This Ryobi 928 is a used eight-colour press, a type of sheetfed offset printing machine capable of laying down eight colours in a single pass through the press. Also known as a multicolour offset press, this class of equipment is widely used in commercial, packaging, and publication printing for high-volume, colour-critical work. Ryobi is a well-established Japanese manufacturer with a long history in the graphic arts and printing industry, producing offset presses that are found in print shops across a broad range of scales and markets.
Built in 2013 and located in Germany, this press carries a counter reading of 176 million impressions. It handles a sheet format of 640 mm × 920 mm and runs at a rated speed of 16,000 sheets per hour, placing it firmly in the high-productivity segment of commercial sheetfed printing.
The press is equipped with automatic plate changing, which reduces makeready time between jobs, and an automatic blanket cleaning device that streamlines the washup process between runs. An automatic ink roller washup device is also fitted, further reducing downtime during job changes. Ink distribution is assisted by an oscillating from-roller system, which promotes even ink coverage across the sheet.
On the feeding side, the machine features a preset stream feeder for consistent sheet handling at high speeds, a multi-sheet detector to catch feeding errors before they reach the printing units, and double sheet control integrated into the side marks for additional security against misfeeds. A pneumatic pull side guide ensures precise lateral registration throughout the run.
Delivery-side equipment includes a powder spray unit to prevent ink set-off between freshly printed sheets in the delivery pile. The press also benefits from a central air supply cabinet, consolidating pneumatic services in a single location, and a Technotrans ink temperature and dampening water conditioning system, which helps maintain consistent print quality over long runs.
