This Heidelberg SM52 4 Color Press is a used four-colour offset printing press — sometimes referred to as a four-colour litho press — built for commercial sheet-fed printing across packaging, commercial print, and general offset production work. Heidelberg is one of the world's foremost manufacturers of printing equipment, with a long-established reputation for engineering quality presses used in print shops and production facilities worldwide. This example is a 2002 model, currently located in Turkey and available for inspection.
According to the seller, this machine is the SM52-4P3 variant and is equipped with a perfector unit, allowing it to run either as a straight four-colour press in a 4+0 configuration or as a two-colour perfector in a 2+2 configuration, printing both sides of the sheet in a single pass. This dual-mode capability makes it well suited to operations requiring both single-sided colour work and two-sided printing without a separate backing-up pass.
The press is also fitted with a dispersion coating unit, which enables the application of water-based coatings inline during the print run — a useful feature for protective or aesthetic finishing without a separate offline process. An extended delivery (long outlet) is included, providing additional space for printed sheets to dry or cool before stacking, which is particularly beneficial when running coated substrates or applying aqueous coatings.
The seller describes the machine as well cared for and states that it remains in active production, with test printing available for prospective buyers to verify its condition and print quality firsthand.
