Heidelberg GTO 52-1 Single Color Offset Printing Machine – 1984

The Heidelberg GTO 52-1 (1984) is a classic single-color offset printing press manufactured in Germany by Heidelberg Druckmaschinen AG. It is designed for straightforward, high-precision printing applications where reliability and simplicity are essential.

The machine is equipped with a conventional dampening system, ensuring stable ink-water balance during production. A plate punch is included for accurate plate positioning, while the powder spraying system helps prevent ink set-off during sheet delivery.

This press features newly installed printing rubber, improving ink transfer and print consistency. It also comes with 50 metal sheets, making it ready for immediate operation. Thanks to its robust mechanical design, the GTO 52-1 is easy to maintain and suitable for long-term use.

The machine has recorded approximately 62 million impressions, which is reasonable for its age, and reflects normal wear consistent with careful operation. It is a solid choice for workshops, educational facilities, or businesses needing a dedicated monochrome offset solution.
