Bellissima DMS the ‘talk of the show’ at LabelExpo

CAMBRIDGE, UNITED KINGDOM – pre-press software solutions provider, Hamillroad Software Limited, attended LabelExpo Europe, the world’s largest international label event in Brussels, to launch their Digitally Modulated Screening technology: Bellissima DMS.

Danielle Kinsella, Hamillroad Software’s Marketing Director said: “LabelExpo Europe 2017 wasour chosen platform to launch Bellissima DMS to the world of flexographic printing.”

“It was an extremely important event for us and it couldn’t have gone any better. We had well over 500 visitors to our stand alone and the feedback from many was that Bellissima DMS wasthe ‘talk of the show’.

”Bellissima DMS is Digitally Modulated Screening for flexo. DM Screening digitally modulates every pixel it produces thereby precisely controlling the dots in each separation while its “stochastic rosette” interleaves the screens in the separations to eliminate noise and moiré. In addition, the stochastic rosette maximises the ink-on-paper area and minimizes the amount of ink-on-ink to expand the available color gamut while eliminating color shifts due to misregistration.

The screening analyzes each pixel to ensure that no dot is too small to plate or print yet still not large enough to be visible. The result is a quality of print that was previously unobtainable.

Bellissima DMS has also addressed many flexo press problems including bounce, barring and slur which are all significantly reduced and, in some cases, eliminated.

“We believe that the flexographic printing industry will experience a transformative change because of this launch. Through our strategic partnership with Apex International, we have produced a true industry changing solution by combining the best technologies from the prepress side with Bellissima DMS, to the wet-end of the printing process with Apex GTT anilox rolls, all underpinned with global press-side support. We look forward to following up on the many business opportunities that came out of the show and building on those valuable relationships with printers, trade shops and brands with whom we met.” Kinsella concludes.

Bellissima DMS is Hamillroad Software’s Digitally Modulated Screening solution for flexographic printing.
