The anchor of the Scientology Dissemination and Distribution Center printing plant is a custom-built 121-ton web press. Among other materials, it prints Church magazines in 17 languages, with a global circulation of millions. The press accommodates these diverse needs with the capability of automatically switching print jobs from one language to another, without stopping or even slowing down. It prints at a rate of 55,000 pages per hour. The facility includes both sheet-fed and digital presses to produce the hundreds of thousands of informational pieces that Church organizations use to introduce their communities to the Scientology religion and its services.
