smooth flat tints and moiré free prints. Vignettes fade smoothly to nothing enabled by printed highlight
dots as low as 1.0% and shadow dots up to 99.5%.
Working optimally at 4,000 dpi, the patented screening includes features such as 100% solid surface
patterning options and solid object protection. Common printing press issues such as bounce, barring and
slur are all reduced significantly and in some cases eliminated. Bellissima DMS also delivers on ink
savings, which can be augmented by GCR based software, improves the efficiency of the press room, and
utilizes existing printing press equipment.
Phase One sales of Bellissima DMS includes trade shops, converters and flexographic printers currently
using Apex GTT anilox rolls and sleeves together with MacDermid Graphics Solutions' LUX® ITP™ 60
or DuPont's EFX plates.
