The St Albans-based magazine specialist is putting in a Topsetter 102 platesetter, a second eight-colour SM102-8P perfector with CutStar sheeter, a Stitchmaster ST400 saddlestitcher, Prinance MIS and full Prinect workflow, all from Heidelberg.
Sales and marketing director Neil Wass hoped the investment would raise its profile with publishers. We turned heads four years ago when we pioneered the move to PDF, showing how easy it was to use. The potential of JDF will interest a number of key people.
The investment is intended to reduce turnaround from five to three days within two years.
