The reported benefits of this integration in- clude improved operational efficiency, reduced time to market, and enhanced capability to pro- duce complex designs with ease. Furthermore, the collaboration is designed to support both large-scale manufacturers and mid-sized com- panies, ensuring that businesses of all sizes can benefit from the advanced technological solu- tions offered by Aicomp and Esko.
CLOUDFLOW is reportedly a highly configurable solution that pro- vides fast and effective automation of prepress tasks for more than 1,000 customers worldwide. Hamillroad’s Bellissima DMS screening solution for flexography has been widely adopted by major brands, trade shops, and converters. The partnership between Hybrid Software and Hamillroad com- bines these advanced technologies to offer an enhanced solution, ac- cording to the companies.

Users will also have access to Bellissima’s “ACE” surface patterning and Intelligent Flexo. There is also full integration with all CLOUDFLOW modules, including Pierre Hammond, Commercial Director for Hamillroad (left), and Mike Rottenborn, Hybrid Software CEO.
