Nick Harvey has been named as the new managing director of Aniken Graphics International, a joint venture created to bring Hamillroad’s Bellissima digitally modulated screening (DMS) technology ‘into the flexographic mainstream’.

Aniken Graphics International is a joint venture between Hamillroad and Apex International, a global anilox and metering specialist, after they entered into a strategic partnership intended to ‘disrupt flexo printing industry’.

Harvey, technical director for printing products in the EMEA region at Apex, said: ‘When we looked at the value our customers see with Apex anilox solutions, particularly our GTT anilox products, and we compared those with the value realized by integrating Bellissima into the printing process, we knew the two products combined would naturally provide better printing results for our customers.

‘Bellissima was developed and fine-tuned using GTT, so not only can our customers consistently see print quality results that exceed gravure and offset, but they can do so for a fraction of the cost allowing flexographers to gain significant competitive advantages especially with shorter runs.’
