Sorry! My bad! I didn't see the plate cylinder in front of the machine. That would mean the blanket is on the flatbed. Most machines of that age were letterpress only! I suppose this is one of the Heidelberg's early attempts at offset printing. You know, Heidelberg was originally a manufacturer of great letterpress printing machines. I was lucky enough to repair a few during my apprenticeship, in the late 70's. Merry Christmas!

@motoronna Incidentally the only working printer in my house is a 26 year old daisy wheel. I wish they would start building things to last again.

Looks like an old Heidelberg KORS. We only use ours for litho-perf and litho-score these days. But yes, I'd agree that the machine is probably from the early to mid 70's. One helluva press!

@motoronna
I've got some bad news for you! That IS NOT an offset, althought IT IS a HEIDELBERG. It's a HEIDELBERG stop-cylinder press, which was built waaay back in the 1960's. It originally printed using zinc clichees and lead letters for text. These were the mainstays of printing plants since the 1900 till late in the 1970's. Great machine! Almost all of the remaining ones are diecutting or hotfoil printing. Some are printing using flexo clichees (which are very similar to the original zinc).

@Kostagh Tim says: "The machine can be configured either to offset
or letterset. I use it as an offset press." Hope that helps!

theres a name for it though, at printing college we called it the big black london taxi!

Tim says it's a KORD 64. He doesn't have a nickname for it, though he agrees it does look like a London black cab. It's German, of course.

jesus i havent seen one of those dinosaur like machines for years what do you call them again?

It's a Heidelberg offset press, made in 1970. It's designed to last a very long time, unlike newer presses.
