FUJIFILM PHOTO PRINTING SUMMIT 2023

Power of the Past. Force of the Future. FUJIFILM PHOTO PRINTING SUMMIT 2023

The Fujifilm Photo Printing Summit 2023 recently took place at The LocHal in Tilburg, and it was a momentous occasion for the photographic industry. Invited guests from all over the world attended this exclusive event to discuss the future of photographic paper and printing.

As a company with 40 years of experience in photographic paper production, Fujifilm in Tilburg stands on a solid foundation for the future. During the summit, suppliers, partners, and customers were taken through market trends, our silver halide technology, and shared environmental challenges. Expert panels discussed the issues, and impressive presentations, live demonstrations, and interesting speakers were on the agenda for both days.

On the second day, attendees had the privilege of touring the photographic paper plant on the Fujifilm production site in Tilburg. It was an incredible opportunity to witness firsthand the process behind Fujifilm’s innovative and sustainable production methods.

Despite the ever-changing technology landscape, Fujifilm photographic paper proves to be alive and kicking. Fujifilm continues to invest in the photographic industry and innovate for the most sustainable production, leading the way towards a healthier world.

The Fujifilm Photo Printing Summit 2023 was a true celebration of the “Power of the Past” and the “Force of the Future” for the photographic industry. As Fujifilm continues to push the boundaries of innovation and sustainability, we can’t wait to see what the future holds for the world of photography and printing.

Never Stop Printing

Printing never stops but unusual times require extraordinary approaches. FUJIFILM supports its partners in the local onsite printing business. Spread the news, let your customer know you are still open to receive orders. Engage on social platforms. Be creative. Join the community. #letthemknow #neverstopprinting

In these difficult times, many of us are looking for ways to help out our friends and neighbors who own and work in small businesses. We can’t forget the local photo retailers whom we’ve relied on to print our most cherished memories over the years. A lot of these shops are closed to customers during lockdown, their printers sitting idle. It doesn’t have to be this way.

We still need our photos printed, now more than ever. What better way to cope with the isolation that lockdown can bring than to share our lives with the people we care about?

We want to send postcards to friends to tell them how we’re doing. We want to make scrapbooks to relive our old memories, and hold onto the new ones that we’re making in these times. We want to break out of our boredom and have fun with prints on social media, sharing laughs and camaraderie with friends around the world because we’re all in this together. And please, give us something nice to hang on our walls, because we’re staring at them more than ever now.

These unusual times require extraordinary approaches. As a photo retailer, you can’t just wait for people to walk through your door. You must go to them. But how can you do this when the entire landscape has shifted so radically?

People can still send their images to you so that they can be printed. You don’t need a dedicated system to make things work in this new, thankfully temporary age. You can use email, SMS, or WhatsApp to transfer photos. Just figure out the payment option that works best for you and your customers, whether it’s bank transfers, PayPal, or something else. Then you can mail prints back to your friends and neighbors at home. Let them hold their memories and support you as a local business.

Your friends at Fujifilm want to help you, too. Let’s all work together as a community to remind the world that photo printing is both needed and available. Hundreds of thousands of people are already showing their support for their local businesses through social media and hashtags. Join them.

By Louise Dickens

I, like many others, saw in the new year surrounded by friends, slurring the words to Auld Lang Syne and drunkenly calling my parents to shout ‘Happy New Year’ down the phone (it’s sort of a tradition).

The next morning I woke up and scrolled through the photos of the night before. Half of my friends had already uploaded theirs on to Facebook, and I smiled (and cringed) as I Continue reading “My New Year resolution: Print more photographs”
