This Heidelberg SM 74-4H is a used 4-colour press — sometimes referred to as an offset press or sheet-fed press — a type of commercial printing machine designed to print four colours in a single pass through the press, making it well suited to full-colour production work such as brochures, catalogues, packaging, and promotional materials. Heidelberg is one of the most widely recognised names in the printing industry, with a long-established reputation for building high-quality sheet-fed and web-fed presses used by commercial printers worldwide.
This press was manufactured in 1996 and has recorded an impression count of 196 million, reflecting a substantial but not unusual service life for a machine of this type. The maximum sheet size is 74 × 52 cm (29 × 20 inches), placing it firmly in the medium-format commercial printing range.
The press is equipped with CPC 1.04, Heidelberg's computerised press control system, which allows operators to manage and store ink zone settings and make precise colour adjustments from a central console. A Graphix powder spray unit is fitted, which applies anti-set-off powder to printed sheets as they are delivered, preventing ink from transferring between stacked sheets. Autoplate is included, providing semi-automatic plate changing to reduce makeready time between jobs. All automatic wash-up systems are present, covering blanket and roller washing.
The seller describes the machine as having no damages and states it is ready for tests, with immediate availability. It is currently located in the United Kingdom and is offered at €89,000.
