Fujifilm Graphic Systems U.S.A., Inc. was recently granted a patent from the United States Patent and Trademark Office for its development of the technology used in Taskero Universe, the system and method for remotely monitoring and servicing a print system. Fujifilm received patent number US 7,528,981 B2 for Taskero Universe, a process-based business solution designed to help printers operate more efficiently, reduce waste, and increase profitability.

In doing so, we're helping printers improve their processes and become more efficient.”
