Heidelberg SM 52-8 P Axis Offset Printing Machine – 52×37 – 2005

The Heidelberg SM 52-8 P Axis (2005) is a compact yet highly productive 8-color perfecting press designed for premium commercial printing. With 4/4 configuration, it allows full-color double-sided printing in a single pass, significantly reducing production time and operational costs.

Featuring CPC 2000 with Axis Control, operators benefit from advanced digital color management, precise ink control, and streamlined job setup. The Autoplate system enables fast and automated plate changes, while the complete washing devices (ink rollers, blankets, and impression cylinders) minimize downtime.

The Alcolor dampening system combined with Technotrans refrigeration and ink temperature control ensures consistent color stability during long production runs. The integrated IR dryer enhances drying performance and production efficiency.
