Multimedia: A<br />
Driving Force for<br />
Future Growth<br />
As a leader in the printing industry,<br />
Toppan began working with<br />
technology for digitizing text and<br />
graphics at an early stage. In the<br />
1970s, we became the first company<br />
in Japan to develop a computerized<br />
typesetting system (CTS),<br />
and we subsequently developed<br />
a system for graphics digitization.<br />
Toppan moved quickly to meet<br />
emerging needs for the digitization<br />
of printing, such as DTP. To<br />
accelerate the development of our<br />
ability to meet multimedia-related<br />
needs, we have started various<br />
new multimedia businesses and<br />
entered into tie-ups with leading<br />
multimedia companies.
