A used offset printing machine in India costs roughly ₹3 lakh to ₹25 lakh, depending on brand, sheet size, number of colours, year and condition. A compact two-colour press can start near ₹3–6 lakh, a full-size four-colour Heidelberg or Komori typically runs ₹12–22 lakh, and a late-model machine with a coater can reach ₹25 lakh+. This guide gives real price bands by model so you can budget before you enquire — and every band links to live machines in stock at our Delhi NCR godown.

What decides the price of a used offset printing machine?
Two presses of the same model can differ by several lakh. Before you compare quotes, understand the five things that actually move the price:
- Number of colours. The single biggest factor. A 4-colour press costs far more than a 2-colour, and a 5-colour (or 4+coater) more again — each unit adds print towers, gears and value.
- Sheet size. Full-size (28×40 in / 72×102 cm) machines cost more than half-size (20×29 in / 52×74 cm) or small-format (GTO / SORS) presses.
- Year & impression count. Newer year and lower impressions (total sheets run — like kilometres on a car) push the price up. A well-maintained older machine can still beat a neglected newer one.
- Automation & extras. CP2000 / CP Tronic console, Autoplate automatic plate change, Alcolor dampening, Technotrans chiller and an inline coater all add real value.
- Condition. “Used working” vs fully “rebuilt / refurbished” — a rebuilt press costs more but comes ready to run.
Used offset printing machine price in India by colour

| 4 colour (full size) | ₹12–20 lakh | Books, magazines, cartons, volume work |
| 5 colour / 4+coater | ₹18–25 lakh+ | Packaging, premium cartons, coating inline |

Heidelberg offset printing machine price in India
Heidelberg holds its resale value better than most makes — German build, spare-part availability across India, and proven reliability. Typical used prices:
| Model | Sheet size | Typical price (used) |
|---|---|---|
| SORMZ (2-colour) | Compact | ₹3–6 lakh |
| SM 74 (4/5-colour) | 20×29 in | ₹8–12 lakh |
| SM 102V (4-colour) | 28×40 in | ₹6–9 lakh |
| SM 102-4 with CP2000 | 28×40 in | ₹15–20 lakh |
| CD 102 (4/5-colour, coater) | 28×40 in | ₹18–25 lakh |

Komori offset printing machine price in India
Komori (Lithrone series) is the other benchmark for Indian packaging and commercial printers — excellent registration and build, often priced a little below the equivalent Heidelberg on the used market.
| Model | Sheet size | Typical price (used) |
|---|---|---|
| Lithrone 26 / 28 (4-colour, half size) | 20×29 in | ₹9–14 lakh |
| Lithrone 40 / 440 (4-colour, full size) | 28×40 in | ₹14–22 lakh |
| Lithrone 40 (5-colour / +coater) | 28×40 in | ₹20–28 lakh |
Prices vary with generation (L / LS / GL), console and automation. Tell us the model and year you want and we’ll quote the exact figure.
4 colour offset printing machine price
“Four colour” is the most-searched configuration because it prints full CMYK work in a single pass. On the used market in India:
- Half-size 4-colour (SM 74, Lithrone 26/28): ₹8–14 lakh — the affordable entry to full-colour commercial printing.
- Full-size 4-colour (SM 102, CD 102, Lithrone 40): ₹12–20 lakh — for books, cartons and volume commercial work.
A four-colour used press is the sweet spot for most printers upgrading from single/two-colour: it opens up brochures, packaging and magazine work without the cost of a brand-new machine. Message us your budget and we’ll shortlist matching four-colour machines with photos and running video.
Why our prices are transparent
Most sellers hide the number behind “ask for price”. We publish a price band on every listing and every model above so you can budget honestly before you enquire. Year, colours and impression count are stated openly, and we invite you to watch the machine running — in person at our godown or on video — before any money changes hands.
That said, a printed price is a starting point. Year and impression count give real room to match a machine to your budget, so if a press suits your work but the number is tight, talk to us.
Is a used offset machine worth it vs new?
A new full-size four-colour press can cost several crore. A well-inspected used machine at ₹12–20 lakh does the same commercial work at a fraction of the capital — which is why the overwhelming majority of Indian print shops run pre-owned Heidelberg and Komori presses. The key is buying inspected stock from a dealer who stands behind the machine to installation, not an as-is auction lot.
