FUJIFILM North America Corporation, Graphic Communication Division, today announces that it is expanding its long existing relationship with the Americas Printing Association Network (APAN) with a new “Member Buying Power Program”.

APAN represents over 4,100 commercial print companies and commercial print suppliers across the United States through its network of 14 independent, not-for-profit trade associations which are: PINE, PGCA, PICA, PIAG, FGA, GLGA, GMA, PIAS, PIAMidAmerica, PIM, PMA, PIA, VMA and PIASD. As part of the “Buying Power Program,” which launched on February 1, 2025, APAN Partner members can obtain the following Fujifilm print solutions at preferred rates:

• Entry, Mid & Production Print Digital Solutions (REVORIA PRESS™ SC180, EC1100, PC1120, PC1120S & E1 Production Mono Series)

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.”
