E Ink and FUJIFILM Imaging Systems Partner to Expand Large-Format Color ePaper Signage

Collaboration will initially focus on signage applications for Japan's railway industry

BILLERICA, Mass., Oct. 21, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- E Ink, a pioneer and leading global developer of ePaper technology, today announced a partnership with FUJIFILM Imaging Systems Co., Ltd. to establish a large-format color ePaper signage business, initially targeting the railway sector. Upon successful completion of prototype assessments, the companies will begin introducing select sizes in 2027.

ePaper is increasingly turned to as an alternative display medium in the railway industry, especially due to labor shortages and the rising costs associated with printing, transporting, installing, and disposing of traditional paper posters.

E Ink and Fujifilm Imaging Systems will combine E Ink's ePaper technology with Fujifilm Imaging Systems' established railway-sector business foundation, implementation capabilities, and operational expertise. Together, the companies plan to provide end-to-end support for large-format color ePaper signage, spanning customer proposals, installation, and ongoing operation.

The details regarding the full-color ePaper sizes and release dates are as follows:

• 55-inch E Ink Marquee
  • Prototype Release: December 2026
  • Mass-Production Release: March 2027
• B1-size E Ink Marquee
  • Prototype Release: October 2027
  • Mass-Production Release: January 2028

"We see significant opportunity for E Ink's ePaper to replace traditional print posters in Japan's transportation industry, particularly as our large-format and color capabilities continue to advance," said JM Hung, President of E Ink Holdings. "With the visibility of print and the flexibility of digital updates, ePaper helps organizations streamline content changes, reduce printing and material waste, and deliver timely information using very little power."

"Fujifilm Imaging Systems' expertise in imaging, printing, color management, and quality control strongly complements E Ink's pioneering leadership in ePaper technology," said Takashi Toyofuku, Director at FUJIFILM Imaging Systems. "By bringing together these capabilities and our established customer relationships, we are well positioned to accelerate the adoption of large-format ePaper—beginning with railway advertising and signage and expanding over time into other industries throughout Japan."
