Poster-size color e-paper from [E Ink](https://www.eink.com/?ref=asia-tech-news.ghost.io) (元太科技) now has production dates, and a sales partner that already works with Japanese rail customers. In an [Oct. 21 release](https://tw.eink.com/news/detail/VBRQZH5TRE?ref=asia-tech-news.ghost.io), the Taiwanese company said samples of a 55-inch E Ink Marquee, its outdoor color e-paper, are due in December 2026, with mass production from March 2027\. B1 poster-size versions are to follow, with mass production from January 2028\. When E Ink first showed Marquee in April 2025, [TechNews (科技新報) reported](https://technews.tw/2025/04/07/e-ink-introduces-e-ink-marquee/?ref=asia-tech-news.ghost.io) that the product was still in development.

The seller is [Fujifilm Imaging Systems](https://www.fujifilm.com/ffis/ja?ref=asia-tech-news.ghost.io) (富士フイルムイメージングシステムズ), the Tokyo company that sells Fujifilm's imaging products in Japan. It brings its rail customers and its installation and operating know-how, and the two will handle everything from sales pitches to installation and operation together, starting with Japan's railways, they said. 

In [its own release](https://www.fujifilm.com/ffis/ja/news/199?ref=asia-tech-news.ghost.io), Fujifilm Imaging Systems said it has long supplied rail ads, station signs and timetable displays. Screens aren't new to it. Ten of its [digital bus-stop signs](https://www.fujifilm.com/ffis/ja/news/189?ref=asia-tech-news.ghost.io), with 55-inch outdoor screens, were set to start running at Tokyo's Chofu station plaza in April 2026.

Neither company names a railway customer, volumes or prices. The two said they are still evaluating products and expect to roll them out in stages next year. Their pitch: Japan's railways are short of workers, and printing, shipping and posting paper posters costs ever more. E Ink posters, they say, make updates faster and more flexible.

Marquee uses cyan, magenta, yellow and white pigments, and [E Ink says](https://www.eink.com/brand/detail/Marquee?ref=asia-tech-news.ghost.io) it works from -20°C to 65°C (about -4°F to 149°F). It takes 5 to 7 seconds to change its image, TechNews reported in April 2025.

E Ink is already testing a different color e-paper at Tokyo Station. JR Tokai Agency (JR東海エージェンシー), an advertising company in the JR Central group, is trying out three signs using E Ink's Spectra 6 e-paper there, in a [pilot that runs through March 2027](https://www.eink.com/news/detail/E-Ink-Announces-ePaper-Signage-Pilot-with-JR-Tokai-Agency?ref=asia-tech-news.ghost.io). If it meets its goals, the agency plans to speed up its consideration of e-paper signs across stations, E Ink said.
