‘Our Network provides brands and printers a quick and simple way to locate qualified plate-making partners in their regions of interest and contact them directly using the dedicated page on the Hamillroad website,’ explained Danielle Kinsella, marketing director at Hamillroad Software.

According to Kinsella this initiative highlights the strength of collaboration within the flexographic market and the growing reach of Bellissima. ‘We have recently seen great success in North America, South America, and the APAC region. We expect the growth of the network to continue well into 2021 and beyond,’ she added.

Bill Hounshell, VP of printing services at Phototype (Olberding Brands), a Bellissima trade shop customer in the US added: ‘We are excited to have alternative paths supporting the implementation of Bellissima screening for our printing partners. The Bellissima Network will reduce the turnaround time greatly and open up the opportunities for many others to take advantage of this incredible technology.’

‘Bellissima has taken an industrial printing technique and modernized it for today’s era of ultra-high-definition media. Bellissima is the vital link between printing and pre-press. We are proud to be part of this project and the network,’ commented Joan Rodríguez, technical director of Flexographic Solutions in Spain.

‘We feel the value in the Bellissima Network will grow this technology faster than ever before,’ said Kevin Bourquin, VP of operations at Cyber Graphics. ‘By sharing our experiences with others, we can learn from one another in our quest for the perfect packaging pre-press. As one of the first qualified partners in Bellissima, Cyber Graphics can help make this technology a standard in high definition print for years to come. We are excited to be part of this new knowledge-sharing platform and hope to hear and see all of the great things happening with Bellissima.’
