This Heidelberg Speedmaster SM 52-4 Anicolor is a four-color press, a type of offset printing machine used in commercial print production to apply multiple ink colors in a single pass through the press. Heidelberg is one of the world's most widely recognised manufacturers of sheetfed and web offset printing equipment, supplying presses, consumables, and workflow solutions to the graphic arts and print industries globally.
This particular machine dates from 2007 and is located in Italy, currently available in used condition. According to the seller, it has accumulated approximately 40 million impressions and can be viewed while in active production, giving prospective buyers the opportunity to observe it running under real working conditions. The sheet size is stated as 35 × 50 cm, corresponding to the SM 52 format class.
The press is equipped with the CP2000 control console, Heidelberg's digital command and prepress interface that centralises press settings, ink key control, and job management. Alcolor dampening is fitted, a continuous-film dampening system designed to deliver consistent, stable ink-water balance throughout a print run. The Anicolor inking system is a further notable feature, a short-path inking unit that reduces makeready waste and enables rapid job changes by bringing ink up to consistent density more quickly than conventional long-train inking systems.
Additional equipment includes Autoplate for automated plate changing, which reduces downtime between jobs, and automatic washing devices for the blanket and impression cylinders, streamlining the cleaning process between runs. Together, this configuration reflects a press set up for efficient short- to medium-run commercial printing with an emphasis on fast makeready and consistent colour output.
