Fujifilm wins RadTech award

Fujifilm has been awarded the RadTech Europe Innovation Award 2025 for its Aquafuze technology.

The award was presented during the RadTech Europe Conference & Exhibition 2025 in Warsaw, within the plenary session of the RTE Conference, which brought together the entire value chain of UV/EB energy curing technologies, from raw material suppliers to brand owners, under one roof.

Aquafuze was recognized for its innovative chemistry and its ability to merge the strengths of water-based and UV-curable inkjet systems. The technology introduces a unique UV-curable emulsion that achieves high image quality, strong adhesion, reliable performance and enhanced sustainability, all while curing at low temperatures with LED UV lamps. Following a decade of R&D, Aquafuze allows ink to adhere effectively without primers, maintaining stability over extended periods while producing low-odor, non-hazardous prints.

The RadTech Europe Innovation Award highlights companies that are redefining what is possible with energy-curing technologies. This latest achievement further reinforces Fujifilm's dedication to advancing sustainable inkjet offerings and addressing the evolving requirements of the print industry.

'Aquafuze represents a new category of wide format inkjet technology. By rethinking ink formulation from the ground up, we've created a product that responds directly to what print service providers have been asking for. It offers durability, flexibility, sustainability and safety without compromise. Winning the RadTech Europe Innovation Award is a significant recognition for our team and a strong validation of the work we have done to push the boundaries of inkjet chemistry. It demonstrates that Aquafuze is not only a technical breakthrough, but a meaningful step forward for the future of sustainable, high-performance print,' commented Shota Suzuki, lead developer of Aquafuze.
