The IPA 2026 Global brings together owners of FUJIFILM-branded production presses from around the world, fostering a vibrant community of innovators who are pushing the boundaries of digital print. This year’s winners leveraged FUJIFILM Business Innovation’s advanced toner and inkjet technologies, including the Revoria Press series, Jet Press series, and Acuity series, to deliver standout applications and expand their product offerings. The competition showcased the growing adoption of specialty colors, as press owners moved beyond traditional CMYK to create visually striking outputs.

“This year we saw a major increase in the entries coming from around the world. It’s great to see that quality is a global goal for the companies that entered in this year’s competition,” said Paul Callaghan, head judge of the IPA 2026 Global. “Regardless of where they are from, all the winners take pride in the work they produce. It was a hard-fought competition, and our congratulations go to all this year’s winners.”

Callaghan continued, “We’re now seeing more and more printers around the world embracing not only specialty toners, but also a wide range of embellishment and finishing techniques. They are using these technologies to create work that is more distinctive, engaging, and impactful. Printing today is a technology. It’s an art. Technology has driven our industry to new heights, and with digital printing continuing to sustain and transform the industry, it will only continue to grow.”

The winning entries and other submitted works are scheduled to be exhibited at events and showrooms across participating countries and regions.
