FUJIFILM Business Innovation Asia Pacific Congratulates 31 Winners on the Global Innovation Print Awards 2024

May 23, 2024

SINGAPORE, May 23, 2024 – FUJIFILM Business Innovation Asia Pacific announced today the winners of the Global Innovation Print Awards (GIPA) 2024. Heartfelt congratulations to 31 winners from eight countries for their amazing entries.

With Innovation Print Awards (IPA) extending global submissions this year, FUJIFILM Business Innovation Asia Pacific received an astounding number of 179 submissions from 16 countries in the Asia Pacific, Germany, India, Sweden, United Kingdom and the Netherlands.

This year’s design entries were unorthodox, illustrating a clever fusion of various applications, technology and colours, especially on the use of specialty colours. The extra cost and effort incurred from using specialty colours were often barriers to design decisions. But with the advancement of production technologies, ease of use and wide availability of specialty colours, these unique colours have become integral with designs decisions, especially for digital printing.

“The landscape of printing is undergoing a transformative shift, with digital print emerging as a powerhouse of innovation,” said Paul Callaghan^*1, Independent Judge, 2024 Global Innovation Print Award. “The Global Innovation Print Award (GIPA) bore witness to the ascendancy of digital printing, where once perceived limitations have been shattered, and new frontiers of creativity have been unlocked. From stunning special colours to awe-inspiring designs and applications, digital print has not only closed the gap with conventional methods but has emerged as a trailblazer in its own right.”

"It is great to witness how our valued customers and the wider market are increasingly adopting progressive technologies into their applications, enabling win-win scenarios for our customers, and ultimately their end customers," said Hiroshi Kida, Corporate Vice President, Executive General Manager, Graphic Communication Division, FUJIFILM Business Innovation Corp. “Fujifilm as an industry leader in toner and inkjet, is committed to creating an integrated approach for our customers which will result in a printing experience tailored to the needs of the market. For example, through continuous R&D, we are now able to offer unique colours to our customers easily and readily. Making specialty colours accessible to all, enabling next level applications are no longer a luxury, but a prerequisite for growth.”
