It is the final phase of an 18-month scheme worth 1.5m that included a five-colour B2 Komori Lithrone 528 and Creo Lotem 400 platesetter driven by Prinergy.
When we looked for an MIS we wanted it to be JDF-compliant, said operations director Peter Chisholm. We wanted it to link to our presses and pre-press. Hagen had the most advantages.
Hagen will be integrated with the K-Stations controlling its two Lithrones and to Prinergy. The Hertford firm, part of W&J Linney Group, also plans to integrate its new Stahl folder.
The first UK firm to install Hagen was Kent magazine printer Headley Brothers.
