After working together to establish a solid relationship over the last 10 years, GFI Innovations and Fujifilm North America Corporation, Graphic Systems Division, have announced a continuation of their preferred dealer agreement. The arrangement furthers their strategic relationship regarding offset inks in Canada and the U.S. while reinforcing GFI’s commitment to its dealer network. One of the largest distributors of graphic systems products to the graphic communications industry, Fuji Graphic Systems Division delivers complete multiple solutions including (but not limited to) workflow, colour standards and G7 implementation, pressroom products and more. The company also manufactures and distributes Sericol inks, and is a leader in the development of UV inks for the screen printing, narrow-web and large-format digital printing industries.
“Fujifilm’s preferred dealer status with GFI Innovations gives us the opportunity to offer offset printers state-of-the-art pressroom solutions with the on-going support of GFI,” said Curt Carby, Business Development Manager, CTP and Pressroom Products for Fujifilm North America Corporation, Graphic Systems Division. “With GFI’s AccuBlend on-demand spot colour dispensing system, customers can realize considerable cost savings along with a potential decrease in existing inventory.”
GFI’s AccuBlend-HV Ink Dispensing System for offset litho inks provides just-in-time spot colour while improving control over the process, schedules and workflow of ink dispensing for commercial and packaging printers. New Colorbook software drives the system, making navigation, tracking of lot numbers and batch colour correction easier to maintain – especially when working-off inks. The system’s EcoFlow cartridges are equipped with a molded-in, cut-off valve for quick, clean and accurate dispensing. “We have enjoyed a fabulous relationship with Fujifilm since 2005. I’m sure some people remember the coast-to-coast road tour our companies combined to do back in 2008 and 2009,” recalled John Borkovec, GFI’s VP of Sales and Marketing. “We’re very pleased with this preferred agreement and look forward to continued success with Fujifilm.”
GFI Innovations is a leading provider of precision formulation dispensing solutions. GFI systems help printers position themselves better with their brand-owning customers while helping them save time and money by solving problems associated with delivering spot colour inks to press. Its systems automate dispensing, mixing, proofing and other common day-to-day pressroom tasks.
