    Hamillroad announces strategic partnership with Asahi Photoproducts to take Bellissima DMS & Asahi AWP™ CleanPrint water-wash flexo plates to market

    Press Release – 01.09.2023

    International prepress company Hamillroad Software announced a new partnership today with Asahi Photoproducts, a leading pioneer in the development of photopolymer flexo printing plates.

    The partnership is set to satisfy growing global demand from brand owners, trade shops, printers and converters for a more environmentally friendly ‘water-wash’ plate making process that delivers best-in-class image reproduction.

    Andy Cave, Hamillroad’s CEO said: “Hamillroad are delighted to announce our strategic partnership with Asahi Photoproducts. We were thrilled to discover how closely aligned our strategies for the future of flexo were when we first engaged, and we’re excited to see how our partnership can support the industry in the move towards a more sustainable manufacturing process with fixed palette CMYK and ECG printing.”

    Brand owners are looking to reduce their carbon footprint and are taking a closer look at production practices including the reduction of harmful solvents and greenhouse gases. The combination of Asahi’s move to ‘Solvent Zero’, and Bellissima’s ability to enable fixed palette CMYK and ECG printing, offers the flexo market a strategic opportunity to drive down the consumption of harmful solvents and greenhouse gasses whilst driving efficiencies by accelerating the production process. Sustainability benefits can be achieved through the elimination of press wash ups when switching to a standardized ink set and replacing the use of solvent with water in the platemaking process.

    Jane Petrucci, Hamillroad’s Head of Marketing said: “The first step in our partnership was to evaluate the Asahi AWP™ CleanPrint water-wash plate for narrow web use with Bellissima DMS and we are thrilled with the results! Hamillroad’s stringent and thorough plate qualification process demonstrated the Asahi plate to be of the highest quality, and in complete synergy with our aim to provide innovative flexo solutions to reduce waste and environmental impact. We anticipate significant interest from brand owners, trade-shops, printers and converters looking to align their packaging production processes with greener, more efficient and lean manufacturing practises.”

    For more information about the new partnership opportunities, head over to the Asahi Photoproducts stand 5A34 at Labelexpo2023 in September, where Asahi and Hamillroad representatives will be on hand to answer questions and talk about the benefits of the combined technologies. You can also visit Hamillroad Software and their European Bellissima Trade Shops on Stand 11B25/Hall 11.

    FGS won the awards at the ATEF (Technical Association of Flexography) Gala Awards ceremony in Barcelona this month, as innovators in flexo came together to recognise ‘Best in Class’ print and packaging. The six prestigious awards covered multiple categories, including First Prize and ‘Best in Show’ for flexible packaging and film. FGS scooped this coveted award with Florbu’s ‘Wafer Mix’, printed by Graficas Llinars. Other winning power brands included FRIT Ravich, Agua de Cuevas and Carrefour.

    Joan Rodriguez, Technical Director of FGS, said: “Once we started evaluating the Bellissima DMS technology and seeing the results on the press, we knew we were working with something really special, and today Bellissima has been recognised as a true superstar in the flexo industry. We look forward to introducing more brands to Bellissima to realise the same outstanding results.”

    FGS’s adoption of Bellissima DMS has proven to be a game changer for the flexographic printing market in Spain, with more brands and printers moving away from gravure to flexo using Bellissima’s revolutionary screening technology. Brands recognise Bellissima as a powerful upgrade to connect with consumers on the shelf and differentiate in a competitive market.

    Pierre Hammond, Hamillroad’s Commercial Director, adds: “Our partnership with FGS goes from strength to strength, and I congratulate them on their well-deserved success, together with thanking their customers for believing in the use of our Bellissima DMS prepress software to help deliver superior print results.

    CAMBRIDGE, UNITED KINGDOM – UK prepress solutions company Hamillroad Software is excited to announce its move to a new office space in Cambridge’s centre.

    Hamillroad has moved its offices into a new vibrant location that matches its ambitious growth plans.

    The office near the River Cam provides an attractive Cambridge location for UK-based staff members to work and customers to visit. The open-plan space allows for print analysis, additional space for the growing customer support and development teams, and an inviting work environment to attract top talent from Silicon Fen.

    Boasting a state-of-the-art Analysis room, the support and development teams have access to the latest technology to assist customers in addressing the most complex print challenges.

    “Customer support is key to the success of any technology,” comments Andy Cave, CEO.

    “We’ve invested in a location that is appealing to highly-skilled and talented people and has the space to accommodate our planned growth in staff numbers. Like many businesses, we have spent the best part of the past two years working from home, and in that time, we’ve taken on new hires. While we’ve managed online, getting back to an office environment has allowed us to interact better than possible over Zoom or Teams. This is important as we take on additional team members to share knowledge and ideas effectively. The new space allows for collaboration and creativity in a manner that’s not possible otherwise,” concludes Cave.

    Established in 2002, Hamillroad Software specializes in award-winning Digitally Modulated Screening, technology for Lithographic printing (Auraia DMS), and Flexographic printing (Bellissima DMS).

    CAMBRIDGE, UNITED KINGDOM – UK-based prepress company Hamillroad Software has today announced the appointment of Hans Hjort as Senior Application Specialist.

    With over 20 years of industry experience, Hans Hjort, based in Sweden, started his career as a prepress operator at Miller Graphics Scandinavia and has enjoyed success in a range of senior roles across the years. Hans has worked as Technical Manager for Marvaco and, more recently, as a freelance consultant specializing in prepress, automation, and color management.

    At Hamillroad, Hans will oversee workflow integrations and software implementations. With a wealth of experience in color management and Expanded Color Gamut (ECG) implementation, Hans will utilize his prepress expertise to provide customers with additional training and enhanced support.

From day one, we work with customers to understand their needs and support their business goals. We strive to give an excellent level of service, something we feel is paramount to our success.”

    “Our people are highly skilled and experienced in all areas of customer care, from initial project management to system installation and deployment, underpinned throughout by ongoing technical and commercial support.”

    “I am confident Hans will be a great asset to the team; he brings a wealth of industry knowledge and prepress experience, which will enhance the support we can offer.”

    Hans commented on his new role: “I am delighted to be joining Hamillroad. The opportunity to collaborate with the team and learn more about the technology, especially Bellissima, a product I have admired for some time, is something I am very excited about. In addition, the opportunity to work closely with Hamillroad’s customers to further their growth and success is something I am relishing.”

    2021 was another successful year of growth for Hamillroad, with a significant increase in customers and technology usage, which will lead to additional staff roles announced later this year.
