Hamillroad and Xsys expand Bellissima access

Hamillroad Software has entered a partnership with Xsys to broaden access to its Bellissima screening technology, combining it with Xsys flexographic plates, Thermoflex imagers and Catena E processing systems.

The collaboration will deliver ongoing support for Bellissima with the nyloflex ITP 60 plate and expand compatibility across additional Xsys plates and hardware. The partnership also coincides with the upcoming launch of the third-generation Thermoflex Edge laser imager, which Xsys says will enable high-end flexo prepress output at increased speeds.

'This partnership opens the door for more flexo printers to tap into Bellissima's unmatched fidelity, cost savings and environmental benefits,' said Pierre Hammond, interim CEO and commercial director of Hamillroad. 'By integrating with nyloflex plates and Thermoflex hardware, we're making it even easier for printers to elevate print quality and drive operational performance.'

Dr Alexander Unterschuetz, CEO of Xsys, noted that the renewed partnership offers the industry an alternative workflow and platemaking path for high-end flexo prepress, with clear added value through the combination of Bellissima screening and Xsys hardware.
