Waku-Waku Print Expo 2025 Prologue
Connect, Create, Enjoy: Print & Creators EXPO
Seminar / Printing Lab

The “Aichi Prefecture Printing Industry Association Creator Collaboration Project” is a project in which the printing industry and creators in the Tokai area collaborate to develop, announce, and sell new products and services. Aiming to develop products that sell by combining the printing and processing technology and know-how of member companies of the Aichi Printing Industry Association with the creativity and design capabilities of creators, the developed products will be sold at an event for general consumers (Marche, Hoshigaoka Terrace / October 18, 19, 2025).

In preparation for the implementation of the project, there will be a technical seminar on the theme of generative AI and hands-on production experience (T-shirt production utilizing printing characteristics, making a ring-binding notebook with your favorite paper as the cover) will be held. At the same venue, there will also be an exhibition of products developed by 43 creators and 26 companies of Waku-Waku Print Expo 2024 (January 31 13:00-18:00, February 1 13:00-14:30).
