Additionally, as part of this expanded relationship, Fujifilm will now provide the presence of its subject matter experts at various APAN educational events throughout 2025 on key industry topics such as color management, workflow, and offset migration to digital print. In keeping with this educational initiative, both organizations have started exploring the possibility in developing programs for high-school and college students interested in learning and entering the print industry. Fujifilm has offered to potentially sponsor and support internships of young adults affiliated with APAN.
“At Fujifilm, we’re committed to supporting the success of the Graphic Communications industry,” said Hidetoshi “Toshi” Kino, general manager, FUJIFILM North America Corporation, Graphic Communication Division. “Our partnership with APAN underscores our dedication to helping print service providers of all sizes thrive by delivering exceptional value, technology, and service. We are excited to participate in this unique program that we have co-developed with APAN, to help their members unlock new levels of efficiency and profitability.”
“APAN is dedicated to empowering print businesses across America, and this partnership with Fujifilm is a game-changer for our members,” said Melissa Jones, co-president, Print and Graphic Communications Association (PGCA), and former APAN chairperson. “As a result, many of APAN’s Association Presidents have expressed their keen interest in providing this “Buying Power Program” for their members as Fujifilm offers a wide array of solutions (including print engines and all consumables) from one single-source manufacturer. By leveraging the collective buying power of our vast network, we are providing our members with tangible savings and access to best-in-class printing solutions from one of the industry’s most respected names.”
