The North American division of Kumon, a structured, self-learning program with educational centers located worldwide, added a Speedmaster XL 106-9P with Push-to-Stop technology, its first-ever Heidelberg investment, along with running the new press exclusively with Heidelberg’s Saphira Consumables.
 
Printing nearly 100 million worksheets in 2019, Kumon said it needed to add to its existing fleet of offset presses to keep up with the demand at its Hebron, KY plant. 
 
“We’re able to consistently run the press at top speeds of 18,000 sheets per hour, which is significantly faster than our other two machines,” said Tom Mock, operations manager for Kumon. “This press is far more advanced than anything we’ve run before. The consistency of it is outstanding, especially since we typically run thinner, uncoated stocks.”
 
Mock said that Kumon moved nearly 40% of the plant’s total print volume off its other two presses and onto the XL 106.
