The meeting will take place on Tuesday 2nd April 2019 at 6:00 pm, at Fuji Xerox Australia,1-3 Shirley Street, Rosehill.
“Please join in this plant visit to see how one company is finding better ways and systems to achieve the reduction in consumption of raw materials and the creation of waste,” says the LIA NSW.
“In this current climate the appetite for finding ways to reduce our impact on the planet is gaining momentum. It seems we are being spurred on by mixture of media personalities "'declaring war on waste" with the call for the reduction of single use plastics and alike. It appears that we as an industry are also being charged with finding better ways and systems to achieve the reduction in consumption of raw materials and the creation of waste.
“As it happens in our industry, we have one such example in Fuji Xerox Australia, who have developed some compelling initiatives involving sustainability, recycling, energy consumption and giving back to the environment.
“The good news is that they have offered to throw open their doors to the LIA and share these significant initiatives with the wider graphic arts community and as such, will host a plant tour and show the various processes that go into a closed loop system for keeping their customers going with minimal environmental impact.”
The tour will conclude with a dinner and a networking opportunity at the Rosehill Bowling Club, during which time attendees will have the chance to hear an overview of the process, which will be followed by a Q&A session.

The Lithographic Institute of Australia is dedicated to the dissemination of technical information to its members and to the Printing and Graphic Communication Industries. It is focussed on the elevation of print quality as part of the answer to competing in an increasingly global market place. The LIA’s membership is predominately individually based and voluntary in nature, it operates in each of the mainland states.
Formed in 1963, it began life in Sydney as the Australian Litho Club and was modelled on the successful litho clubs of the USA. The Australian Litho Club flourished and divisions were formed in the other four mainland states. The first Convention of the Australian Litho Clubs was organised by the NSW division and held in Katoomba in September 1971. At that meeting, it was agreed that a similar event would be held every two years and be hosted by each state in rotation. At the 1973 Conference in Geelong, Victoria, it was announced that all states had agreed to form a federation. At this meeting it was resolved that the name of the organisation be changed to the Lithographic Institute of Australia.
With the support of long term partner Heidelberg ANZ, the LIA conducts annual Graduate of the Year Awards in each State, culminating every two years at the Biennial Conference with the presentation of the $15,000.00 GAMAA – LIA National Graduate Scholarship Prize and The LIA – Printing Industries Future Leaders Award.
The Lithographic Institute of Australia Limited has no political or industrial affiliations or aspirations. It is an incorporated not for profit corporation, limited by guarantee and not having share capital.
