Large Size Printing Process by Heidelberg SORD Printing Machine

Offset printing
Offset printing is a common printing technique in which the inked image is transferred from a plate to a rubber blanket and then to the printing surface. When used in combination with the lithographic process, which is based on the repulsion of oil and water, the offset technique employs a flat image carrier. Wikipedia

I ran printing presses for over 20 years. These guys are fast with the setup. It's like a dance with the machine. I miss it as it was a fun way to make a living back in the day.

I ran Sords and Sorks before upgrading to an Mozp back in the late 1980's. Heidelbergs just keep on going, I havent run an offset machine in over 20 years. Switched over to Flexo running 6 and 8 colour inline and satellite presses for about 10 years. Now I just run a small print business with wide format printing, signage, apparel and merchandise. Its very different now. Cant believe those machines are still going.

Ran Heidelbergs for 25 years don't miss it

[davewickizer]

Wow. I'm 70 and ran a slightly older model by myself and set records on it I was told. But to be fair as a single color with huge runs it was pretty easy

Alhamdulillah. I have it in Mumbai. Using it since 2018

Die Drucker arbeiten schnell und sind motiviert, allerdings ohne jegliche Vorsichtsmaßnahmen. Das Schutzgitter an der Ausgabe ist immer offen.

Man the way he treats those plates they must have scratches and dents all over, lets hope its not a long run

The clamp that holds the plate is the same as that of the Solna 125. Greetings from Peru.

Why does it take two guys to operate a single color press?

Sord con ayudante? Yo trabajo una speedmaster 102x72 6 cuerpos sin ayudante asi es chile

[walwiz]

Eine wunderbare Druckmaschine. Doch die Einfarbenmaschinen sind durch Mehrfarbenmaschinen ersetzt worden insbesondere im A 1 Format. Zudem ist erkennbar wo überall auf der Welt deutsche Maschinen laufen. ich hatte meine Zeit noch mit MAN, Roland und Köbau besonders im Großformatigen Bereich. Zuletzt Rollenoffset Köbau S 60 10 Farben, Solna 18 Werke (Y+X) 2 Baldwin-Ausgänge
