This Heidelberg SM 74 6 Color Press is a six-colour offset printing press — sometimes referred to as a multicolour sheet-fed press — designed for high-volume commercial print production. Heidelberg is one of the world's most widely recognised names in offset lithography, manufacturing sheetfed and web presses, finishing equipment, and related printing systems for the commercial, packaging, and publishing industries.
This particular machine was manufactured in 1997 and is offered in used condition from a seller based in Turkey, priced at €130,000. It operates in a 50×70 cm format, placing it in the medium-format sheetfed category suitable for a broad range of commercial print work.
A key feature of this press is its 4+2 perfector configuration, meaning it prints four colours on one side of the sheet and two colours on the reverse in a single pass. This inline perfecting capability significantly increases throughput for jobs requiring work-and-turn or duplex printing, eliminating the need for a second pass through the press. The machine has accumulated 178 million printed impressions over its service life, indicating extensive use in a production environment. It is also equipped with automatic plate installation, a feature that reduces makeready time by streamlining the plate-changing process and minimising manual intervention between jobs.
