This Heidelberg SM102-10 P is a used 8-color press — sometimes referred to as an eight-color offset press or multicolor sheetfed press — built in 2005 and currently located in Italy. Eight-color presses of this type are designed for high-volume commercial printing, enabling complex, color-rich work such as packaging, promotional materials, and publications to be produced in a single pass through the machine. Heidelberg is one of the most widely recognised names in sheetfed offset printing, with a long-established reputation for building precision press equipment that serves commercial printers, packaging producers, and print service providers worldwide.
The press is equipped with Heidelberg's CP 2000 control console, featuring a touch-screen interface with remote control of axial, circumferential, and diagonal register, ink ductor rotation control, and full job memorisation. The console suite includes CP 2000 MasterLevel, Preset Link, MemoryPlus, ManagementGate, and InstantStar, providing integrated workflow and press management capabilities. CP 2000 Tandem Wash enables impression cylinder washing directly from the console, and the Preset Plus Feeder system prepares ink and dampening settings ahead of the run to minimise makeready time.
The feeder section is comprehensively specified. It includes a head feeder with three additional suctions for paper transport, a front sensor mounted on the feeder flap, and a slowdown system that reduces sheet speed to below 65% at the feeder. Sheet control is handled by an electromechanical shingle control, an ultrasonic double-sheet sensor, and a suction belt feeder with three transport sections feeding sheets to the frontal registers. A multiple-sheet detector with tear-off function and a forwarding roller with multiple-sheet control add further reliability. Pneumatic side register control is integrated with an auto-cleaning function and a direct-system double-sheet detector. Two Eltex ion blowers are fitted to the feeder to manage static.
Inking and dampening equipment includes the Alcolor Vario dampening system and CombiStar, which combines Technotrans ink temperature control with dampening refrigeration and AlcoControl for precise ink and water management. The inking unit is fitted with remote distributor-roller adjustment. Roller wash-up is controlled via CP 2000, and the blanket cylinder washing device is a modular unit also managed through CP 2000. WashStar provides automatic cleaning of catch pans.
The press is configured for both straight and perfecting work, with semi-automatic 10/0 and 5/5 perfecting capability. AutoPlate facilitates semi-automatic plate changing. Delivery-side equipment includes PowerStar Duo Plus (Grafix Exactronic Duo Plus) for powder spraying, CleanStar for powder spray suction filtration, AirStar for central air cooling, and ScrollStar, supplied by an Atlas Copco compressor. The press is prepared for Cut-Star inline sheeting integration.
