This MAN Roland OB PLV is a used 4-color press — also known as a four-color offset press — a type of commercial printing machine designed to reproduce full-color work in a single pass by laying down four separate ink colors, typically cyan, magenta, yellow, and black, in precise registration. MAN Roland is a well-established name in the printing industry, long recognized for manufacturing high-specification sheetfed and web offset presses used in commercial, publication, and packaging print environments worldwide. This example was manufactured in 2007 and is currently located in Bulgaria.
The press is configured as a perfecting machine, meaning it can print on both sides of the sheet in a single run. It handles a maximum sheet size of 74.0 cm in length and 53.0 cm in width (approximately 29.1 × 20.8 inches), and has accumulated 205 million impressions over its working life. Maximum rated speed is 18,000 sheets per hour, placing it firmly in the high-productivity segment of commercial sheetfed presses.
Dampening is handled by a Roland Deltamatic system paired with a Technotrans combi cooling unit that regulates both ink and water temperatures, contributing to stable ink-water balance across long runs. The inking system is specified as a premium configuration with Quick Format Change capability, which reduces makeready time when switching between job sizes. Ink measurement and color control are managed by a ColorPilot D densitometry unit integrated into the operator console, with a measuring head track that reads measuring strips from either the gripper edge or the tail edge of the sheet.
Plate loading is automated through a Combi Control PPL power plate loading system. Washing is fully automatic, covering the ink train, blankets, and impression cylinders. The press is also equipped with a Quickchange coater featuring a chambered doctor blade (kammerrakel) system, allowing aqueous or other coatings to be applied inline. Drying is provided by an integrated IR dryer, and delivery is of the extended type, giving coated and freshly printed sheets additional time to set before stacking.
The listing includes books and manuals, as well as two anilox rollers. The machine is offered on an as-is, where-is basis.
