About Afit
Afit Corporation was founded in October 1992 as a private venture technology company. "Afit" is an acronym of Advanced Future Image Technology.
Our mission is to develop the state-of-the-art printing technology such as electrophotographic , inkjet and thermal printing and materials based on our unique way of thinking.
We set the super high print-quality laser print engine technology which will lead to the next generation printer as our target.
We are constantly searching the way to stretch the limit of electrophotography and the key to the progress.
As an image formation technology
Electrophotography technology
Inkjet technology,thermal rewrite technology, and optical forming technology
It drinks and it extends to development.
In addition, we are expanding image forming technologies into inkjet technology, thermal rewritable technology and Pligraphy TM.
Afit is a technical entity of expert engineers. Based on the long experience with low speed and small machine to high speed large scale laser / LED printer development and design, our operation is from planning and design to developmental production.
Our activity location includes Kyoto Laboratory to research and develop new functional materials and basic element in Kyoto,
Japan and sales/marketing office in Nashville, Tennessee
Business form
Afit Corporation can handle multiple complex large projects from product development planning to manufacturing through group of technology experts, engineers, affiliated engineers and advisors, collaborating companies with well established expertise.

Research and Development
The research and development turned to an industrial application of the high-resolution printer is done. The theme etc. of many fields like the research of the high-resolution evaluation and digital exposure body, the toner development technology, the development of multifunctional ink, the research of a thermal head, and the image processing technology and the encryption technology, etc. are executed in the electrophotography technology.
Even the trust design development to accompany and the manufacturing trust are ..series of operations.. coordinated with a close cooperation enterprise group until the customer's demanding from a basic, technological development.
Results
Results are piled up in a wide field such as various trust development printers, developments of the in-house product, inkjet printers, and rewriting thermal printers.
Conference Presentation
