The Sakurai 466 SI is a used four-colour offset press — sometimes referred to as a four-colour litho press — a type of printing machine designed to lay down multiple ink colours in a single pass through the press, enabling full-colour commercial and packaging print production. Sakurai is a well-established Japanese manufacturer with a long history of producing sheetfed offset presses and related printing equipment, serving commercial printers, packaging producers, and trade shops worldwide.
This 2004 machine is located in Estonia and was in active production at the time of listing, with an impression count of 88 million cycles recorded. The maximum sheet size it handles is 640 × 440 mm (25 × 17 inches), placing it in the B2 format class and making it suitable for a broad range of commercial print work.
The press is equipped with an autoplate system, which allows printing plates to be changed quickly and with reduced manual intervention, helping to shorten makeready times between jobs. A touch-screen control interface is fitted, providing the operator with centralised, intuitive management of press functions. The configuration also includes CIPStraightAutoplate, indicating integration with CIP3/CIP4 workflow standards for automated plate positioning and register, further streamlining job changeovers.
Additional equipment on the press includes an Alcolor dampening system, which is a continuous dampening solution widely used in offset printing to deliver consistent and controlled water feed to the printing units. A blanket washer is fitted for automated cleaning of the offset blankets, reducing downtime between jobs. An IR dryer is installed to accelerate ink drying on the substrate as sheets exit the press. The rollers have been replaced and are described as new, indicating recent maintenance investment on a critical wearing component of the press.
