WEBWIRE

Valhalla, N.Y., December 14, 2010 – FUJIFILM North America Corporation today announced that it will implement price increases for its silver halide photographic paper and print materials in the U.S. beginning in early 2011 due to rising costs in raw materials. Prices for photographic paper will increase by approximately 10% depending on individual products.

This decision follows the recent announcement from FUJIFILM Corporation that effective early 2011, prices of its photographic paper will increase by 5-20% worldwide. The recent marked rise in the prices of silver, petroleum products, wood pulp and transportation has driven up production costs globally.
