This Heidelberg SM 52-4 is a used four-color press — sometimes referred to as a four-color offset press — built for commercial sheet-fed printing. Four-color presses of this type are the workhorses of the printing industry, used to produce brochures, catalogues, packaging, and a wide range of other full-color printed materials by laying down cyan, magenta, yellow, and black ink in a single pass through the machine. Heidelberg is one of the most widely recognized names in the global printing industry, known for manufacturing precision sheet-fed and web offset presses as well as pre-press and finishing equipment used by commercial printers worldwide.
This example was manufactured in 2009 and is offered in used, as-is, where-is condition from a seller located in Bulgaria. It carries an impressive print history of approximately 35 million impressions.
The press is equipped with the CP 2000 control system, Heidelberg's computerized press management console that centralizes job setup, ink presetting, and print quality monitoring. Autoplate is fitted, which automates the plate-changing process to reduce makeready times between jobs. Ink roller wash-up and blanket wash-up devices are both included, allowing automated cleaning of the inking system and printing blankets without manual intervention. An impression cylinder band wash-up device is also present, further streamlining press maintenance. The machine is fitted with an antistatic device to manage static buildup in the paper path, and a standard powder spray system is included to prevent wet-ink sheets from offsetting as they are delivered and stacked.
