Heidelberger Druckmaschinen AG

Heidelberger Druckmaschinen AG, commonly known as Heidelberg, was founded in 1850 by Andreas Hamm, the son of a miller who took over a bell foundry in the town of Frankenthal. Initially, the company produced agricultural and mechanical equipment, but by the late 19th century, it had shifted its focus to printing machinery.

The company gained international recognition with the release of its cylinder printing press in 1914 and, most famously, the "Windmill" (Tiegel) automatic platen press in 1927. Known for its reliability and distinctive design, the Windmill became an icon of the printing industry. In the post-war years, Heidelberg rapidly expanded and became a leading manufacturer of offset printing presses.

From the 1962 onward, Heidelberg specialized in sheetfed offset printing, continuously innovating with increasingly automated and precise machines. In the 1990s, the company invested heavily in prepress and postpress technologies and expanded its global presence by establishing branches and service centers in numerous countries.

Today, Heidelberg is not only the world’s largest manufacturer of offset printing equipment but also a provider of comprehensive solutions in prepress, postpress, and digital workflow integration. The brand remains a symbol of German engineering excellence and a benchmark of quality in the global printing industry.

CPC & Prinect

In the world of printing, the 1980s was an era of transformation, when mechanics and manual labour began to give way to digital technology. One of the symbols of this revolution was the Heidelberg CPC (Central Printing Control) range of digital printing controls. These modules ushered in a new era of automation, offering solutions that radically simplified and accelerated the work of printers.

Heidelberg T-Offset

Heidelberg T-Offset (1984-1995) is a compact sheetfed offset printing press designed for short runs and printing on a variety of materials. Reliable and easy to maintain, it became a popular choice for print shops seeking Heidelberg quality on a limited budget and within a small footprint.

The machine featured a host of options and interesting technical solutions that later appeared on digital copiers from other companies. That is why this modell can be called a forefather of digital duplicators.

Heidelberg Quickmaster QM 46

For decades, Heidelberger Druckmaschinen AG has been a trendsetter in printing technology. However, like any dynamic company, Heidelberg has had to adapt to changing market realities. In the early 1990s, the decision was made to discontinue production of the T-Offset sheetfed offset press and replace it with a more modern and versatile model, the Quickmaster QM 46 (1995-2005).

Heidelberg Speedmaster SM52

By the early 1990s, it was clear that the GTO printing machine was no longer capable of meeting the increasingly complex requirements of customers in the B3 format. This led to the birth of the Heidelberg SM 52, the most automated compact offset printing machine. The design proved so successful that there is still no alternative to it today.

Heidelberg Printmaster PM52

From 2002 to 2008, Heidelberg produced the Printmaster series of printing machines, which were designed to divide the target audiences for the Speedmaster and GTO series machines. However, the new abbreviation caused confusion and led to confusion among buyers.

Let's take a closer look at this configuration and find out what distinguishes this version from the standard Speedmaster.

Heidelberg K-offset

Although Heidelberg is now the undisputed leader in the production of printing machines, it was the last of the well-known companies to enter the offset printing market. The K-offset series was the first attempt to test the offset printing market, and rumour has it that it was developed without much enthusiasm on the part of CEO Schubert Sternberg....

The KORS and KORD models are no longer found in Europe, but in the Middle East and India, these machines are still earning money for their owners. And they provide good print quality.

Heidelberg M-offset

Since the early 1980s, Heidelberg has been striving to occupy as many market niches as possible. The Heidelberg M-Offset series no longer meets the format requirements of modern printing houses. Nevertheless, the machines were produced in an unprecedented number of different versions, which made their production extremely expensive. The MO, MO-E, MO-S, MOZ, MOV, MOF, MOS and other automated presses were on a par with Speedmaster printing machines. However, following a major upgrade in 1995, Heidelberg significantly reduced the number of versions and completely abandoned the intermediate format 48x65 cm.

Heidelberg S-Offset

In 1967, a printing machine appeared, which became a ‘work on mistakes’ after the unsuccessful launch of the Rotaspeed model. The SORM, SORD, SORS models, as well as the two-colour SORMZ, SORDZ, and SORSZ models, after a series of improvements, managed to stay on the assembly line until 2000. Even now, they can be found in many printing houses in Europe and around the world.

Heidelberg Speedmaster SM72

The Speedmaster SM72 model enjoyed success in the second half of the 1980s. Thanks to its high degree of automation and countless versions, the machine proved to be flexible and versatile, allowing it to be one of the best in its class, on a par with the Miller TP74.

Heidelberg Speedmaster SM74

It would seem that the Heidelberg SM74 model is a logical continuation of the SM 72, which was discontinued in 1994. But this is not entirely true. The designers completely rethought the equipment of the printing machine, which allows the Speedmaster SM 74 to be considered a separate model.

Heidelberg Printmaster PM74

As with the Printmaster PM52, the model name PM74 is more likely to confuse the buyer than indicate a specific target group. However, it is essentially an SM74 with a low delivery and a reduced range of optional equipment.

Heidelberg Speedmaster CD74

The author of this article remembers well the time when almost all of Heidelberg's competitors were producing printing machines with double-diameter printing cylinders in B2 format. Although the company actively promoted its SM74, it was not suitable for working with thick cardboard. Then, in 2003, a new, promising machine for packaging and labelling appeared, which, as you might guess, was once again head and shoulders above all its competitors.

Heidelberg Rotaspeed

By now you’ve probably thought that we’ve been praising Heidelberg developments too much. Well, today we’re going to talk about the most unsuccessful machine of all time.

We’ll tell you about a printing press from Heidelberg that you’ve probably never heard of. Maybe it’s for the best, as this machine has earned the title of the worst printing machine ever produced by Heidelberger Druckmaschinen AG.

Heidelberg Speedmaster SM102

To correct the mistakes made in the design of the Rotaspeed, a new model for printing books and magazines, the Speedmaster SM102, was launched in 1972. The new concept allowed the production of multi-colour machines with two to six and later up to twelve units. A new perfecting device was also introduced for the new machine.

Heidelberg Speedmaster CD102

Despite its external similarity to the SM102, the CD102 model has little in common with it. This machine is equipped with double-diameter printing cylinders. The transfer cylinder has a triple diameter. But the special feature of this model is the AIR TRANSFER sheet delivery system with Venturi air jets that smooth the sheet from the centre to the edges.

Heidelberg Speedmaster XL105

The Heidelberg XL105 appeared in 2003. Like the CD74, it was a rare example of a printing machine designed not on the basis of previous models, but from scratch, relying only on the latest developments. The machine became the fastest sheetfed printing machine in the world, not only in terms of printing speed, but also in terms of minimum makeready time.

Heidelberg Speedmaster XL106

The Heidelberg XL106 was a logical continuation of the XL105 model. It is not a new model, but rather a restyling of a well-proven offset printing machine. In 2012, the XL105 model was renamed, hinting at one additional centimetre of paper width.

Today, the XL75 and XL106 are the only printing machines manufactured in Germany.
