Aniken Graphics, a joint venture between Hamillroad Software, a UK based prepress software company, and Apex International, a global leader of anilox and metering products, has today announced that Precision Printing Plates Ltd (PPP), is one of two approved trade shops for Bellissima DMS in the UK market.

Nick Harvey, managing director of Aniken Graphics International, said, 'We're very pleased to have Precision Printing Plates Ltd. on board. We have aligned ourselves with trade shops who are committed to providing their customers, brands, and converters with the very best flexo technologies.'

Precision Printing Plates Ltd. (PPP) is one of Europe’s leading providers of pre-press solutions, photopolymer plates and ITR sleeves. As a family-owned and run business for nearly 60 years, where the third generation of the family are now learning the business from the ground up, PPP prides itself on its forward-thinking and innovative approach when providing services to clients that include some of the largest and most prominent flexible packaging printers, brands, and retailers throughout the world.

The Manchester-based company currently employs over 60 staff, all of whom are dedicated to providing excellence in every aspect of their role, which currently range from design, through repro, to the highest quality conventional, HD and Ultra HD plates and sleeves, and every member of the team has played their part in offering the complete range of services ‘under one roof’.

PPP’s reputation for outstanding quality continues to grow with the addition of Bellissima DMS, putting them at the top of the list for the very best in flexographic prepress solutions.

“We have always considered ourselves innovators in our field and we're very enthusiastic about the partnership. The Bellissima technology will be a powerful tool that we can use to deliver continuous precision and quality” commented Craig Swift, Chairman at Precision Printing Plates Ltd.

Precision Printing Plates Ltd. is among a handful of trade shops who are involved in the Phase One roll-out of Bellissima DMS.

"To maximize everyone's success, Phase One sales of Bellissima DMS involve the use of Apex GTT aniloxes, and MacDermid or DuPont plates. We know that this proven technology solution works 'out of the box.'” Harvey concludes.
