Lebanon Junction and Versailles, Kentucky—Sheridan, a leading book and publication printer, has strengthened its production capabilities at its Kentucky-based facilities—located in Lebanon Junction and Versailles—enhancing efficiency, increasing capacity, and reinforcing its commitment to the publishing markets it serves.
At the Versailles facility, which specializes in book manufacturing for trade and education publishers, two state-of-the-art Screen PlateRite Ultima platesetters were installed, delivering faster throughput, improved reliability, and consistent plate quality across all offset presses. A new HP Indigo 120K digital press was also brought online, streamlining digital component printing with greater capacity, enhanced image quality, and increased flexibility to support the growing demand for ultra-short-run and print-on-demand books.
The Lebanon Junction facility, focused on publication printing—including magazines and catalogs—recently added a Goss Sunday 3000 press. This 72″ press, further supported by a fully automated wide-web prepress system, delivers a significant boost in capacity and efficiency, particularly for high-volume publication work. Its scale and capabilities position the plant to assist with peak-season educational book printing—providing support during high-demand periods when education publishers require fast, large-scale output.
“These updates represent more than operational upgrades—they’re a targeted investment in the future of our customers and our communities,” said Paula Montgomery, President of Sheridan. “By expanding capacity and optimizing workflows at these locations, we’re ensuring we have the scale and flexibility to support our publishing partners—whether they’re producing books, catalogs, or high-circulation magazines—with the speed and quality they expect from Sheridan.”
These enhancements not only underscore Sheridan’s responsiveness to evolving customer needs but also reinforce its role as an important regional employer. As the company continues to align operations for maximum efficiency and output, it remains committed to fostering job growth and opportunity within its Kentucky communities.
With upgraded capabilities at both facilities, Sheridan is well-positioned to continue its tradition of quality, innovation, and dependable service across the publishing spectrum.
