"Mr. Shibata?s background and credentials will help lead Fujifilm to develop advanced storage technologies that our customers and their markets demand, in particular the commercialization of a unique tape coating process incorporating finer barium ferrite magnetic particles,? noted Mr. Toru Takahashi, General Manager of Corporate Planning Headquarters, FUJIFILM Corporation and President and CEO of FUJIFILM Recording Media U.S.A., Inc.

FUJIFILM HOSTS DIGITAL PRINTING WORKSHOP FOR PHOTO SPECIALTY COMPANIES

Participants Learn 5 ?Ps? of Printing Success

?With this workshop, our goal was to educate our customers and prospective customers on the business of digital printing in the photo specialty printing market,? said David Murray, national sales manager, Photo Specialty Printing, Imaging Division, Fujifilm U.S.A., Inc. ?We feel that the best way to tell the story is to show what products the equipment can produce, how to produce those products, and then how to market and sell those products to existing and new customers.?

The seminar was punctuated with the theme of the Five ?Ps of Success? as they relate to digital printing: Positioning (creating a perception or desired image of your products and services in the minds of your customers); Products (Xerox DocuColor 242 and Xerox Phaser 7760, paper and specialty media, binding equipment); Pricing (how to price your digital printing products and services in today?s market); Promotion (how to promote your new products and services); and Partnerships (what companies can you work with to make your new business opportunity successful).

"This meeting was really helpful for me as an independent photo specialty business owner,? said Barbara Tucker of Andrew?s Cameras in Virginia, MN. "I learned a lot from Fujifilm about not only how to make these new specialty products, but also about promoting them to my customers. I was most impressed by actually seeing how the products are made, and how easily I can apply what I've learned to grow my business."

FUJIFILM U.S.A., INC. TO INCREASE PRICES FOR PHOTOGRAPHIC PAPERS AND OTHER PHOTOSENSITIVE PRODUCTS

Domestic Price Adjustments Reflect International Price Increase

FUJIFILM U.S.A., Inc. today announced that it will adopt a price increase on its range of photographic papers, chemistry and other photosensitive products in the U.S. This decision follows the recent announcement from FUJIFILM Corporation that effective July, 2008, prices of its photographic papers and other photosensitive products will increase by 10-20%. Fujifilm?s pricing in the U.S. market will track with this adjustment.

Globally, Fujifilm has undertaken intensive structural reforms to reduce fixed costs and improve productivity. The company has continued to absorb increasing costs associated with raw materials used in the manufacture of films and papers in recent years. However, soaring costs of raw materials, such as, silver and crude oil have made it impossible for Fujifilm to continue to absorb these costs in its manufacturing process.

Fujifilm Reduces Price of Z100fd to $199.95, Effective May 11

Fujifilm reduces the price of the FinePix Z100fd digital camera to $199.95, effective May 11th.

From its powerful 5X zoom, unique ?diagonal slide? lens cover and illuminated ?Z? logo, to its eye-catching color combinations, the FinePix Z100fd sets a new standard in sophistication.
