Nick Harvey, Managing Director at Aniken Graphics International, comments: “Receiving this endorsement by such a well-regarded company in the industry, further demonstrates that the best-of-breed technology solution is working. It’s working across printers, across trade shops, and across countries. With Bellissima DMS we’re simplifying the process, removing the problems and redefining what is possible in flexo.”

Bellissima DMS

Using Bellissima, high-quality prints equivalent to 350-450 lpi are produced with unrivaled image reproduction and no color shifts on misregistration. Utilizing fixed palette inks the screening delivers smooth flat tints and moiré free prints. Vignettes fade smoothly to nothing enabled by printed highlight dots as low as 1.0% and shadow dots up to 99.5%.

Working optimally at 4,000 dpi, the patented screening includes features such as 100% solid surface patterning options and solid object protection. Printing press issues including bounce, barring and slur are all reduced significantly, and in some cases, eliminated. Bellissima DMS also delivers on ink savings, which can be augmented by GCR based software, improves the efficiency of the press room, and utilizes existing printing press equipment.

Bellissima Digitally Modulated Screening (DMS) technology for flexo received the prestigious 2018 Technical Innovation Award from the Flexographic Technical Association (FTA). This award recognizes and celebrates the incredible achievements which have contributed to the growth of the flexographic industry and have the potential to power flexography’s future.

Phase One sales of Bellissima DMS includes trade shops, converters and flexographic printers currently using Apex GTT anilox rolls and sleeves together with MacDermid Graphics Solutions’ LUX ITP 60 or DuPont Cyrel EASY EFX / ESX plates.
