HarperScientific partners with Nu Tech Coatings

HarperScientific, the printing and coating supplies division of global anilox roll supplier Harper Corporation of America, has signed a partnership agreement with Nu Tech Coatings of Johnson City, Tennessee.

Through this agreement, HarperScientific will represent the full line of Nu Tech’s products, including an innovative patent-pending plate cylinder coating for narrow web presses called PEC (Performance Enhancing Cylinder), that absorbs vibration. PEC is guaranteed to improve print quality by reducing or removing gear marks or banding, and improving tonal range. The unique PEC material can be applied to existing plate cylinders.

‘Nu Tech offers a very impressive and innovative product line,’ said Tony Donato, technical sales solutions manager for HarperScientific. ‘Being a domestic distributor of its products allows us to offer our customers several more cutting-edge technologies to increase efficiency and improve their operations.’

According to Jim Wyman, vice president of Nu Tech, ‘There are several reasons why we believe Harper to be an excellent partner for us: It’s a company with extensive press room experience, outstanding customer technical support, the reputation of an industry leader, and it’s known for delivering a consistent product. We’re thrilled to be working together.’
