CAMBRIDGE, UNITED KINGDOM – Aniken Graphics’, a joint venture between Hamillroad Software, a UK based prepress software company, and Apex International, a global leader of anilox and metering products, is proud to announce Cyber Graphics as a full licensed Bellissima partner.
“Cyber Graphics is pleased to officially partner with Aniken Graphics to deliver Bellissima DMS to our printer and brand clients in the US and Canada. Cyber prides itself on offering the very best-in-class products to our customers and Bellissima manages to bring three of these together into one solution: Bellissima DMS screening, modern HD Flat Top Plates and Apex GTT aniloxes,” says David Smith, Manufacturing Projects Manager.
Cyber was announced as one of the first two approved trade shops for Bellissima DMS for the U.S. and Canadian markets and is proud to solidify its partnership with Aniken Graphics to deliver the transformative technology to its customers.
Smith continues, “While Bellissima is a revolutionary product, our customers count on Cyber to make technology transitions easy for them so they can concentrate on building their businesses and bottom lines. Thanks to Cyber’s unrivaled technical expertise and the excellent support from Hamillroad and Apex, Cyber has successfully implemented Bellissima DMS in both Wide Web and Narrow Web print environments. Using direct comparisons with real customer jobs, the visual difference between traditional flexo and Bellissima is undeniable.”
Hamillroad Software’s Bellissima DMS, when used with Apex’s GTT 2.0 rolls, the only certified anilox roll, and the unrivaled technical expertise at Cyber Graphics, has allowed Cyber’s customers to see immediate value to their businesses from the first impression to the last.
Nick Harvey, Managing Director of Aniken Graphics, comments, “Cyber was one of the first companies to trial the Bellissima DMS technology, and following the methodical evaluation and testing period, we can now announce that Cyber Graphics is an official contracted partner to supply the Bellissima DMS screening solution.”
Harvey continues, “As Cyber Graphics is one of the most innovative pre-press/plate suppliers in the USA today, they are an ideal partner to roll out the Bellissima DMS technology into the market. The technology is fully supported by Apex International, MacDermid Graphics Solutions, and Hamillroad Software as a total solution offering. We are looking forward to maximizing the full potential and continue the Bellissima DMS momentum.”
Joe Settanni, North American Business Development Director for Apex International, further echoes this: “The combination of Bellissima DMS, Apex GTT 2.0 anilox, and the expertise of Cyber Graphics continues to prove out as a disruptive technology for flexo printers, rivaling the quality of offset, digital and gravure. We very much look forward to our continued partnership with Cyber Graphics to offer our customers the very best-in-class solution, ultimately allowing them to grow their business and reach new levels of quality previously not seen in flexographic printing.”
