The Original Heidelberg Platen Press was a letterpress printing press manufactured by the Heidelberg Druckmaschinen company in Germany. It was often referred to as the Heidelberg Windmill, after the shape and movement of its paper feed system. When introduced, it was also called the “Super Heidelberg” or the “Super Speed”.
The Original Heidelberg Platen Press was introduced in 1914 and manufactured between 1923 and 1985.
Although the Original Heidelberg Platen Press is no longer being manufactured, it is still in wide use for commercial and enthusiast letterpress printing.
