Los Angeles, CA, August 2026 – Bridge Publications, an award-winning, state-of-the-art, fully digital in-house publisher, has received official recognition from HP after one of its HP Indigo 7K digital presses achieved 7.2 million impressions in a single month—a performance confirmed by HP as the world record for the Indigo 7K category.

The achievement was recognized with an HP Certificate of Outstanding Performance, presented by Noam Zilbershtain, Vice President and General Manager of HP Indigo, naming Bridge Publications the 2026 Record Printer by Volume for HP Indigo Series 3 commercial presses in the Americas region. HP also confirmed that the press's output of 7.2 million impressions established a world record for the HP Indigo 7K category.

The record-setting performance was accomplished while producing Bridge's largest collection of new titles in recent years, surpassing its previous benchmark established in 2013.

The global release introduced the Illustrated Principles of Scientology books—20 new titles in 25 languages together with corresponding course materials, totaling more than 1,000 new items. Altogether, the collection comprises a comprehensive library of more than 3,000 pages and nearly 2,000 illustrations presenting the works of L. Ron Hubbard.

The materials were produced for coordinated release events held across multiple continents.

To meet the worldwide demand, Bridge printed more than 250,000 books during an accelerated production schedule and shipped them to every Church of Scientology within its distribution regions, including North and Latin America, Africa, Asia, Australia and New Zealand.

In total, Bridge distributed 19,325 complete sets of the Illustrated Principles of Scientology books to 49 countries. The initial shipment alone weighed 453,572 pounds—approximately 225 tons.

Bridge's fleet of ten HP Indigo 7K presses sustained an extraordinary level of productivity throughout the project. On average, each press produced 6.5 million impressions during the month—more than double the output of the next highest-performing press in the region, which recorded 2.9 million impressions.

The record-setting 7.2 million impressions achieved by one Bridge Indigo 7K press established a new world benchmark for the platform, reflecting both the capabilities of HP's digital printing technology and Bridge Publications' expertise in high-volume production.

The official HP recognition marks a historic milestone for Bridge Publications. By pairing world-record digital press performance with one of the largest publishing releases in its history, the company has demonstrated a new benchmark for productivity, precision and global distribution. As demand for high-quality, high-volume digital printing continues to grow, Bridge Publications has shown what is possible when cutting-edge technology, skilled craftsmanship and meticulous planning come together at an unprecedented scale.

Established in 1981, Bridge Publications, Inc. in Los Angeles, California, is the publisher of the nonfiction works of international best-selling author L. Ron Hubbard. Visit: Bridge Publications
