Asahi Photoproducts appoints technical application engineer in the UK

Russell brings around 18 years of experience in repro calibration, optimization and application of photopolymer plates to Asahi Photoproducts UK, having spent nearly two decades at YRG Group.

Russell joined the Asahi Photoproducts UK team in February, and his appointment follows that of Anthony Miltiadou and Alex Downes.

Dr David Galton, Asahi Photoproducts UK director, said: ‘This appointment adds yet another platemaking expert to the team and reflects Asahi Photoproducts UK’s continuing commitment to the AQUA service solution that was launched in summer 2014.’

AQUA is an acronym for the Asahi Quality Universal Assurance program. As part of the program, Asahi engineers work in close cooperation with printers on-site collecting valuable print characteristic data through quality audits which enables the AQUA service team to ensure optimum plate performance and stability, as well as effective maintenance of the equipment.

‘The Aqua service offer ensures that customers receive timely and unrivalled technical support and demonstrates the determination of Asahi to go the extra mile,’ Galton explained.
