This Heidelberg SX 74-8 P is a used 8-colour press — sometimes referred to as a multicolour sheetfed offset press — built in 2014 and currently located in Zaandam, Netherlands. Heidelberg is one of the world's leading manufacturers of sheetfed and commercial printing equipment, supplying presses, prepress systems, and finishing machinery to print shops and packaging operations worldwide. This machine is designed to print up to eight colours in a single pass, making it well suited to high-quality commercial, publication, and packaging print production.
The press handles a sheet size of 53 × 74 cm and has accumulated 226 million impressions. It is configured for perfecting, capable of running either 4-over-4 (both sides in a single pass) or 8-over-0 (all eight colours on one side), giving operators considerable flexibility depending on the job. The seller describes its condition as excellent.
The press is equipped with Heidelberg Press Center and Axis Control for centralised press management and monitoring. Platemaking and changeover are supported by Autoplate XL, an automatic plate-changing system designed to reduce makeready time. Dampening is handled by the Alcolor Vario system, a continuous dampening solution widely used in Heidelberg presses for consistent ink-water balance. The Combistar air-cooled cooling and recirculation unit manages temperature and fountain solution circulation.
Washup systems are comprehensive, covering blanket wash, roller wash, and impression cylinder wash, all of which contribute to efficient turnaround between jobs. A double sheet detector and intercom are included, along with an interface adapter. Anti-static control is provided by a Weko Compact anti-static device fitted in both the feeder and delivery sections, and powder spray duties are handled by a Weko AP 262 unit. The Airstar Pro system supports sheet guiding and delivery performance. This is a fully specified, late-model eight-colour perfecting press ready for high-volume commercial print production.
