This KBA RA 162 A4 is a used 4-colour press — a type of offset printing machine, sometimes referred to as a sheetfed offset press — built to handle multicolour commercial and packaging print work in a single pass. KBA, or Koenig & Bauer, is one of the world's oldest and most established press manufacturers, supplying sheetfed and web offset equipment to commercial printers, packaging producers, and publishing houses globally.
This 2008 machine is configured for straight printing and comes equipped with a substantial package of automation and quality-control features. The Colortronics colour measurement and control system supports consistent ink density management across the press run, while the Ergotronics console provides the operator with a centralised interface for press control and adjustment. Dampening is handled by a Varidamp system, which delivers reliable, contactless moisture application to the printing plates for stable dot reproduction.
Ink temperature is actively managed through a dedicated temperature-control system, helping to maintain viscosity consistency throughout production. Baldwin refrigeration and recirculation equipment works alongside this to regulate ink and roller temperatures. Automatic plate changing is fitted, reducing makeready times between jobs, and Baldwin automatic ink roller and blanket washers are installed on the press, minimising manual intervention during wash-up cycles.
The feeder and delivery sections are fitted with steel plates for durability and resistance to wear. An antistatic system is included to reduce paper handling issues caused by static build-up, and a powder spray unit is fitted at delivery to prevent wet ink offsetting between printed sheets. The machine is located in Italy and is offered in used condition. Documentation including manuals and tools is included with the sale.
