Supported by global demands for a more advanced printing system for the past two decades, substantial numbers of waterless printers are already abundant in Japan and Europe. Also backed by increasing demands for more environmentally friendly printing, a steadily growing number of printers are switching to waterless printing.
IWPA currently has chapters in Japan and Europe. Japan Waterless Printing Association (JWPA) is a 200-member organization, and European Waterless Printing Association (EWPA) is headquartered in Germany.
