SCHAUMBURG, Ill. – FUJIFILM North America Corporation, Business Innovation Division, announces the introduction of its ALIGN program, a consulting-based print excellence program that combines decades of Fujifilm print expertise with a structured, on-site process to help print businesses achieve consistent, repeatable color across presses (of various brands), operators, shifts, devices, and production environments.
“The Fujifilm ALIGN program leverages decades of Fujifilm’s print expertise to help print service providers achieve predictable color results and consistent pressroom performance,” said Anthony Aquino, vice president, Sales, FUJIFILM North America Corporation, FUJIFILM North America Corporation, Business Innovation Division. “Most printshops do not struggle with knowledge or effort; they struggle with variability across presses, substrates, shifts, workflows, and locations. Our ALIGN program is designed to solve that problem, creating harmony among all the pieces and parts of the production process, to achieve the best possible results – every time.”
How ALIGN Works
Every ALIGN engagement follows a structured process – a professional Fujifilm ALIGN expert completes a 5 step process of discovery, assessment, and recommendations, implementation and training. The result is a practical roadmap for reducing color variability, improving production consistency, lowering hidden costs, and giving customers greater confidence in the printed result.
ALIGN supports a wide range of operations, including conventional offset, digital production, proofing, flexographic, and mixed-technology environments (depending on the selected package), as well as roll-fed and sheetfed workflows and both four-color and extended-gamut production.
The program is built for printers that still face color drift, rework, waste, slow approvals, or customer concerns even after their equipment has been calibrated.
“Fujifilm brings decades of production workflow and process-control experience across conventional, digital, inkjet, toner, flexographic, and proofing environments, plus direct expertise in G7, GRACoL, SWOP, FOGRA, CRPC, and custom color targets,” said Aquino. “That breadth is why ALIGN Premium, for example, can qualify a full production system to G7 Master Printer standards in the same engagement that stabilizes press conditions, consumables, and proofing, instead of treating qualification as a separate project bolted on afterward.”
Brand Neutral by Design
ALIGN is brand-neutral by design, working across Fujifilm and non-Fujifilm equipment in conventional offset, digital production, proofing, and mixed-technology environments. Rather than focusing solely on software or certification, the program addresses the full production system – workflow, process control, consumables, measurement practices, operator training, and ongoing improvement.
Variety of Package Options
ALIGN is available in multiple packages, ranging from single-device color matching to full production system standardization, allowing customers to select the level of support that best fits their operation and business needs.
