The Heidelberg KORD 64 is a renowned single-color offset press, manufactured by Heidelberger Druckmaschinen AG (Heidelberg) between 1961 and 1986. Known for its heavy-duty German engineering and dependable performance, the KORD remains a popular machine for small to medium-volume printing, especially in commercial stationery and specialty print production. Officially, the K line and KORD presses were considered obsolete years ago, but if you find one in good shape, it will do great work. This model is often called the "gold standard of robustness" due to its ability to handle precise work and long-term durability. The K series offset presses were designed based on the K series letterpress presses, making it easier for operators to learn offset, as many controls and features were the same.
