EFI is Taking Signage to the Age of Big Data with SmartSign Analytics Monitoring System

Today in booth #3721 at the ISA International Sign Expo in Las Vegas, EFI™ (Nasdaq:EFII), a world leader in customer-focused digital printing 
innovation, unveiled SmartSign Analytics (SSA), a system that automatically captures and analyzes signage viewership and engagement data. 
Conceived and shown as a technology demonstration by EFI’s Online Print Solutions (OPS) unit, SSA will help signage providers and retail 
marketers better measure and understand the effectiveness of their efforts.
 
“Print can drive relevance, revenue and profit in the age of big data, and this technology demonstration can show how that will happen with 
signage,” said Mark McGowan, director of EFI’s OPS products. “SSA has the potential to provide unprecedented insights on the best strategies 
and execution to drive retail sales.”
 
The eyes have it: a customer-focused view of retail signage
A single SSA unit includes a webcam attached to a sign, connected to a computer or tablet running a partner facial recognition software and 
EFI’s proprietary SSA software for data organization, analytics and reporting. In an actual retail implementation, most marketers will likely deploy 
multiple units to measure, compare and improve signage performance at different stores or at different in-store locations.
 
The SSA system’s webcam and software combination detects the presence of people within viewing range and determines which of them are 
actually viewing a sign. Eye-tracking tools on the SSA system also allow it to calculate how much time is spent viewing signage.
 
Beyond those useful metrics, the advanced SSA technology provides even more-detailed demographic information. Using advanced, proprietary 
facial pattern algorithms, the SSA system assigns a gender and age range to each viewer, providing a wealth of market-segment information that 
businesses cannot quickly or easily collect by any other means.
 
An embedded, failsafe routine in the software ensures that the SSA system discards facial pattern data on the fly, with no actual images of faces 
stored during operation.
 
SSA will enter beta testing this quarter. Visitors to EFI’s International Sign Expo booth can see an EFI SSA kiosk attached to a sign capturing and 
reporting live data.

EFI Launches New Fiery Production and Proofing Software

EFI, a world leader in customer-focused printing and packaging industry innovation, today announced the launch of Fiery® XF Version 5, a 
flexible and scalable high-speed digital front end and color management workflow for wide- to superwide-format production and proofing. Available 
now, the latest Fiery wide format software helps print service providers easily achieve precise, predictable high-quality prints while streamlining 
production workflows. This new Fiery software version also enables seamless workflow integration with VUTEk™ and EFI Wide-Format printers, as 
well as with EFI MIS/ERP systems.
 
“Advancements included in our new Fiery wide format software gives print professionals more power than ever to produce accurate, high-quality 
work quickly and reliably,” said John Henze, vice president, Fiery marketing at EFI. “The new, customizable interface makes the system easier to 
use, as it can be tailored to meet each customer’s exact production needs.”
 
Print service providers can benefit from a wide range of improvements in imaging, productivity and ease of use, including key features that offer 
greater value.

The combination of Fiery Color Profiler Suite and completely new spot color tools provide a leap forward in color quality and ease of use. 

With more than 50 new wide- to superwide-format print drivers, customers can now use Fiery workflow and color management software to 
achieve the highest quality on all their printers. 

The software’s customizable user interface allows users to tailor Fiery XF to their specific tasks and skill set to reduce error rates. 

One EFI customer, Burlington, Ontario-based Category 5, has improved its overall operations using the software’s Fiery-to-EFI MIS/ERP 
integration features.
 
“With all of the job data available at our fingertips, there is less time wasted tracking down answers,” said Greg Priede, general manager, Category 
5. “With the integration between the VUTEk printer, Fiery front end and EFI MIS system, we see detailed job costing, and can calculate how long 
the printer actually ran versus how long the press operator took to complete the job. This allows us to address inefficiencies, reduce press down 
time and increase profit.”
 
The modular nature of the software allows customers to tailor the product to their current operation, paying only for the functionality they need 
now. More than 20 Fiery printer or software options allow customers to add additional capabilities as business needs evolve and budgets allow. 
An EFI software maintenance and support agreement provides an ongoing stream of software releases, including the latest device drivers, plus all 
minor and major product upgrades.

the printing and packaging industry and understanding of our specific issues made the Radius solution an easy choice,” said Scott Anderson, 
president of Zenith Specialty Bag Company Inc.
 
The transition to an industry-focused, fully integrated business management solution promises to provide the Los Angeles County-based converter 
with the comprehensive, up-to-date information it needs to make informed, proactive changes.
 
Michael Rodriguez, IT manager at Zenith, said, “We’ve survived for 67 years without a good ERP system, but EFI Radius is about to provide us 
with the information we need to take our performance to the next level.
 
“EFI Radius is going to make us a much more informed and versatile organization,” Rodriguez continued. “We are going to be able to optimize 
many of our redundant operations, both in the plant and in the office.”
 
With accurate, real-time information from shop floor data collection and an automated approach to scheduling, Zenith will be able to greatly 
improve its machine utilization and the accuracy of its job costing. The company will have the information it needs to make smarter decisions, and 
increased production efficiencies from Zenith’s Radius implementation will help the company decrease turnaround times.

quickly from offer to closure.  Paul and his team were a pleasure to work with. They have a strong company and will be a great addition to the EFI

EFI Extends Ease of Integration with Industry’s First JDF-Certified Digital Front End

EFI™ Electronics For Imaging, Inc. (Nasdaq: EFII), a world leader in customer-focused printing innovation, today announced that their Fiery® digital 
front ends (DFEs) are the first in the industry to achieve JDF Certification for Digital Printing. EFI Fiery System 9R2 and newer servers have been 
awarded the JDF1.3 Integrated Digital Printing Interoperability Conformance Specification (ICS) certification. As a result of this certification, Fiery 
Driven™ devices from the leading digital print engine manufacturers will be easier than ever to integrate with workflow systems from pre-press all the
way to printing.
 
The certification underscores EFI’s commitment to an industry-standard, open platform that supports workflow integration. EFI is one of the most 
experienced JDF developers in the business, with the most certified experts and the most JDF-certified products, including 11 certifications for EFI 
MIS/ERP products. John Henze, vice president of Fiery marketing at EFI, notes, “EFI’s continuing investment to support the latest JDF standards 
is key to enable all the EFI MIS and Web-to-print solutions, plus third-party products, to seamlessly integrate with Fiery digital front ends, making 
Fiery the preferred choice for commercial printers.”
 
Customers can use JDF certification as a criterion in product evaluation and purchasing decisions. Buying JDF-certified systems and software 
should save customers time and money when integrating new equipment into their production workflow — without requiring expensive and time-
consuming coding of private extensions. Developers also save coding time to cut their time to market.
 
“The Fiery DFE certification is a significant step forward as the industry moves increasingly into digital production,” said Dr. Mark Bohan, vice 
president, technology and research, Printing Industries of America. “Automation is one of the ways in which print providers can differentiate 
themselves to become more profitable. The certification of DFEs is crucial for digital printing as it provides the ability to achieve excellent 
integration with already-certified MIS systems. It gives print providers confidence that automation will work efficiently and integrate into their 
workflow systems.”

integration that will help commercial printers and digital printers reduce costs and improve service.”
 
Perfect Pass Rating by VIGC for PDF/X-4 Compliance 
In related news, EFI innovation continues to be recognized by the industry. Fiery FS100 Pro now carries the VIGC PDF RIP Audit: Perfect label, 
the first and only digital front end that has achieved this 100% compliance certification. The VIGC PDF RIP audit tests the rendering of PDF/X-4 
features and only awards a “Perfect” certification to those systems that are able to render all features as expected. Print providers using a Fiery 
FS100 Pro digital front end can have confidence that the true intent of the graphic designer using tools like Adobe Creative Suite will be reflected 
in the print job correctly the first time, avoiding costly reprints, delivery delays, and dissatisfied print buyers.
 
“FS100 Pro addresses the print provider’s need for vibrant image quality delivered quickly, efficiently and cost effectively, allowing the faster 
completion of complex work and the ability to maintain a competitive advantage in a demanding marketplace,” said Toby Weiss, senior vice 
president and general manager of EFI’s Fiery business unit. “Visitors to our booth at GRAPH EXPO will be wowed by the speed, color quality, 
usability and integration delivered by Fiery FS100 Pro.”
 
FS100 Pro System Details
Fiery HyperRIP. Central to the performance gains of Fiery FS100 Pro is HyperRIP, a unique, speed-enhancing technology that splits individual files 
so that they can be processed with multiple interpreters simultaneously to reach the print engine up to 40 percent faster than current systems. 

Fiery JobMaster. Integrating into the existing Fiery workflow is this new make-ready solution which allows operators to assemble complex 
documents efficiently. Fiery JobMaster includes visual tab insertion and design, easy-to-use page editing and numbering, page-level ticketing, 
chapterization, ability to import and modify scanned pages into jobs, and late-stage editing features.

manner. This includes the ability to convert, preflight, edit, image enhance and impose documents directly before printing, saving time and money 
by automating repetitive tasks and preventing printing errors. 

Fiery Command WorkStation® 5.4. The latest update to EFI’s signature Fiery user interface includes integration with Fiery Color Profiler Suite and 
convenient inline editing of the copies, job names and workflow data. The premier in-RIP interactive image enhancement technology now offers 
refined tools to improve facial skin tone independent from other image areas and improved red-eye detection/correction. 

Fiery Ticker. Fiery Ticker provides an “at a glance” update on Fiery job status, presenting a large display view of key information for an operator 
such as processing and printing speeds of the current job, pages remaining to print for the current job, error messages, and tray information. 

Industry-Leading JDF Integration. FS100 Pro’s inclusion of the latest JDF standards will enable the 20,000+ print provider sites that use EFI MIS 
and web-to-print products to seamlessly integrate EFI and other third party products with Fiery digital front ends, making Fiery the preferred choice 
for commercial printers. Fiery FS100 Pro, along with Fiery System 9R2 and 10 are the first to achieve the JDF1.3 Integrated Digital Printing 
Interoperability Conformance Specifications (ICS) certification by CIP4. 
 
The first digital print engines to feature Fiery FS100 Pro will be commercially available in the first quarter of 2013. Fiery Command WorkStation 5.4 
will be available for download from EFI’s website in mid-October.

“Not only are we absolutely committed to supporting and expanding the EFI OPS product suite,” said Filip Buyse, general manager of EFI’s OPS, 
Digital StoreFront®, and PrintSmith™ products, “but we’re committed to helping our commercial print customers be even easier to do business with, 
and providing them with the means to offer more advanced products. Everything we do is to help print providers become more efficient and 
capture more business, and that’s exactly what these new tools are for.”
 
MPrint Mobile Web-to-Print Application 
The EFI OPS smartphone application, MPrint, is the first transactional application launched by a web-to-print vendor to date. With MPrint, 
commercial printers can enable their clients to interact with them in a manner that best suit. From viewing product catalogues, editing and proofing 
artwork, through to ordering and approving jobs, MPrint helps capture the ever-increasing migration of Internet usage to the mobile web. MPrint is 
an optional module that can be added to an EFI OPS system and deployed to an unlimited number of end users.
 
CallTarget Print Marketing Tracking Module  
With the launch of the CallTarget module, the EFI OPS platform now turns even the most standard printed item into a trackable marketing piece, 
allowing for end customers to easily see and compare the return on investment for various marketing campaigns. When creating a print piece, 
users will have the option of adding a unique, temporary, redirected phone number to their marketing materials, including business cards, 
brochures, flyers and direct-mail pieces. This is the first of many tools that EFI will be providing its clients to compete with the online world.
 
“By delivering tools to our customers that give their clients the confirmation of the successful return on investment that print can provide,” added 
Mark McGowan, director of EFI's OPS products. “EFI is helping our clients stay at the core of their customers’ marketing spend.”

Tennant & Russell, LLC, a consulting company specializing in strategic moves for software companies within the printing industry, announced this 
morning the acquisition of Online Print Solutions (OPS), its client, by Electronics For Imaging, Inc., a world leader in customer-focused digital 
printing innovation.  

OPS is a leading innovator in the areas of web-to-print, dynamic publishing and cross-media marketing solutions.  OPS brings a decade of 
experience developing and deploying applications developed specifically to manage the unique needs of corporate storefronts, retail sites and 
online design to variable data and cross-media solutions. Its customers include many commercial printers throughout North America, Europe and 
Asia. While financial terms of the acquisition were not disclosed, the transaction is not expected to be material to EFI's 2012 results.

"We were very pleased to be working with another solid company like OPS", said Tennant & Russell, President, James McCarthy. "The 
acquisition process can be very involved, time consuming and complicated, and we were delighted that we could help move the process very 
quickly from offer to closure.  Mark, Joanne and their team were a pleasure to work with. They have a strong company and will be a great addition 
to the EFI team."

"We are very pleased to bring OPS into our growing web-to-print customer community and combine our world-class offerings in the market," said 
Marc Olin, Senior Vice President and General Manager of EFI's Productivity Software division. "With our track-record of providing the industry's 
largest and most comprehensive cloud offering, EFI has seen web-to-print expand and become a standard way of doing business around the 
world. We see great potential in continuing to expand our offerings in web-to-print and further leverage our unique ability to provide an integrated 
workflow with our MIS systems and our industry-leading Fiery® controllers."

OPS software will become part of EFI's Productivity Software portfolio. EFI intends to continue to offer both Digital StoreFront® and OPS products 
to the market, and in the near future, integrate key OPS features and technologies supporting cross-media marketing and variable data printing 
into the EFI Digital StoreFront platform, as well as with EFI MIS software. EFI also plans to integrate the OPS platform into its industry-leading Fiery 
digital front ends, so that OPS clients may enjoy seamless connectivity to the wide range of Xerox, Ricoh, Canon, Konica Minolta, and other Fiery 
driven printers available on the market today. In addition, EFI plans to combine the two platforms over the coming years so that OPS and Digital 
StoreFront users will have an easy migration to a platform incorporating the best of both technologies. EFI will provide this new platform to all 
clients with current maintenance contracts on either system at that time.

"The OPS team and I are very excited about joining EFI, a clear leader in MIS/ERP and eCommerce software for print," said Mark McGowan, the
founder of OPS. "We look forward to sharing our expertise in the areas of web-to-print, cross-media marketing, and variable data printing to 
enhance EFI products. We are committed to continuing to provide the next generation of web-to-print and marketing solutions."

EFI Redefines Digital Ceramic Printing Market with Next-Generation Cretaprint and Fiery Technology

EFI™ Electronics For Imaging, Inc. (Nasdaq: EFII), a world leader in customer-focused printing innovation, today unveiled the EFI Cretaprint® C3 
printer with the Fiery® proServer for Cretaprint, the world’s first digital front end for the growing ceramic imaging market. Representing a new 
generation of inkjet presses for ceramics, the Cretaprint C3 multipurpose digital ceramic decoration printer leverages five years of research and 
development work and combines the knowledge and customer feedback of 15 years in the market space. The EFI Cretaprint C3 is on display this 
week at Tecnargilla at the EFI Cretaprint stand (Hall C1, stand 166).
 
The first EFI Cretaprint C3 press was installed at El Barco Spain. “EFI Cretaprint’s next-generation C3 inkjet press gives us the highest quality 
ceramic printing experience available,” said Jose Carlos Fernandez, chief technology officer at El Barco. “With more intense colors, more 
flexibilities, higher yield, and a great user interface, this latest inkjet technology helps our business be more productive, more profitable, and helps 
us grow by exceeding the expectations of our customers.”
 
“This is the third generation of digital ceramic printers from Cretaprint, and it will completely change the entire industry,” said Ghilad Dziesietnik, 
EFI’s chief technology officer. “The tile imaging market is rapidly shifting towards digital, and EFI Cretaprint is leading this transformation worldwide. 
The Cretaprint C3 enables customers to speed up production lines and create products with added value due to innovations in every area of the 
printer. This is the most flexible, reliable, and productive printer ever built for the ceramics market.”
 
The Cretaprint C3 features a single chassis able to accommodate up to eight print bars, which are easy to access due to a new slide-bar design, 
and can be independently configured for printing and special decoration effects. The flexible and innovative multipurpose system offers over 
1,000 customizable settings, from print width and speed to printer direction and ink discharge, and allows working with different print heads in the 
same machine – some for printing and others with stronger ink discharge to apply special decoration effects. Its compact design and footprint 
allows it to be easily incorporated into an existing ceramic tile production line. Visit http://youtu.be/yHHeabm84Us for a video overview.
 
EFI’s Cretaprint C3 comes with an optional Fiery proServer, the first dedicated color management solution for the ceramic market, redefining the 
design and production process for color in the ceramic imaging space by enabling predictable, controllable and automated results. The Fiery 
ceramic workflow serves as the bridge between a ceramic print environment’s production and business management solutions. The workflow 
reduces waste, increases productivity, and boosts profitability through measurement-based processes that eliminate the trial-and-error approach to 
color management.

EFI Launches M500 Self-Serve Copy and Print Station For Campuses, Libraries and Print Providers

EFI, a world leader in digital printing innovation, has launched the M500 Self-Serve Copy and Print Station, the industry’s only self-serve system 
that allows mobile printing from mobile phones, iPads, USB drives and cloud accounts like Google Drive™, Dropbox, Box, and EFI PrintMe®. The 
M500 station is unique in that it accepts credit cards, campus cards, and cash cards at the device, eliminating the need for coin-operated 
machines. The system is also Payment Application Data Security Standard (PA-DSS) validated to assist in Payment Card Industry (PCI) 
compliance audits. The M500 station is available immediately through EFI resellers, and a video of how the system works can be seen online here.
 
“Students today are more digital, more mobile, and keep more documents in the cloud,” said John Henze, vice president of Fiery marketing at EFI. 
“Antiquated devices like coin-operated copiers are not meeting their printing needs and create cash management headaches for university staff. 
EFI’s M500 station provides the easiest way for users to access, pay and print in a completely self-serve environment.”
 
Tablets, mobile phones and laptops, as well as the use of online cloud storage, are the new tools for students. According to a Harris Interactive 
poll, the number of students using tablets has tripled over the past year, and 36 percent of the college students surveyed plan to buy a tablet in 
the next six months. Additionally, 63 percent believe that tablets will replace textbooks in the next five years. At the same time, printed documents 
and materials are still a requirement at most universities.
 
The M500 station is EFI’s latest addition to a line of more than 4,000 self-serve copy and print devices installed across the United States handling 
over 100,000 transactions per day. A flexible and scalable system for colleges and libraries, the M500 station addresses student demands for 
printing from any mobile devices, as well as from popular cloud storage services. It features a large 10-inch color touchscreen, provides secure 
encrypted communications, integrates with campus card and billing systems, and works with any PostScript® printer or multi-function printer. The 
station supports 1D/2D barcode scanning for mobile devices and discount cards. A simple user interface with support for multiple languages 
speeds transactions.
 
EFI has a full line of products that meet the needs of the college and library market, including: cash card vending kiosks, register software and 
card readers for staff sales of cash cards, and backend management and reporting software.
 
EFI logos and EFI M500 Self-Serve Copy and Print Station images are available in the EFI press room.

EFI Launches Fiery Certification Program to Help Customers Maximize Employee Productivity and Production Capacity 
 
EFI, a world leader in customer-focused digital printing innovation, today announced a new certification training program for its Fiery® digital print 
servers, tools, and software options. Print providers now have a structured learning program that teaches them the essential skills they need to 
increase production capacity through enhanced staff productivity, to expand their service portfolio into higher profit jobs, and to increase customer 
loyalty with superior color quality and faster job turnaround. As an added benefit the Fiery Certification program validates acquired skills through a 
certification exam.
 
“Fiery technology is the world’s most popular digital printing workflow and now users will benefit by having an official certification program that 
helps them maximize the productivity of their people and the performance of their existing digital engines,” said John Henze, vice president of Fiery
 marketing, EFI. “Fiery Certification is an investment that returns real value to the business with the enhanced skill set of its Fiery certified 
employees. Increased staff know-how can allow print providers to increase operation efficiency, reduce errors, cut waste, and produce higher 
quality, higher-profit variable data or complex document assembly jobs.”
 
Fiery Certification training modules and materials are exclusively developed by EFI subject-matter experts and provide a comprehensive curriculum 
that progressively builds knowledge on Fiery systems, tools, features and software options. Designed for new and existing Fiery users, Fiery 
Certification consists of two tracks – Fiery Professional Certification and Fiery Expert Certification.
 
The Fiery Professional Certification establishes solid foundational skills on Fiery functionality such as optimal system configuration, print job 
management, automated workflows, color profiles and calibration. This curriculum consists of 15 self-paced online courses and a certification 
exam. The entirely Web-based program is accessible anytime, anywhere and allows students to create their own learning plan around their 
schedule.
 
“The Fiery Professional Certification program is really interactive and easy to understand,” said Clement Savari, a trainer at Australian National 
College. “It gave me a solid understanding of the Fiery workflow, and now I’ll be able to pass new knowledge on to my students that they can 
take into their first jobs in the industry.”
 
“The program is very comprehensive and has given me a greater understanding of key Fiery functionality,” said Viorel Golea, a technical product 
specialist at Ricoh Canada who has completed Fiery Professional Certification. “The courses were easy to use and very interactive, with the 
flexibility to start and stop at my own pace. In addition to increasing my Fiery knowledge, the certification has created a stronger relationship for me 
with EFI.”
 
The Fiery Expert Certification builds on the Fiery Professional Certification and provides in-depth training on more advanced topics such as the use 
of advanced Fiery imposition and variable data printing tools, PDF workflow optimization, complex late-stage color editing, JDF workflow 
integration, and more. Fiery Expert Certification offers a blended training approach with five online courses, a two-day intensive hands-on 
classroom training, and an online certification exam. Fiery Expert Certification develops practical application in real-world production situations for 
more strategic management of Fiery systems.

EFI Jetrion 4900 Ups the Resolution and Adds More Versatility

Following the high demand for its Jetrion® 4900, EFI™(Nasdaq: EFII) has incorporated a new 720dpi mode to increase the print resolution for 
labels, along with broadening its portfolio of flexo substrates that need no special coating or overlaminating.
 
The increased print quality utilizes new firing modes to drive the single-pass printheads, resulting in enhanced reproduction of text and image 
details. As part of EFI's long-standing philosophy to bring as many new innovations as possible to existing customers, this 720 dpi mode is 
available for new and existing 4900 customers. EFI has also added to its expanding portfolio of industry-leading substrates, and the Jetrion 4830 
and 4900 are now compatible with several additional stocks from 3M, Avery Dennison, Flexcon, Raflatac, Ritrama, Spinnaker and Wausau. Label 
converters will benefit from the increased selections, as well as the economic benefits of low cost of printing UV ink direct-to-substrate.
 
“Since its introduction, the EFI Jetrion 4900 has proven to be so successful that we have healthy demand from users around the world wanting to
benefit from the surge in variable label content and shorter, more flexible runs,” explained Sean Skelly, vice president and general manager of EFI 
Jetrion. “Offering a higher output resolution option and adding more printable stocks to the machine’s capabilities are certain to appeal to all 
present and future users who want to expand the use of digital printing and benefit from high quality results with the convenience of a fully digital 
workflow.”
 
Repacorp, Inc. recently purchased a third Jetrion press to keep up with customer requests. Tony Heinl, vice president, comments: "EFI continues 
to innovate its Jetrion line of products, which opens up opportunities for us to use our Jetrion digital label presses on new applications while 
continuing to exceed customer expectations."
 
EFI also recently disclosed a record 93 percent boost in ink volume for the Jetrion segment alone in Q1 2012, compared with the same quarter 
last year, showing the strong growth in 4900 customers’ digital business. The EFI Jetrion 4900 offers fully integrated narrow-web printing and 
finishing to simplify short- and medium-run digitally produced label jobs across a wide range of standard and speciality stocks. Launched in 
September 2011, it has quickly proven itself with many users experiencing cost savings of more than $1,000 a day and easy migration of flexo 
applications. Advanced features include high powered dual lasers for die-cutting, slitting and back-scoring, and CMYK plus highly opaque white 
UV-curable inks offer durable output which is resistant to heat, cold and chemicals.

Leading EFI Fiery Technology Drives New Ricoh Aficio MFPs

Leading EFI Fiery Technology Drives New Ricoh Aficio MFPs, Bringing Productivity-Boosting Tools and Mobile Printing to the Office 
 
EFI, a world leader in customer-focused digital printing innovation, and Ricoh launched new Fiery® technology that brings office workgroups high-
quality color, automated workflows, and productivity-boosting tools including a solution for mobile device users to print from their smartphones and 
tablets. Built on the award-winning Fiery System 10e platform, with speeds two times faster than their predecessors, the new Aficio® MFPs deliver 
fully finished documents more quickly than ever before.
 
“The latest advanced Fiery technology combined with the Ricoh Aficio MFPs provides customers with exceptional color printing,” said John 
Henze, vice president of Fiery marketing, EFI. “This launch builds upon the outstanding Fiery color quality and ease of use while adding some 
unique tools that increase productivity in office environments, including the Fiery VUE visual print application and direct Wi-Fi printing for Apple 
device users. These features save time for busy office workers while ensuring first-rate results.”
 
Specifically, EFI has launched Fiery E-5300 driving Ricoh Aficio MP C4502/C4502A/C5502/C5502A and Fiery E-3300 driving Ricoh Aficio MP 
C3002/C3502.
 
The functionality of the Fiery software combined with the finishing capabilities of the Ricoh Aficio printers enable workgroups to increase 
productivity, save time and reduce resource waste and costs. Producing more professional-looking documents in-house has never been easier 
with the Fiery VUE visual print application – its intuitive interface allows users to make instant changes to the document and view a live 3D 
preview of the finished piece. Integration and support of all available Ricoh Aficio finishing devices enhances print output options and further 
simplifies the creation of more complex documents such as booklets.
 
With the increased use of smartphones and tablets in the office, now more than ever, mobile workers need to be able to access and print their 
documents not only from their desktop computers, but also from their mobile devices. The Fiery system provides a built-in mobile print option for no 
additional cost, enabling users to print directly via Wi-Fi from their iPad™, iPhone® and iPod touch® applications to the Ricoh Aficio printers. The 
Fiery software automatically discovers the printer and presents users with print options for fast and easy printing.
 
Spot color reproduction is an option built-in to the Fiery system. Fiery Spot-On® software enables the best match for PANTONE colors or any other 
specialty colors to ensure corporate colors are consistent and accurate every time.
 
A new feature of Fiery System 10e allows IT administrators to configure the most commonly used print job settings once and then publish them via 
the Fiery Driver to users -- eliminating the user’s need to select print options every time and encouraging adherence to corporate printing policies 
such as duplex printing.
 
For greater productivity and image quality, the Fiery Productivity Package includes features such as Image Enhance Visual Editor for on-the-fly per 
image correction and Fiery Hot Folders to automate document preparation. These tools help users produce top-notch color documents and print 
them faster with less waste.

“KIP provides a unique production print device that is able to bridge the gap between slower wide format inkjet devices and smaller format high-
speed, toner-based digital production devices, and we’re pleased to pair the KIP C7800 with the Fiery wide format production system,” said Wil 
Reimer, national technical manager at KIP. “Together with EFI, we now have a strong solution for a market that has traditionally been dominated 
by inkjet devices.”
 
EFI Fiery takes color quality and productivity for large to superwide format printers to a new level with open ICC technology while supporting 
advanced color and production tools. The fast, high-performance RIP works with most major aqueous, solvent, eco-solvent and UV printers. It 
maximizes a customer’s investment by reducing production times, unifying production devices and delivering accurate color on every job.

The LED-based KIP C7800 wide-format color production print system offers the only color toner-based system in the wide format market, 
combined with powerful print control capabilities and versatile production advantages, making high-quality, wide-format printing both fast and cost-
effective.

Xerox and EFI Bring New Levels of Productivity and Image Quality to Digital Printing

Blazing RIP speed, superior text and graphics resolution, and seamless integration to EFI’s Productivity Software are hallmarks of Fiery Driven 
Xerox iGen 150 Press 
 
EFI, a world leader in customer-focused digital printing innovation, today announced the new Xerox EX Print Server, powered by Fiery, for the 
new Xerox iGen™ 150 Press, a break-through combination in commercial print. Using Fiery System 10, the Fiery Driven™ Xerox iGen 150 provides 
customers with advanced capabilities to produce high-margin print jobs including personalized communications and packaging. This powerful 
Fiery technology will be showcased at the Xerox (Hall 8B) and EFI (Hall 5, stand C01) stands at drupa through May 16.
 
“In addition to the image quality and reliability the market has come to expect from both EFI and Xerox, the Fiery EX Print Server adds new levels 
of image quality with the introduction of Dynamic High Definition Text and Graphics,” said John Henze, vice president of Fiery marketing, EFI. This 
exclusive EFI capability provides unsurpassed text and line sharpness and smoothness, creating output that will ‘wow’ customers.”
 
Unmatched Performance and Productivity 
The EX Print Server’s blazing RIP speeds allow operators to process more jobs at faster speeds, critical when most shops are facing the 
challenge of managing a growing number of smaller jobs with faster turnarounds.
 
In addition, the EX Print Server’s variable data printing (VDP) capabilities offer open, scalable workflow tools from entry level to advanced, making 
operators more productive as they grow their VDP volumes. The EX Print Server supports common VDP protocols, including PPML PDF/VT, VPS 
and VIPP, enabling a single, streamlined print production workflow for all job types.
 
Superior Image and Text Quality  
The EX Print Server offers exciting new features that surpass even the toughest customer demands.

Dynamic HD Text and Graphics – This new capability, available only in the EX Print Server, gives operators the ability to print with superior edge 
and text quality for all color and saturation levels. This ability to produce text and graphics in high definition and deliver the industry’s best text and 
graphics quality helps differentiate printing operations in a highly competitive marketplace. 

Image Enhance Visual Editor (IEVE) – A new version of this fully integrated plug-in application offers quick, on-the-fly correction for individual 
images including the ability to enhance the tone, color and sharpness of any photo in a document. Not only does this allow exceptional image 
adjustment capability at the point of print, but it also saves significant time and eliminates production delays as operators do not need access to 
the original design files. 
 
Automation and Integration
 Print providers need more workflow automation and seamless integration with MIS/ERP systems to increase efficiency and reduce cost. The 
open Fiery platform is part of EFI’s integrated portfolio, offering the only submission-to-production workflow that allows printing operations to 
increase productivity and achieve higher profits. Fiery technology is a great fit with EFI’s market-leading portfolio of productivity software, including 
PrintSmith™, Pace™, Radius and Monarch management systems and the EFI Digital StoreFront® web-to-print platform. The EX Print Server 
conforms to industry standards and serves as a gateway to third-party technologies such as Xerox FreeFlow® Workflow, Agfa Apogee and Kodak
Prinergy.

EFI Marks 12 Years as the Industry Cloud Services Leader, Adds Remote Data Protection to Offerings

Marking its twelfth year of delivering cloud-based solutions, with more than 2,500 customers utilizing the company’s on-demand managed 
services, EFI™ (Nasdaq: EFII) today launched an additional cloud service offering – off-site data protection services utilizing its own state-of-the-art 
data center in North America and additional sites in Europe.
 
Available now, EFI is offering new online back-up, storage and data recovery options for Print MIS and web-to-print customers that wish to host 
their own solutions, to ensure protection, redundancy and speedy recovery in case of disaster. Operations are monitored continuously and 
customers are notified immediately of conditions that could impact service.
 
“EFI has been a pioneer in cloud-based services with active customers since 2000. We are the largest managed services provider for print 
providers, with thousands of locations and millions of users accessing the cloud,” said Ghilad Dziesietnik, chief technology officer of EFI. 
“Software in the cloud offers numerous benefits, most notably reduced maintenance costs for users, 24/7 care and management by a team of 
experts, anywhere access to information, redundancy, back-up and highly secure data. Our new remote data protection services provide many of 
these advantages for clients that wish to host their own applications.”
 
EFI’s current cloud-based Software as a Service offerings include EFI Pace™ and EFI PrintSmith™ Vision management systems, the EFI Digital 
StoreFront® web-to-print platform, and the new EFI Fiery® Dashboard business information service. Unlike many other applications on the market 
today that are designed as client-server products, EFI applications were designed from the ground up to run in a browser; their performance and 
reliability have been fine-tuned over the years to work optimally in a cloud-based deployment.
 
EFI cloud offerings enable customers to utilize powerful, Web-based tools without investing in any hardware or dedicated IT personnel on site. 
The system is continuously available to administrators, print operations personnel and print requestors via the Internet, without any need for local
software other than a browser.

Commercial printer Freeport Press, Inc. is an EFI MIS client that hosts their own solution and was an early adopter of EFI’s disaster recovery 
services. “We had a fire in our facility and EFI was able to recover our back-up data and have us up and running from their cloud as soon as our 
replacement hardware was available,” said David G. Pilcher, president and CEO of Freeport Press. “Without EFI’s help and quick response, and 
expertise in delivering cloud-based solutions, we would have lost countless hours of business from not having our systems available.”
 
“The cloud is not only ideal for hosting services, but also for providing other critical capabilities such as disaster recovery,” said Greg Carter, 
director of EFI cloud services. “With their data safely stored off-site with EFI, customers are more prepared than they could be on their own. Our 
capacity and expertise ensure a timely recovery at a moment that is trying and critical for any organization.”
 
Customer data are transferred automatically every day using secure protocols to allow a full recovery into EFI’s cloud which uses the latest border 
security, access control techniques, active virus filtering, and centralized monitoring. EFI provides MIS and Internet know-how combined with 
24x7, real-time situation handling to deliver reliable services from the cloud as well as superior recovery into the cloud.

EFI Previews Latest Innovations at Connect User Conference

Connect Attendees Experience Pre-drupa Sneak Peeks and Latest Product Advances 
 
EFI, a world leader in customer-focused digital printing innovation, is displaying the newest and pre-release versions of its products at the 13th 
annual Connect users’ conference (http://w3.efi.com/connect) taking place through April 13 at the Wynn Las Vegas. In addition to access to 
more than 150 educational sessions, user group meetings, speakers and exhibitors, Connect attendees are the first to see demonstrations and 
test drive the latest EFI products before they are released.
 
On Tuesday afternoon, amongst a packed audience, EFI CEO Guy Gecht kicked off the conference with a keynote referencing the changing 
window of opportunity for the industry, especially around digital printing and personalization. "Just as other industries, such as music and mobile 
phones, saw a transformation to a higher value based on personalization of content to consumer needs, our industry is experiencing similar 
changes. The opportunities that this transformation brings are many and significant, and you don’t want to get caught selling the old ‘walkman’ to 
your customers,” Gecht told the audience.
 
While Connect is underway, EFI offers a preview of the new technology the company is bringing to drupa 2012. These innovations span the 
breadth of the company’s offerings from the new cloud-based Fiery® Dashboard to the VUTEk® HS100, a new category in speed and quality 
digital press that promises to transform the analog superwide screen printing process. Also, customers attending Connect will hear for the first time 
about EFI’s new inkjet printer operating system, named “Orion,” which is promising to unlock more capabilities of current and future EFI inkjet 
presses.
 
Last night, EFI announced their latest acquisition – Metrics Sistemas de Informação – in a move to accelerate development in the growing and 
vibrant market of Latin America, and bring the EFI ecosystem to the region with the entire company portfolio, ranging from Fiery workflow and 
cloud and customer-hosted ERP software, all the way to industrial inkjet production printers.
 
EFI Connect Underway
A highlight of the Connect solutions area again this year is the Digital Workflow Experience – a live demonstration that shows an integrated 
workflow from submission to output. The demonstration follows a job from submission using EFI Digital StoreFront® web-to-print solution, to both 
EFI Pace™ and EFI Monarch print MIS systems, to EFI PrintFlow®, to a Fiery production RIP server, and then to the VUTEk GS3250LX and/or the 
new EFI R3225 printer to illustrate how a seamless workflow can save time, while reducing errors and waste.
 
Conference attendees can see the latest versions of EFI print ERP (MIS) offerings. For the first time at Connect, the new EFI PrintSmith™ Vision is 
on display. An evolution of EFI PrintSmith, PrintSmith Vision provides a full-featured, browser-based management solution. The newest release of 
EFI Pace is being shown, highlighting advanced scheduling, a new digital order entry tool, and greater integration to Fiery servers, EFI inkjet 
printers and EFI Digital StoreFront. A preview of the forthcoming edition of EFI Monarch is available to attendees, including new PrintFlow and 
Auto-Count® features, wide- and super-wide format workflow and planner capabilities, and an improved digital page workflow. The just released 
version 13.1 of EFI Radius will be on display, with streamlined estimating for self-adhesive labels, integration with SmartLinc, SmartWare and 
SmartLinc Process Shipper, and new flexible packaging enhancements. Also on display is the latest release of Digital StoreFront, which shows off 
rich ticketing updates and improved support for Fiery, Fiery XF and wide-format integration.
 
The Fiery solutions area highlights the latest server system integrated with EFI Web-to-Print and MIS. The newest version of the Fiery system 
software, with features that improve image quality, color output, usability, and performance, is being demonstrated. Launched earlier today, Fiery 
Dashboard is a new cloud-based information service that enables owners and production managers to easily and quickly analyze their operations 
and make better business decisions. Attendees can also learn about EFI’s enterprise printing products, the new EFI M500 station for self-service 
print, copy and pay including mobile and cloud printing. As part of the Digital Workflow Experience, there is a workflow showing EFI Digital 
StoreFront to EFI Pace to EFI PrintFlow dynamic scheduling to the Fiery Central production workflow tool to a Fiery-driven Ricoh Pro C901 printer 
illustrating an efficient, integrated workflow that saves time, reduces errors, and decreases waste. There is also a live demo of Fiery integrated to 
the Kodak Prinergy Workflow.
 
Also on display in the Connect lab are proofing products, including the newest versions of Colorproof™ XF and Fiery XF. An EFI Wide Format 
T1000 is shown in a separate area.

EFI Launches Fiery Dashboard Cloud-Based Service

Print Production Managers Now Have 24/7 Anywhere, Anytime Access to Business Information 
 
With the 13th annual Connect users’ conference underway, EFI™ (Nasdaq: EFII) today launched Fiery® Dashboard, a cloud-based service that 
enables owners and production managers to easily and quickly analyze their operations and make better business decisions. Fiery Dashboard 
provides 24/7 access to real-time production data from any Internet browser, including mobile phones and tablets. Connect attendees can see 
Fiery Dashboard in the solutions lab through April 13 at the Wynn; a 30-day free trial is available now as well as a video demo.  
 
“From printer uptime and utilization to media use and paper jams, as well as a host of other metrics, now print shop owners and managers can take 
better control of their operation with our cloud-based Fiery Dashboard service,” said John Henze, vice president of Fiery marketing at EFI. “Users 
don’t have to be in their shop to stay on top of their operations, and don’t need to stop the presses to get the information necessary to make the 
right, data-driven business decisions.”
 
"As the general manager at University Graphic Systems, California Polytechnic State University's print shop, Fiery Dashboard has helped keep me 
on top of what’s happening on the production floor and drill down into the reasons, without even having to be at the shop,” said David Messer. 
“This service provides excellent graphical displays, which in turn have allowed our digital press operators to better understand how reducing 
waste and downtime positively affects our bottom line.”
 
With Fiery Dashboard, managers can collect a vast amount of production-level data to monitor and measure what is most important to them. The 
dashboard view can be customized to focus on specific printers or groups of printers, define targets for engine utilization, or choose different date 
ranges to measure daily, weekly, quarterly or even annual growth. Managers can easily see engine utilization and status, jobs and pages printed 
by media and the split between color and black and white. There are also a range of metrics that identify the source of production inefficiencies, 
from job errors and cancellations to paper jams. Fiery Dashboard also presents system status such as when engines need calibration to ensure 
color consistency in addition to identifying current level of software updates.
 
Owners and managers can compare these metrics between any or all Fiery Driven™ printers in the shop to understand relative engine productivity 
to more efficiently leverage resources across the shop. For instance, an owner may want to track black & white pages printed on a color device to
help determine if it makes more sense to purchase a dedicated black & white printer. Another example enables managers to compare printer 
utilization to help balance workload and optimize time shifts and schedules.
 
Availability
Fiery Dashboard is available now in English, French, Italian, German and Spanish. A 30-day free trial is available now in the U.S. and Canada.

EFI Acquires Metrics Sistemas, Establishes Software Group in Latin America

EFI Now a Leading Print ERP Software Provider in Latin America 
 
Electronics For Imaging, Inc. (Nasdaq: EFII), a world leader in customer-focused digital printing innovation, today announced it has acquired 
privately-held Metrics Sistemas de Informação (“Metrics”). Metrics is a leader in ERP (MIS) systems for the printing and packaging industries in 
Latin America. While financial terms of the transaction were not disclosed, the acquisition is not expected to be material to EFI’s 2012 results.
 
“The addition of Metrics’s high-caliber team and the extensive customer base they have built in South and Central America combined with EFI’s 
software portfolio will allow us to provide a higher value proposition to customers, along with creating a platform for EFI to introduce our unique 
eco-system to the region,” said Guy Gecht, CEO of EFI. “Latin America is a vibrant market with exciting growth opportunities for the entire EFI 
portfolio ranging from Fiery® workflow, to our cloud and customer-hosted web-to-print and ERP software, all the way to our industrial inkjet 
printers. With this acquisition we believe we are now the largest MIS/ERP provider to the printing and packaging industries in North and South 
America, Europe, Australia/New Zealand and South Africa with over 20,000 installations worldwide.”
 
Metrics is based in Sao Paulo, Brazil. Over the past 14 years, the company has built a base of more than 250 customers in Brazil and Latin 
America. Metrics will become part of EFI's Business Software portfolio under the leadership of Osmar Barbosa, co-founder and CEO of Metrics. 
Customers of Metrics will be able to take advantage of EFI’s complete product portfolio, as the Metrics product will be integrated with EFI’s 
industry-leading Fiery digital front ends, as well as VUTEk® and Jetrion™ inkjet printers so Metrics’s customers can enjoy the same advantages of 
integration that EFI’s other MIS clients have.

EFI intends to integrate support and operation of Metrics into the existing Business Software organization, while continuing to enhance the 
product offerings. The Metrics organization will assist with the localization of EFI’s existing product portfolio for the Brazilian and other Latin 
American markets and will be cross-trained so they may deploy and support EFI PrintSmith™, EFI Pace™, EFI Monarch, EFI Radius and EFI Digital 
StoreFront® throughout Latin America.
 
“Metrics is excited to join the world-class team of EFI employees and become the centerpiece of EFI’s strategic focus and investment in Latin 
America,” said Barbosa, who is now general manager of EFI Business Software, Latin America. “In addition to our current solution, our customers 
will now have access to an extensive portfolio of industry-leading technology, with more options to grow their business, while continuing to receive
the same high-level of support and attention they are accustomed to. We are especially gratified that we were able to keep our entire team intact 
as part of the transition to EFI, and that EFI is looking to grow our staff in the coming years.”
 
“Metrics has been extremely successful in Latin America, and as with our other acquisitions, we examined all of the competitors in the region and 
determined that Metrics was by far the best company,” said Marc Olin, senior VP of EFI Business Software and general manager. “They offer the 
strongest customer base in South and Central America, and have enabled EFI to establish a software group in the region. EFI is very committed to 
this business and to being the market leader in all regions of the world. With this investment we will continue to build upon the strength of our 
Americas organization and now offer Spanish and Portuguese implementation and support services for the EFI software portfolio.”
 
With the addition of Metrics, EFI is now a leading MIS/ERP provider in South and Central America, specifically Brazil, Argentina, Bolivia, Chile, 
Colombia, Costa Rica, Ecuador, El Salvador, Mexico and Peru.

EFI Launches New R3225 UV Inkjet Printer

Entry-level Production Wide Format UV Roll-to-Roll Printer for Sign, Banner, POP, and Graphics Printers Who Want to Deliver Stunning Images 
on an Expanded Set of Substrates 
 
Orlando, Fla. – March 22, 2012 – EFI™ (Nasdaq: EFII), a world leader in customer-focused digital printing innovation, today announces the 
worldwide introduction of the EFI R3225 at the ISA International Sign Expo (through March 24 in Orlando). The new EFI R3225 is a 3.2-meter roll-
to-roll, entry-level production UV inkjet printer that offers stunning image quality, low total cost of ownership, and access to a wide range of flexible 
substrates at production speeds, all at a price of around $160,000.
 
The EFI R3225 provides eight-level variable drop grayscale heads for superior quality images, optimized ink usage, and UV-curing inks for access 
to a wide range of substrates, giving owners the lowest total cost of ownership, greatest profit opportunity, additional addressable markets, and 
high customer satisfaction. Its UV-curable ink technology allows for the widest range of flexible substrates across countless applications including 
POP, banners, signage, fleet graphics, exhibition graphics and more.
 
“Using true eight-level variable drop grayscale technology, the EFI R3225 delivers stunning images, durable prints, and optimized ink usage,” said 
EFI product manager Scott Wood. “This environmentally friendly printer produces minimal VOC levels, and reduced energy costs. The EFI R3225 
uses proven UV-curable ink technology, and is ‘the’ alternative to latex printers for customers looking to migrate their current wide format eco-
solvent and solvent printers to a more environmentally-friendly solution, while upgrading their businesses to drive expansion and profitability.”
 
"The launch of the EFI R3225 is a significant move for print service providers wanting to make the move into 3.2m roll-to-roll wide-format UV-
curable production but, until now, have been prevented from doing so because there has been no pedigree platform in the entry-level sector,” 
said wide-format digital consultant Sophie Matthews-Paul. “Users need the assurance that, even though their investment comes at the low-end, 
they are benefiting from machine build, technology, ink and overall quality from a high-end manufacturer.”
 
The EFI R3225 is designed to deliver outstanding output to printers of all levels and sizes. Every aspect of the printer has been evaluated to drive 
simple daily operation and routine maintenance for optimal up-time without compromising print quality. This includes the design of the software and 
mechanical features of the printer. Other enhanced features and benefits include print speeds up to 900 square feet per hour with stunning 
grayscale print quality, along with automated features to maximize productivity.
 
The EFI R3225 will be available in Q2 2012.

EFI Customers Achieve Lean Label Production with Jetrion 4900 Digital Label Press

EFI™, a world leader in customer-focused digital printing innovation, today announced it has successfully completed deployments of the Jetrion® 
4900 UV Inkjet industrial presses for lean label production at Consolidated Products Inc. of Knoxville, Tenn. and Repacorp, Inc. of Tipp City, 
Ohio. These customers exemplify label printers choosing the leading UV inkjet vendor to streamline their label production.

The new EFI Jetrion 4900 label production system is the perfect digital printing press to meet the growing demand for digital label printing. The 
Jetrion 4900 combines digital printing and digital finishing in a single system, increasing efficiency with the lowest cost per finished label. Integrated 
workflow saves customers time and money as they move from a label print file directly to the finished roll without interruption. The Jetrion 4900 can 
pay for itself with a minimal number of jobs per day.

“EFI is pleased to be at the center of our customers’ success in lean label production,” said Sean Skelly, vice president of EFI and general 
manager of the Jetrion business group. “Jetrion inkjet technology is focused on exceeding customer expectations for performance, application 
flexibility and total cost of ownership. Our collaboration with customers like CPI and Repacorp help us innovate in the areas our customers care 
about the most.”

Consolidated Products, Inc. (CPI)
In business for more than 25 years, Consolidated Products, Inc. (CPI) is a provider of pressure sensitive labels and tags, offering digital printing, 
dome labels, high-speed laser die-cutting, RFID, and more. According to Kirk Icuss, president of CPI, “We first acquired the Jetrion 4830, and then
 partnered with EFI as an early installation site for the 4900 with the EFI Fiery® RIP to unify the color for both machines. The Jetrion presses give 
us the ability to respond to customer needs in a short time frame without the added cost of plates or dies and we deliver that increased value to 
our customers.” 

CPI is on a lean mission, assisting the company’s customer base of consumer products companies and big-box retailers to reduce SKUs and label 
inventory and reduce scrap costs. Icuss continues, “In the compliance labeling business, we grade quality by durability of the actual label. UV 
durability of the EFI inks was a key requirement for us.” 

Repacorp, Inc. 
Repacorp, Inc. is a full service print provider with four manufacturing plants located in Ohio, Wisconsin and Arizona. Tony Heinl, vice president of 
Repacorp, says: “As a company, we constantly look at what we can do to help our distributors increase sales. The answer was definitely adding 
EFI Jetrion presses to compete in short run process printing. We estimate the short run label market at about 800 million dollars. The addition of 
our three Jetrion presses immediately made us a force in that market.”

Repacorp prints a wide-range of label jobs on their Jetrion 4900, 4830 and 4000 systems, and relies on their high image quality. “Our Jetrion 4900
has near photographic quality, with outstanding color reproduction. Digital printing eliminates the need for plates and the laser system provides a 
tool-free method for cutting any desired shape,” says Heinl.

The printers are also used to print multiple copies of a label with variable data information such as serial numbers, barcodes, 2D barcodes, parking 
decals or date and lot coding. 

Jetrion 4900 
The Jetrion 4900 offers a high duty cycle and robust industrial design. One of the only fully digital end-to-end label production solutions, the Jetrion
4900: 

• Lowers the cost per label versus click-charge models since Jetrion customers pay only for the ink used.

• Enables production proofing and test marketing, as well as full production printing.

• Eliminates the need or cost for pre-priming on most substrates.

• Provides exceptionally durable labels without over varnish, and is UL certified on select substrates.

• Allows for 5-color printing (CMYK+W) in one pass, with an industry leading white opacity rivaling flexo quality.

• Offers dual high-powered laser die cutting, matrix removal, substrate slitting and a semi-automated turret for the leanest approach to digital label 
production.

New Release of EFI PrintMe Mobile Eases Deployment and Simplifies Wireless Printing for Tablets and Smartphones

Award-Winning Mobile Printing Software Uniquely Enables AirPrint-like Wi-Fi Printing From iPads, iPhones and Android Devices to All Enterprise Printers

EFI™ (Nasdaq:EFII), a world leader in customer-focused digital printing innovation, today announced the availability of PrintMe® Mobile 2.1, the 
company's award-winning enterprise mobile print solution. The latest additions in PrintMe Mobile software provide greater flexibility to integrate with
diverse network, security and communications infrastructures and make installation even easier. PrintMe Mobile enables enterprise IT to scale a 
mobile printing infrastructure to support any mobile device for thousands of users across a heterogeneous printer environment. A full version of EFI
 PrintMe Mobile software is available for download and a free 45-day trial at efi.com/printmemobile.

PrintMe Mobile is a cost-effective, scalable and secure on-premises mobile printing software solution that is easy to use, deploy, support and 
manage. PrintMe Mobile is the only enterprise software solution that enables direct Wi-Fi printing for iPads, iPhones, and Android devices, to all 
existing networked printers. IT departments can install PrintMe Mobile and deliver mobile printing on any printer connected to the network in as 
little as 20 minutes (view demo here). EFI PrintMe Mobile includes the following new features:

    PrintMe Mobile Link — free add-on software that enables Wi-Fi printing across complex, multi-subnet wireless network configurations.
    Proxy Server Support — provides easy set up for network configurations that require an internet proxy server.
    Microsoft Exchange Server — PrintMe Mobile now supports Microsoft Exchange Server over HTTPS as well as IMAP and POP protocols.
    Mobile Printing Reports — an improved reporting capability allows export for further data analysis. Print management software can now 
automatically track mobile printing jobs.

Meeting the Unique Requirements of Enterprise Mobile Printing

According to a recent report by Quocirca, the diversity of mobile platforms and printer hardware makes implementing an enterprise mobile print 
strategy far from simple. Organizations face a complex array of hardware, software and service offerings, which vary both by mobile platform and 
printer device. Businesses cannot afford to ignore the consumerization impact on enterprise printing. If they do, consumers will bypass IT and 
potentially use consumer printer apps which offer IT no real levels of corporate security or control on what is printed.

"The future of enterprise printing will increasingly be shaped by consumer trends. The extent to which organizations and vendors can harness this 
trend will determine success or failure," said Louella Fernandes, principal consultant at Quocirca. "Organizations must balance a mobile print 
strategy with security, cost, business process requirements, user needs and delivery models. Quocirca believes that PrintMe Mobile is ideally 
suited to enterprises that are looking for a flexible solution that provides a universal approach to printing across a mixed device fleet and multiple 
mobile OS platforms."

Growing Demand across Vertical Markets
PrintMe Mobile uniquely enables all printers on an enterprise network to be capable of AirPrint-like Wi-Fi printing from Apple iPads and iPhones as 
well as Android devices. This is particularly useful in markets where adoption rates of iPad tablets are growing.

"Zeno Office Solutions is seeing increased demand from our customer base for a mobile print solution that can provide direct Wi-Fi printing from 
the iPad and which works in a multi-vendor printer environment," said Keith Roher, vice president of sales for Zeno in Tampa, Fla. "We have 
successfully installed PrintMe Mobile at several customers recently and find EFI's enterprise mobile print software to be an ideal solution because it
covers all of our customers' mobile print needs in all of the markets we serve."

"Knowledge workers are adopting tablets for their flexibility and convenience, and are integrating these devices into their daily routines at work. 
But unlike laptops and PCs, tablets were not built with printing in mind," said John Henze, vice president of Fiery marketing for EFI. "PrintMe 
Mobile leverages more than a decade of mobile printing innovation to provide a solution that enterprise customers need today. We are removing 
the barriers to mobile printing, and letting users print when they want to from whatever device they have."

2.2 and VPS 1.5. Fiery technology optimizes PDF and PS to guarantee printing at engine rate speeds, and works with all leading variable data 
print (VDP) composition software for seamless VDP workflows. 

“We recently decided to upgrade our Konica Minolta press to the bizhub PRESS C8000 with a Fiery server, and during the testing we were 
extremely impressed with the speed – a large VDP file that took one hour to RIP on our old system took only 10 minutes!” said Oliver Zurfluh, 
manager of sports services at Datasport. Based in Switzerland, Datasport is a leading international service provider for sporting events, and as 
one of their services they print thousands of labels and other items each year. “This high level of performance, together with many other powerful

curves with an intuitive and flexible drag & drop operation. The Fiery Image Enhance Visual Editor (IEVE), a feature of CWS 5.3, allows editing 
optimizing of each image in a job without the need for the operator to go back to the native design file, saving time and reducing costs. 

Available standard on the bizhub Press C8000, Fiery Graphic Arts Package, Premium Edition provides expert users with professional tools for 
managing color, proofing and controlling workflow. The solution meets the color requirements of demanding customers and ensures accurate and 
repeatable color every time by letting operators have total control of color output quality. 

Comprehensive imposition and composition tools come standard in Fiery SeeQuence Suite. Fiery SeeQuence Impose and Fiery SeeQuence 
Compose shorten job preparation times and last minute corrections by enabling users to do all document impo­sition, composition, and content 
editing with one intuitive user interface. A 3D preview capability further reduces waste by allowing operators to see exactly how the job will print 
on the digital press.

In these demanding print environments, operators need to be able to easily perform late-stage edits – colors may need to be adjusted, documents 
imposed into booklets, and files preflighted or postflighed to ensure the highest quality before printing. The Fiery server provides all these “late-
stage make ready” capabilities, without the need for additional applications, making it an ideal solution for high volume, demanding, operator-led 
print environments.

EFI Ships Next-Generation, 3.2 Meter Dye-Sublimation Soft Signage Printer

Eliminating the Soft Signage Cost Barrier for Our Customers with the EFI VUTEk TX3250r --
 
EFI, a world leader in customer-focused digital printing innovation, today announces commercial availability of the EFI VUTEk® TX3250r fabric 
printer, enabling customers to take advantage of the demands and requirements of the growing soft signage markets. The VUTEk TX3250r 
printer is a new 3.2-meter, production-level solution that evolved from the first EFI industrial inkjet textile system, the VUTEk FabriVu, introduced in 
2002.
 
An early adopter for the VUTEk TX3250r, Indy Imaging of Indianapolis, IN already had two VUTEk GS3200 hybrid printers. According to Robbie 
Gordon, president, “In our market, it’s about reliability, quality and turnaround, and all of that must happen consistently. Our customers have 
noticed differences in all three areas. What used to take us hours now takes minutes, and the quality that was not there at 300 dpi with other 
printers, is abundantly there at 1080 dpi on the new VUTEk TX3250r. The speed and quality of this new printer outpaces the competition. We 
can now print 10-foot wide banners with no seams, opening up another market for larger sizes in flags and banners."
 
With the ability to print direct to textile and transfer paper, the VUTEk TX3250r is an ideal solution for users looking to grow their soft signage 
business with a production-level printer, or to diversify their offering by converting traditional vinyl signage to a product with lower shipping costs, a 
greener footprint, easier installation and higher margins.
 
“The introduction of the TX3250r should help eliminate the soft signage cost barrier for our customers and enable them to capture the market for 
soft signage, and flags” said Scott Schinlever, senior vice president and general manager of Inkjet Solutions at EFI. “One benefit is the ability to 
print on textiles, opening new markets for customers while expanding existing capabilities. EFI also focused on exceeding customer expectations 
 quality and reliability, as we did with the revolutionary FabriVu production quality textile printer that was launched nine years ago.”
 
The VUTEk TX3250r uses dye sublimation technology to dye, or sublimate, fabric fibers directly, so the fabric retains the same drape and soft 
hand customers prefer. This method achieves brighter colors than other textile printing methods and the final product is odorless. In addition, the 
TX3250r enables printing on polyester, which is a non-PVC material that is considered more eco-friendly than vinyl. Final printed images produced 
on the TX3250r can be washed, dried, folded without leaving marks and reused.
 
EFI VUTEk TX3250r features:

New, fast-drying inks for unparalleled speed up to 1800 ft2 / hour (167 m2 / hour); 
High-resolution, 8-color print capability for high-margin printed displays and high-density backlit signs; 
Fast-4 (CMYK) production speed for high-volume flag and banner jobs; 
Direct to textile or indirect via transfer printing process, so users can offer more materials.

EFI plans to strengthen Cretaprint’s operations in Spain, to further their expertise and innovation within the tile industry, and to grow their market 
presence. “As a pioneer in the digitization of the print industry, EFI is expanding into lucrative new markets. The ceramic tile industry can greatly 
benefit from our innovative portfolio of technologies,” said Ghilad Dziesietnik, Chief Technology Officer of EFI. “We look forward to sharing our 
success with Cretaprint’s 1,700-plus global customer network and expanding their talented employee base in Castellón.”
 
Fourth Quarter 2011 Preliminary Results 
Separately, EFI provided preliminary results for the fourth quarter of 2011, ended December 31. For the fourth quarter the company expects record 
revenues of approximately $163 million compared to $145 million in the fourth quarter of 2010, marking EFI’s eighth consecutive quarter of double 
digit growth. The company noted that the results were driven by record revenue in both the Inkjet and APPS/MIS segments.

EFI Acquires Alphagraph

EFI Becomes the Leading Print MIS Software Provider in Europe

Electronics For Imaging, Inc. (Nasdaq:EFII), a world leader in customer-focused digital printing innovation, today announced that it has acquired 
privately-held alphagraph team GmbH ("Alphagraph "). Alphagraph, with headquarters in Essen, Germany, is a provider of MIS/ERP 
(management information systems and enterprise resource planning) software products for the printing industry, including Prinance, Printy and 
Primus. While financial terms of the acquisition were not disclosed, the acquisition is not expected to be material to EFI's 2011 results.

"We are very pleased to have Alphagraph join the EFI family and our expanding portfolio of business automation technologies. We welcome their 
over 6,000 customer strong install base in Germany, Switzerland, Austria and throughout the rest of the world to our large global client base," said 
Marc Olin, GM of EFI's Software Applications ("APPS") business unit.

"Alphagraph is very enthusiastic about the opportunity to join EFI, as they have demonstrated that they are the clear leader in business process 
automation software for printing companies," said Norbert Hotze, Founder of Alphagraph. "It is a natural fit for our client base and we look forward 
to introducing them to EFI's overall support structure and portfolio of solutions."

EFI Auto-Count Now Integrated with Heidelberg POLAR Cutting Equipment

EFI, a world leader in customer-focused digital printing innovation, today announced that its powerful Auto-Count® direct machine interface 
technology is now integrated with Heidelberg high-speed cutting equipment to enable customers to have real-time reporting and scheduling 
capabilities for this manual step in the production process. In use in the marketplace for 30 years, Auto-Count is an industry-leading direct machine 
interface system that has been deployed on sheetfed and web presses, flexo presses, perfect binders, saddle stitchers and folders.

In partnership with Heidelberg, EFI developed an interface from Auto-Count to the Heidelberg POLAR XT guillotine cutting system solutions (using 
various model cutters, joggers and peripherals) that allows Auto-Count to capture data from the systems. This has not been widely implemented 
before and is now ready for customers on a broader scale. 

Modern Litho-Print Co., a full-service provider in Jefferson City, Missouri, operates the complete EFI Monarch suite and utilizes Auto-Count 
throughout their plant. The company is one of the first to beta test this new integration. Jim Tomblinson, plant superintendent, says: “Until now, the 
cutter was a black hole in our workflow since there was no way to schedule this equipment or capture data from it. With the new Auto-Count 
integration to our POLAR 137 XT, we’re able to obtain and track job information and operator productivity, and schedule the cutter in our overall 
workflow. This scheduling capability is especially useful for large jobs with multiple versions.”  

“Interfacing and capturing data from postpress equipment is often talked about, but seldom put into action and working practice. Modern Litho’s 
vision to connect the POLAR cutting system with EFI Auto-Count brings data capturing for this segment to a new level,” says Rob Kuehl, director 
of product management, postpress OEM for Heidelberg USA, Inc.   

“EFI Auto-Count has been delivering real-time production intelligence to print providers for years, and the new integration capability with 
Heidelberg further enables our customers to improve operations and increase profitability,” said Bob Howard, EFI Auto-Count product manager. 
“Businesses will now truly have complete visibility into every step of the job process.” 

The latest version of EFI Auto-Count with the Heidelberg integration will be available in December.

EFI Eliminates the Barriers to Enterprise Mobile Printing with PrintMe Mobile

Industry’s Easiest-to-Use, Easiest-to-Deploy Mobile Print Solution Lets Business Users Print the Way They Want from Apple, Android and 
Blackberry Devices

EFI, a world leader in customer-focused digital printing innovation, today announced PrintMe® Mobile, a mobile print solution that is breaking 
down the barriers to printing from tablets and smartphones in businesses. PrintMe Mobile is a cost-effective, scalable and secure on-premises 
mobile printing software solution that is easy to use, deploy, support and manage. Users don’t have to download any software to their Apple, 
Android, Blackberry and other tablets and smartphones to print on any networked printer. IT departments can install PrintMe Mobile and deliver 
mobile printing on any printer connected to the network in as little as 20 minutes (view demo here).

“The tablet phenomenon in the enterprise will only continue to gain momentum,” said Tim Bajarin, president of Creative Strategies, a Silicon Valley-
based technology consulting firm. “As devices become a more widespread business tool, there will be a natural need to support printing. EFI is 
getting out ahead of this enterprise IT requirement with PrintMe Mobile.”

Research shows that two-thirds of businesses are adopting tablets in 2011(1) and 65 percent of companies are adding five or more new mobile 
apps in 2011(2). This growth in smart device usage is also driving demand for the ability to print from mobile devices. According to a February 
2011 report from InfoTrends, 56 percent of CIOs are considering implementing a mobile print solution(3). Unfortunately, no true enterprise-class 
mobile print solution to date has addressed both the end-user and IT challenges for printing from mobile devices. Solutions have been costly or 
complex to implement and manage, and printouts do not always look the way a user expects them to look. 

EFI PrintMe Mobile shields end users from the technological complexity of mobile printing and lets them solely experience the benefits. This 
simplicity and flexibility eliminates end-user frustration, and improves user efficiency and productivity in the workplace. Users are not required to 
leave the application in which they are working in order to print. PrintMe Mobile uniquely enables all printers on an enterprise network to be 
capable of direct wireless printing from Apple iPads and iPhones. The solution is printer and device agnostic, integrates seamlessly into a 
company’s network infrastructure without impacting network security policies, and supports both new and legacy printing infrastructure. With high-
fidelity file conversion, PrintMe Mobile preserves fonts and layouts so that printed documents look like they should. 

“We’ve addressed the two largest barriers to adoption for mobile device printing in businesses today – ease of deployment and ease of use,” said 
Toby Weiss, general manager of the Fiery business unit and senior vice president at EFI. “With PrintMe Mobile, IT departments can increase user 
productivity, reduce help desk headaches and achieve hero status with a growing number of mobile device users in businesses of any size. EFI is 
the only major mobile print provider that is exclusively focused on helping customers gain the maximum value out of their existing print 
infrastructure.”

PrintMe Mobile enables users to print based on their work style with three flexible ways of printing from mobile devices, without installing printer 
drivers. Options for printing include:

·         Direct to Print: enables Apple and Android devices to print directly to any existing printer on the network through the company’s secure Wi-
Fi network. 

·         Email to Print: allows users to print an email, including all attached files, by simply sending or forwarding an email.

·         Release to Print: protects security and confidentiality by holding the print job until the user releases the file with a retrieval code. The user 
controls when and where the file is printed so personnel, financial or other sensitive documents don’t sit in the printer tray unattended. 

PrintMe Mobile is built on proven EFI technologies. EFI first introduced a direct-to-print feature for Apple iPad and iPhones on its Fiery Driven™ 
printers and multifunction peripherals (MFPs) from Canon, Konica Minolta, Kyocera Mita, Ricoh and Xerox. EFI PrintMe, a cloud-based printing 
service, launched 10 years ago and has thousands of installations worldwide with millions of pages printed.

Pricing and Availability
A full-featured version of EFI PrintMe Mobile software is available for download and free 90-day trial at www.efi.com/printmemobile. The estimated 
MSRP for PrintMe Mobile is USD $500 per printer for a one-time perpetual license for unlimited users and printouts. The first year of support and 
maintenance is included. Contact sales at 800-875-7117.

20 years, with more than 1.7 million Fiery servers sold worldwide.
 
IDEAlliance Digital Press Certification is a certification program developed to certify that a specific combination of digital print engine, controller 
and paper meets stringent color reprographic standards. Fiery servers, combined with the engines from these partners, meet or exceed established
industry tolerances for excellence in the areas of colorimetric accuracy, uniformity, repeatability, durability, and registration. Digital Press 
Certification is the only certification program for digital presses in the U.S.

“EFI is proud to be the first company to earn multiple Digital Press Certifications, leveraging our advanced Fiery color management technology and 
our close working relationships with the leading engine manufacturers,” said Toby Weiss, senior vice president of EFI and general manager of the 
Fiery business group. “Fiery technology has always been focused on exceeding customer expectations for quality and reliability, so it’s fitting that 
we have earned these stringent certifications.”
 
Printing with a Fiery-driven digital print system that has achieved Digital Press Certification allows print shop owners to assure print buyers that their 
presswork complies with a recognized industry standard and has the repeatability sophisticated print buyers require. By producing work in this 
fashion, the shop is better able to compete and market its print and other service offerings to an ever more demanding print buyer community.
 
Specifically, the following Fiery server and engine combinations have received Digital Press Certification:

Fiery imagePRESS Server A1200/A2200/A3200 and Canon imagePRESS C7010VP/C6010VP/C6010.

Fiery E-41 and E-81 and Ricoh Pro C901/C901S. 
Xerox EX Print Server, Powered by Fiery, and Xerox 770 Digital Color Press. 
 
(Note: see the certifications on the IDEAlliance website to download the Application Data Sheet describing the test conditions.)
 
Complying with Digital Press Certification precision is achievable in environments that maintain strict operational control procedures for the print 
engine and EFI Fiery server, monitor color conformance on a daily basis, and have the tools to re-calibrate print systems. Tools to profile the 
printing system for a specific stock in the shop environment such as Fiery Color Profiler Suite are also required. The Digital Press Certification 
program represents compliance with the GRACoL reference print condition for commercial printing established in 2006 and by extension the G7 
calibration methodology used as the basis for calibrating a conventional press to simulate the GRACoL reference.

EFI's New Jetrion 4900 Offers End-to-End Digital Label Production From Pre-Press to Finishing

Streamlines Short-Run Label Jobs, Increasing Efficiency and Profitability --

EFI yesterday launched the Jetrion 4900, a revolutionary UV inkjet digital printing system that combines high-quality digital printing with in-line laser 
finishing for label converters. The new system makes short-run digital label jobs even more efficient and profitable by eliminating set-up time, 
substrate waste and inventory requirements associated with the label finishing process. It produces eye-catching, durable labels on an array of 
substrates.
 
The Jetrion 4900 is on display for the first time at EFI Stand 9H55 at Labelexpo Europe, 28 September 2011 – 1 October 2011.
 
"EFI's Jetrion 4900 is a robust industrial press that is ideal for label converters looking to transfer high-cost, short- and medium-run jobs to digital 
systems, from print file straight through to finished roll," said Sean Skelly, vice president and general manager of EFI Jetrion. "It produces top-
quality labels with cost-savings that go straight to the bottom line, a must in today's business environment where lean manufacturing and efficiency 
are required to compete."
 
By integrating printing and finishing for the entire production run, the Jetrion 4900 offers label converters substantial savings with no additional 
plates, dies, change overs and make-ready labor needed. By just migrating existing flexo jobs, the system can easily generate savings of more 
than 1,000 euros a day.
 
EFI's Jetrion 4900 is a versatile system that combines the proven performance of EFI's market-leading Jetrion UV digital presses with an industrial 
web finishing and transport system. The Jetrion system prints four-color and highly opaque white UV inks in a single pass, delivering flexo-quality 
labels that are heat, cold and chemical resistant, and UL-certified on select substrates.
 
The finishing system features advanced, high-powered dual lasers from SEI Laser Converting, offering comprehensive capabilities such as die 
cutting, slitting, and backscoring on a wide range of substrates from paper, foil and film to specialty stock. It runs standard flexo rolls and offers 
inline and offline modes for special jobs.
 
Brian Rhoades, vice president of operations for US-based Consolidated Products, Inc., says the Jetrion 4900 fits right in line with its lean label 
operation. "We just quoted a job for one million labels with 25 different SKUs [Stock Keeping Units]," he said. "How many set-ups will we do to 
complete the job from start to finish? One. EFI's Jetrion 4900 means real savings, quality labels and peace of mind our customers can count on."
 
"Demand for targeted, variable label content continues to rise, and our system allows converters to keep these frequently outsourced short-run 
jobs — and profits — in house," added Skelly.
 
As with all EFI products, system users benefit from the power of EFI integrated workflow and color management software, as well as its global 
infrastructure for customer training and rapid-response support anywhere EFI products are sold.

Named Fiery System 10, the new platform delivers documents faster than ever before, along with the latest system calibration technology to 
guarantee color consistency at all times, tighter integration with the printer’s finishing options, and greater flexibility and control.
 
Toby Weiss, general manager of the Fiery business unit and senior vice president of EFI, said: “EFI has been a pioneer in digital print technology 
for the past two decades, and continues to lead the technology advancement of digital front-end controllers with today’s platform launch. System 
10 is the fastest, most robust ever, and is poised to bring amazing results to demanding customers worldwide. Fiery technology is now the most 
integrated platform in the industry, with connectivity to business process automation solutions, production workflow systems, and direct mobile 
printing to deliver a complete solution from creation to print.”
 
“EFI’s Fiery System 10 release provides a wide collection of powerful and user-friendly tools for print workflow,” said Jim Hamilton, group director of 
production hardware at InfoTrends. “System 10 is a demonstration of EFI’s continued leadership position in front- end systems for production 
digital print.”
 
Fiery System 10 provides advanced capabilities to customers in four key areas: color, usability, performance and integration.
 
Color – Calibration Features and Powerful Visual Editor
 
A major enhancement to Fiery’s color management system is the new Fiery Calibrator that makes the calibration process more effective, 
integrated, and easier to use. The new Job-based Calibration increases calibration accuracy and effectiveness because calibration is customized 
for a specific job and the associated media and profiles. Because calibration is critical and needs to be performed routinely, Fiery System 10 has 
incorporated a “Calibration Guard” to provide calibration status, warnings, and alerts to encourage calibration to take place and ensure color 
quality.
 
The Fiery Image Enhance Visual Editor (IEVE) is a powerful feature newly available on the Command WorkStation® print job management and 
user interface software that ships with Fiery System 10. IEVE allows editing each image in a job without going back to the native design file, 
saving time and reducing costs. IEVE simplifies the editing process, providing an interactive toolset for optimizing image appearance and applying 
automatic per-image corrections, to ensure photos look their best. This tool also gives users a manual control to individually adjust brightness, 
contrast, highlights, shadows, color balance, sharpness and to make red-eye corrections on any image within a job.
 
Usability – Command WorkStation and Mixed Finishing Sets Simplify Complex Jobs
 
The latest version of Command WorkStation (http://w3.efi.com/cws5/) software is now even easier to use. Common tasks are more accessible 
and required job information more readily available to operators to increase productivity.
 
In addition, a Mixed Finishing Sets feature in the SeeQuence Compose option is now available to simplify complex jobs in high-production 
environments. With the new Fiery Mixed Finishing Sets (and an inline finisher attached to the print engine), users can specify multiple finishing 
requirements among the various subsets within a single job to produce completely finished jobs, minimizing labor.

Performance – Support of New VDP Standard
 
EFI has a long-standing commitment to supporting industry standards, and Fiery System 10 has a number of enhanced Variable Data Print (VDP) 
features. Most notably, it supports PDF/VT-1, a new standard developed by ISO (International Organization for Standardization) for VDP data 
exchange. PDF/VT-1 brings the benefits of a PDF workflow to VDP, helping customers increase production efficiency with capabilities such as 
late stage exchange of critical variable content. By folding seamlessly into existing PDF-based prepress operations, PDF/VT-1 enables a single, 
common PDF print production workflow for all job types.
 
Integration – Direct Wi-Fi Printing for Today’s Mobile Workforce; MIS and Workflow Connectivity
 
An ideal solution for corporate CRDs and offices with Fiery-driven MFPs, System 10 has built-in technology that enables direct mobile printing from 
Apple iOS devices to the Fiery-driven printer. Wi-Fi enabled Apple iOS devices (such as iPhones and iPads) will automatically discover any 
System 10 Fiery-driven printer on the same network inside the corporate firewall. Employees can simply select a listed printer and touch “print” with 
no need to download an app or install printer drivers.
 
“EFI's embedded support for mobile printing from iOS devices is another example of how mobile printing is moving from a ‘billable service’ to a 
standard feature for applications behind the firewall,” said Robert Palmer, director, Managed Document Practice at Lyra Research.
 
Besides integration with mobile devices, Fiery servers are a great fit with EFI’s market-leading portfolio of print MIS and workflow solutions, 
including PrintSmith™, Pace™, Radius and Monarch management systems and the EFI Digital StoreFront® web-to-print platform.
 
Fiery System 10 further expands its industry integration capability with Agfa Apogee Prepress Workflow, and the upcoming release of Kodak 
Prinergy Workflow, to enable prepress workflow users to submit jobs to and manage one or more Fiery-controlled digital print engines right from the 
same familiar user interface. These prepress workflow integrations create a single workflow to serve blended production, reducing operational 
costs and boosting production performance.
 
Fiery System 10 is available now. The first OEM printer brands that use Fiery System 10 will be announced soon.

EFI and Xerox Bring the Full Power of the Web to Print Providers

Digital StoreFront Joins Fiery Servers in Xerox’s EFI Portfolio

EFI today announced it has teamed with Xerox Corporation to provide customers worldwide with the EFI Digital StoreFront™ (DSF) Web-to-Print 
solution, giving print providers a new front door to their business. Available first in the United States, Xerox Corporation’s direct sales team and 
channel partners are now offering the award-winning solution. 

DSF is one of the leading Web-to-Print products for the printing industry, with more than 3,000 printing sites worldwide. DSF is used by both 
commercial printing establishments as well as in-plants, providing a digital on-ramp for customers to connect with their preferred print provider. The 
solution eases print job specification and file handling for the customer while automating workflow at the printer. With DSF, printers can provide 
proactive job status via the Web and customers are given better visibility into the production process via online job tracking. With integration with 
XMPie®, a Xerox Company, customers have a powerful variable data printing and cross-media personalization tool available as an optional 
module. 

“We recognize the market demand for robust and user-friendly Web-to-Print offerings,” said Elizabeth Fox, vice president, Solutions Business Unit, 
Xerox Corporation. “Paired with Xerox’s digital printing expertise, DSF brings the benefits of Web-to-Print to users who, in turn, can quickly respond 
and address their customers’ needs.”

The Southwest Region of Pepsi Beverages Company recently upgraded their production center with a new Fiery-driven Xerox DC5000™ Digital 
Press and Digital StoreFront, relying on the expertise of Arizona Office Technologies (AOT), a full-service document technology provider. More 
than 1,500 sales people utilize the Pepsi production center for Point-of-Sale (POS) pieces of various sizes and shapes.

“Before DSF, sales people were sending job requests in via email, ‘post it’ notes, and the like, and swamping the print shop operator with calls,” 
said Peter Tunkey, customer marketing manager at Pepsi Beverages Company.  “Now with DSF, each sales person can log-on and see the 
various POS jobs relating to their accounts, as well as a list of other standardized printing projects, and they can quickly submit orders and track 
them online. This has eliminated multiple errors and significantly improved quality and workflow efficiency. Our turnaround has dropped from an 
average of 10 business days to three, enabling us to double our production of items.”

“In today’s highly competitive marketplace, print service providers need to rely on automation to keep costs down and margins high. EFI Digital 
StoreFront enables this automation to begin at the customer’s desktop, allowing providers to successfully extend their services to the Web while 
streamlining their production workflow,” said Marc Olin, senior vice president and general manager of APPS, EFI. “With the powerful sales and 
channel network of Xerox now offering DSF, together with Fiery digital print servers, more print service providers than ever before will benefit from 
this critical business solution.” 

A simple interface allows print customers to submit digital files from their PC or Macintosh computers, view PDF proofs of their documents for 
immediate review and approval, and easily enter their own job specifications for production and finishing. Once that information is entered, DSF 
creates a production job ticket and the file is automatically submitted into the print center's workflow, billing systems, print servers and output 
devices. 

DSF provides integration with EFI’s Fiery and MIS solutions – the system creates an “end-to-end” content and commerce workflow from the 
desktop of the printer’s customer directly to Monarch, Pace™, Radius and PrintSmith™ print management systems, to Fiery controllers for digital page 
production, and to VUTEk®, Rastek™ and Jetrion® printers with Fiery XF RIPs for digital inkjet production.

EFI is a Xerox Business Innovation Partner.

several options with the goal of finding an integrated workflow solution, and EFI came out on top.

“Our extensive review led us back to EFI, and our recent experience at the Connect users’ conference sealed the deal,” said Brendan Connors, 
CEO. “As an industry leader, MOSAIC's passion is to exceed our customers’ expectations. The EFI Pace platform, including the Auto-Count and 
PrintFlow capabilities, will improve our customer experience and help reduce the steps needed to deliver our products and services. MOSAIC 
Pace due to the mobile and web accessibility as well as the focus on workflow optimization.”  

In addition, the company is moving to the Digital StoreFront (DSF) web-to-print platform, replacing their current system. “DSF will provide us with 
the tools to create a customer experience full of flexibility, ease of use, and speed to market,” continues Connors. 

Another unique advantage of the EFI suite is integration with SmartLinc Process Shipper, which Connors notes “will provide MOSAIC with an 
integrated system to add efficiency to our process and up-to-date information to our clients.”

“We’re excited about our newly expanded relationship with MOSAIC, who understands the powerful advantages of implementing a suite of

New EFI Fiery Command WorkStation Raises the Bar on Color Output and Productivity for Fiery Customers

Industry’s Leading Print Job Management Software Enhances Image Quality and Imposition Workflows 

EFI, a world leader in customer-focused digital printing innovation, today made available the latest version of its Fiery® Command WorkStation® 
print job management and user interface software, with all-new features to improve image quality, color output, usability, and imposition workflows. 
Available to most Fiery users worldwide*, Fiery Command WorkStation version 5.3 can be downloaded at no cost at efi.com/cws5.

“Fiery Command WorkStation is the recognized industry standard for production printing job management technology, serving as the window into 
the entire printing workflow,” said John Henze, vice president of Fiery marketing, EFI. “Known for its intuitive interface, Command WorkStation 
gives businesses a productivity boost for production printing. It enables seasoned pros to more quickly produce even higher quality output, while 
making it easy for less experienced users to produce professional looking documents in just a few clicks.”

The Fiery Image Enhance Visual Editor (IEVE) is a powerful industry-first feature newly available in this version of Command WorkStation. IEVE 
allows for editing of each image in a job without going back to the native design file, saving time and simplifying the editing process. It provides an
interactive toolset for optimizing image appearance and applying per-image corrections, to ensure photos look their best. This tool gives users the 
control to adjust brightness, contrast, highlights, shadows, color balance, sharpness and to make red-eye corrections on any image within a job. 
Users can save preferred settings as presets to apply to other images or other jobs on the Fiery, ensuring consistent and optimized output.

The newest version of Command WorkStation includes imposition workflow improvements that make operators more productive. Enhancements 
include the addition of a user-defined finish size workflow in Fiery SeeQuence Impose (an add-on module) to honor the designer’s intent by 
automatically detecting the trim box and bleed box defined in the source document. Now, operators gain greater control and can get the job done 
faster with fewer errors.

Another key addition in Command WorkStation is integration with the industry leading profiling and color management software, EFI Color Profiler 
Suite. This new integration makes users even more productive since they don’t have to leave the Command WorkStation interface to use Color 
Profiler Suite tools to diagnose profile problems, compare color gamuts, and create and edit profiles. This saves valuable time and eliminates 
guesswork.

This latest version also has enhancements that make the software easier to use, which further support the ongoing goal of Command 
WorkStation – to make common tasks more accessible and required job information readily available to operators so they can be more productive.

EFI Wraps Record-Setting Connect Users’ Conference

 EFI, a world leader in customer-focused digital printing innovation, completed its 12th annual users’ conference last week at the 
Wynn resort in Las Vegas with approximately 1,000 customers in attendance, a record number of partner sponsors, and 150 educational sessions.

EFI also announced the 2012 Connect conference details – the event will return to the Wynn resort April 10-13, 2012. Advance registration is now 
available at efi.com/connect with special registration rates (good through Aug. 31, 2011).

“We had an incredibly successful Connect last week, with the largest group of customers ever taking advantage of classes, user group meetings,

EFI Aids in Japan Relief Efforts with Corporate and Employee Donations

EFI, a world leader in customer-focused digital printing innovation, today announced the company's $45,000 donation to the Red Cross for the 
Japan earthquake and tsunami relief efforts. This amount was generated by a 30-day employee donation matching program EFI put in place 
specifically for the relief fund.

"Our hearts go out to the Japanese people, who have shown such strength and resilience in the face of tragedy," said Guy Gecht, EFI's CEO. 
"With our EFI office in Tokyo and several long-standing strategic partnerships with Japan-based companies, our employees worldwide have

EFI Launches Small Business Edition of its Radius ERP Software for Packaging Companies

EFI Adds Business Process Management for Corrugated Packaging in New Radius 12.2 Enterprise Software 

EFI, a world leader in customer-focused  printing and packaging industry innovation, today launched a new version of its Radius packaging 
MIS/ERP solution targeted at the small-to-medium business segment. The software is an entry-level, fully integrated automation solution ideal for 
single-site label, flexible packaging, converting and folding carton companies.

Built on the powerful Radius Enterprise Edition used by larger packaging businesses, the new EFI Radius Small Business Edition comes with a 
standard suite of modules designed with a streamlined user interface to ensure smaller companies can quickly and easily use the software to 
improve efficiencies and simplify workflows.

“We’ve taken our market-leading Radius enterprise solution used by larger organizations and adapted it to the unique needs of the small-to-
medium business market, enabling more packaging companies to benefit from a world class solution specifically designed to integrate and 
manage their unique business processes,” said David Taylor, general manager of EFI Radius. “Smaller, single-site packaging companies have 
been asking for a more entry-level version of our ERP system to take their operations to the next level, and we’re excited to fill this need for them.”

Modules in the Small Business Edition include Estimating, Tooling Management, Inventory, Purchasing, Scheduling, Shop Floor Data Collection 
and DMI (Direct Machine Interface), accounting, and the unique one-stop Order Manager.  With the goal of making the system as efficient as 
possible, the Order Manager module is a single source location to obtain and perform job level processes, from production estimates to shipping 
and everything in between, without having to access multiple modules.   

New Radius Enterprise Version Launched with Strong Corrugated Support
Besides this portfolio expansion, today EFI released an updated version of its enterprise edition of Radius, with the addition of estimating for 
corrugated packaging, capabilities to handle complex carton processing, and integration with Esko Artwork.

The latest version includes a new Estimating Module for corrugated carton production. A new approach to estimating corrugated cartons, Radius 
Enterprise now allows the user to define the various container styles, tooling, flutes and types that are unique to corrugated cartons. This provides 
the user with a method of constructing relatively simple representations of the sets they are producing, and allows them to break up the sets into 
manageable, logical units.

AllpakTrojan, a high-end commercial printing and innovative packaging solution provider in Renton, Wash., recently became the first user of the 
Corrugated Module. “Our corrugated carton facility went live on Radius with the new Corrugated Module in January,” said Drew Sanders, IT 
manager. “Before Radius, we struggled with the workflow for our highly complex jobs. Now, not only have we streamlined the processes from 
estimating to production in our corrugated facility, we have streamlined our interplant communication and workflow as well, bringing the full power 
and flexibility of Radius to our entire organization. Many of our jobs run between our carton and corrugated facilities, which previously created a lot
of administrative overhead. Now the processing of a job is seamless between plants because Radius transfers work from one plant to the other.”

In addition, the new complex carton features include improvements to the system workflow to enhance handling of complex assembled and 
unassembled multi-part cartons, as well as estimating enhancements and simplification of order and billing for these multi-part cartons.

Also with the new version release, there is now a JDF interface between EFI Radius and Esko Artwork’s pre-press system called Automation 
Engine (AE), available now for self-adhesive labels. When jobs are created in Radius, the information is passed to AE for pre-press operations and 
down through the workflow, and job details are passed back into Radius to update the records accordingly. This streamlines the workflow, greatly 
reduces errors, and improves productivity.

EFI Radius is a powerful ERP software platform designed to enable end-to-end, integrated business process management from order inquiry to 
cash receipt for label, flexible packaging, converting and folding carton businesses. EFI Radius offers a high degree of flexibility to manage the 
unique requirements of printing and packaging companies to help them optimize and automate their sales estimating; production planning; 
scheduling; materials management; shop floor data collection; job costing; and time attendance. It also offers comprehensive and intuitive 
reporting and business intelligence capabilities.

WorkflowOne Selects EFI to Automate U.S. Operations and Build Foundation for Future Growth

Company Selects EFI Monarch and EFI Digital StoreFront to Provide Integrated Environment with Fiery-driven Digital Printers
 
EFI, a world leader in customer-focused digital printing innovation, today announced that WorkflowOne, a leading provider of print management, 
marketing and distribution services, has selected EFI Monarch and EFI Digital StoreFront® to automate and unify its 15 U.S. locations. 
WorkflowOne is already relying on Fiery®-driven digital printers in numerous locations to deliver blazing speed and high-quality color.

WorkflowOne provides print production and document management, billing and customer communication, marketing solutions and promotional 
strategies, and fulfillment and distribution services for North America’s most admired businesses and brands. Its base of 12,000 clients includes 
leaders in the healthcare, financial services, manufacturing, retail, non-profit and service sectors.

As a result of several acquisitions and an extensive manufacturing network, WorkflowOne was in need of a single, unified manufacturing platform 
that would provide visibility and portability, streamline operations, and integrate numerous systems. After a comprehensive 14-month evaluation, 
the company selected EFI Monarch – a flexible, powerful, intelligent, and automated solution – as its print manufacturing management system.

“EFI Monarch met all of the ‘must have’s’ we were looking for in a new system, with strong out-of-the box features and the ability to create custom 
integrations to other key platforms,” said Tom Dailey, vice president of operations at WorkflowOne. “Only EFI has the combination of a robust 
platform that is highly configurable and a roadmap for evolving the product that will ensure we can meet the future needs of our customers. And 
with integration to our Fiery-driven color printers, we’ll deliver a state-of-the-art, integrated environment.”

WorkflowOne was already an EFI Hagen™ user in several locations, and is now moving all 15 U.S. printing facilities to the core Monarch system. 
The company will roll-out the balance of the Monarch productivity modules along with Digital StoreFront, EFI’s award-winning web-to-print 
platform. Comments Dailey, “We chose Digital StoreFront because of its functional integration to Monarch, its adaptability within our existing 
storefront solutions, the rules-based specification gathering, and real-time estimating and quoting capabilities.” 

In addition, WorkflowOne is integrating Monarch with Fiery-driven digital printers from Xerox and KODAK’s PRINERGY Software, and the KODAK 
INSITE Prepress Portal to gain efficiencies and fully automate their pre-press workflow.

“We’re confident we made the right choice, and view EFI as a partner in the future success of our business,” said Ernie Miller, executive vice 
president of global operations. “When fully integrated across our print facilities, we believe we’ll have the most comprehensive solution in the 
industry and a true foundation for growth. Not only will this greatly streamline and bring added efficiency to our internal operations, but our network 
of strategic partners will be able to take advantage of these benefits as well.”

“With their decision to implement EFI products, WorkflowOne has taken a critical step in the transformation of their business efficiency and 
productivity,” said Marc Olin, senior vice president and general manager of APPS, EFI. “We’re certain they will realize significant improvements 
across the board, most importantly in their ability to exceed customer expectations.”

EFI and Ricoh Advance Office Productivity and Color Quality with New Aficio MP Multifunction Products

EFI, a world leader in customer-focused digital printing innovation, today announced Fiery® color controllers are now available for the Ricoh Aficio 
MP series of multifunction products (MFPs). The versatile, color Ricoh MFPs combined with the latest Fiery technology provide higher user 
productivity and ease-of-use with more consistent color and the security features required for demanding office environments. The Fiery E-3200 
and Fiery E-5200 controllers are available for the Ricoh Aficio MP C3001/C3501 and MP C4501/C5501 MFPs respectively. 

“The new Aficio MFP Series together with the industry-leading Fiery technology from EFI make it affordable for businesses to bring color into their 
workflow, enabling them to complete more jobs in-house while actually reducing paper usage and waste,” said Shun Sato, senior vice president of 
marketing, Ricoh Americas Corporation. “Fiery controllers also provide exceptional color output and must-have security features.”

Increased Productivity and Lower Costs
The Fiery controller’s powerful yet simple user interface enables jobs to be set-up faster with fewer clicks. In addition, the Aficio MP MFPs support 
Fiery VUE, EFI’s desktop printing application that makes publishing of professional-looking finished documents fast and simple for all office 
workers. Fiery VUE, available from EFI as a free download, allows users to interact with a document on-screen in 3D to sculpt and then preview 
exactly how the finished document will look when printed, thus lowering cost by saving time and reducing waste. With a single click, users can 
create eye-catching booklets, presentations and other documents in-house, reducing the need for and cost of outsourcing color print jobs.  

“As a long-standing partner of Ricoh’s, we’re pleased to bring the power of Fiery technology to the new Aficio MP Series to give office workgroups
and mobile workers an outstanding choice to meet their printing needs,” said John Henze, vice president of Fiery marketing, EFI. “We believe 
Fiery VUE will have a huge impact on customers’ ability to easily create professional-looking documents, giving them back precious time to focus
on other important tasks. Mobile worker productivity and convenience also increase with network software from EFI that allows printing directly 
from an iPhone or iPad to Fiery-driven Ricoh printers.”

Better Color
The standard Fiery ColorWise® color management technology makes it easy for office users to achieve accurate, consistent, rich color every 
time. The Fiery Spot-On option ensures the best match of PANTONE® colors and standardized corporate color palettes, ensuring brand identities 
and other images print correctly. 

Security
To meet security requirements of enterprise environments, the Fiery Secure Erase feature automatically removes all traces of deleted print files 
stored on the Fiery hard drive. All Fiery controllers are easily deployed in Windows and Macintosh environments and support industry standard 
networking protocols.

EFI Executes on ERP/MIS Strategy with PrintStream Acquisition

Leading Provider of Print ERP/MIS Solutions Starts Next Phase of Industry Consolidation

Electronics For Imaging, Inc., a world leader in customer-focused digital printing innovation, today announced that it has acquired Streamline 
Development, LLC (“Streamline”). Streamline is the provider of PrintStream ERP/MIS software focused on mailing and fulfillment services for the 
printing industry. 

“As our market continues to evolve, we are committed to providing a portfolio of industry leading products allowing customers to choose the right 
solution for their environment with the consistency of delivery needed for long term success,” said Marc Olin, GM of EFI’s Advanced Professional 
Print Software division (“APPS”).  

The addition of Streamline’s customer base and core technology of PrintStream, will allow EFI an even greater focus on providing the industry’s 
most preferred solutions.

“While PrintStream is the first product we have acquired as part of our new consolidation strategy, we will be actively seeking out additional Print 
ERP/MIS solutions world-wide to consolidate.” added Olin. “By concentrating our investment and efforts on Monarch, Radius, Pace and 
PrintSmith, we can insure that the largest development and support teams in the industry are delivering the best possible solutions to give our 
clients the best chance to succeed in today’s challenging business environment.”

“The PrintStream team and I are very excited about joining EFI, a leader in ERP/MIS,” added Laurence Snyder, CEO of Streamline. “We look 
forward to sharing our expertise in the areas of mailing and fulfillment requirements to enhance EFI products.”

PrintStream (now “EFI PrintStream”) has several key features and technologies including direct mail and warehouse management/fulfillment tools. 
EFI will leverage these strengths by offering the PrintStream Warehouse Management/Fulfillment module as an add-on module to a number of 
EFI’s existing ERP/MIS products. In addition, Laurence Snyder, the foremost expert on mailing and fulfillment requirements in the printing industry, 
as well as the rest of the PrintStream team, are now part of the EFI family, and will assist in the development of EFI’s core platforms going forward. 
EFI PrintStream will continue to be supported, but no longer offered to new customers. Instead, EFI will offer new clients these four ERP/MIS 
platforms:

·       EFI Monarch – for larger single and multi-plant operations looking for full workflow automation with specialization in publication, book, direct 
mail, transactional and large commercial printing operations;

·       EFI Pace – for mid-market digital, offset, hybrid, wide format and specialty printing operations;

·       EFI PrintSmith – for on-demand, copy shop and small commercial operations;

·       EFI Radius – for labels, folding cartons and flexible packaging operations.

EFI has historically supported all of its ERP/MIS offerings for many years even after it stopped actively selling them. For example, the PSI, Logic 
and Covalent software systems are all legacy ERP/MIS applications that EFI continues to support. For PrintStream clients that wish to move to a 
new platform, EFI will be offering special incentives to encourage them to transition to one of our four platforms, as well as transition assistance to 
help make the move as seamless as possible. 

The EFI annual user conference, Connect, will now include a track for PrintStream customers, covering detailed roadmap information about 
upcoming releases and what new features and functions are planned over the coming year. Connect takes place April 26-29 at Wynn Las Vegas 
and more information is available at efi.com/connect.

Cloud Printing Pioneer Launches Next Generation EFI PrintMe Mobile Printing Solution

Mobile Users Can Print Anytime, Anywhere with PrintMe “Cloud Aware” Printers 

EFI, a world leader in customer-focused digital printing innovation, today announced the next generation of the PrintMe® mobile printing solution 
that empowers mobile workers to print from any Internet-enabled device, including laptops and mobile devices such as iPhone®, iPad™, 
BlackBerry® and Google™ Android, anywhere at any time.

Launched nine years ago today, EFI PrintMe was the world’s first* cloud-based printing platform that enabled mobile workers to upload their 
documents to the PrintMe cloud and securely print them on any PrintMe-enabled printer. The solution has thousands of placements worldwide, 
with millions of pages printed, making it easy to print on the go, whether it is guest printing in an enterprise, printing from a hotel room or airport, or 
just using a mobile device on the street.   

Now, with the launch of the next generation PrintMe mobile printing solution, EFI has enhanced the capabilities of PrintMe’s “cloud aware” printers 
with powerful document conversion capabilities, unique smartphone apps, a new print driver, and SDK’s for developers who wish to add printing 
capabilities to their applications. The PrintMe iPhone application will be available in early November, enabling users to print airline boarding 
passes, web pages, photos and more from their iPhone, iTouch or iPad. The application for BlackBerry phones will be available in December. 

“Long before the explosion of smartphones and the current buzz about cloud-based services, EFI brought to market a cutting-edge mobile printing 
technology that has enabled millions of pages to be printed,” said Toby Weiss, general manager of Fiery and senior vice president, EFI. “Now, 
we’re bringing this same functionality to business professionals who want to print from any application, on any mobile device, to any printer 
wherever they are. There’s no need to buy special printers or wait years for these features to become available, since PrintMe works with any 
PrintMe-enabled printer today.”

PrintMe technology has caught the attention of EFI’s long-standing OEM partners. Xerox recently announced a portfolio of mobile print offerings, 
including PrintMe, as part of its mobile print portfolio.

“As a long term partner with EFI, we intend to leverage PrintMe technology to extend our portfolio of Xerox Mobile Solutions,” said Elizabeth Fox, 
vice president, Solutions Business Unit at Xerox Corporation. “EFI’s cloud-based printing will benefit many Xerox customers who are increasingly 
utilizing their mobile devices for their everyday work.”

In the early days of the original PrintMe service, the hospitality market was the largest adopter of the offering. Today, hotel and resort partners 
continue to support and trust the PrintMe solution.

“We have been actively using the EFI PrintMe service across 100 Extended Stay Deluxe properties since 2005,” said Ira Greenfield, vice 
president of technology at Extended Stay Hotels. “While others are just now talking about it, our guests have been using PrintMe to print from their 
laptops for years, and appreciate having a reliable, secure, and easy to use solution for printing on the go.”

“Cloud printing services are the next digital printing breakthrough, changing the business model from costly and limited ownership of individual 
printers to flexible anytime, anywhere access to printed communications,” said Pete Basiliere, research director, Gartner Imaging and Print 
Services. “Cloud printing services offer several quantifiable and qualitative benefits including reduced operating and capital costs, lower 
environmental impact and increased productivity, especially for mobile and remote employees.”

With the explosion of smartphones over the last few years, now more than ever, mobile workers need to be able to access and print their 
documents on the go. PrintMe is a convenient, easy and secure solution that allows mobile printing in businesses, coffee shops, airports, print for 
pay providers and any public gathering location that has a PrintMe “cloud aware” printer. 

How it Works
With EFI PrintMe, users don’t need to connect cables, download software or install complex hardware components. They simply forward their 
document  to print@printme.com or go to www.PrintMe.com through any Internet-enabled device, and upload their document. Users are then 
given a document ID number to retrieve the document on-demand at the printer, so materials stay confidential. PrintMe works with most printers 
from all leading manufacturers. The flexible solution can handle most document formats including Microsoft® Word, PowerPoint® and Excel®, as 
well as HTML, JPEG and PDF.

Users also can print from any desktop application using the “EFI PrintMe” driver, receiving a document ID from the driver dialog box and/or email.

EFI Enhances Eco and Productivity Features of Fiery VUE Application, Making Professional Office Printing Even Easier

Intuitive, 3D “Visual Print Application” Makes Office Document Production Simple, Cost-Effective and Environmentally-Friendly

EFI™, a world leader in customer-focused digital printing innovation, today released enhancements to the Fiery® VUE application that broaden its 
green printing features and provides performance and feature improvements. Launched in January of this year, and downloaded by thousands of 
users, Fiery VUE is an innovative print application that makes production of professional-looking finished documents fast and easy for all office 
workers. 

Ideal for any functional group across an enterprise including sales, marketing, finance, legal, HR and training, Fiery VUE takes all the complexity 
out of producing professional-looking documents. Before printing, any office user can interact with the document on-screen in 3D to sculpt and 
then preview exactly how the finished document will look. 

“With a single click, Fiery VUE allows all office workers to create eye-catching documents while improving productivity, reducing waste and 
lowering overall costs,” said John Henze, vice president of Fiery marketing, EFI. “Since its debut, Fiery VUE has been focused on helping 
companies shrink their eco-footprint, and with this new version, we’ve added even more features to support green initiatives. Our patent-pending 
Green Books technology has been a huge hit with users, and we’re confident the overall enhancements we’ve made will really make this a ‘must 
have’ application in the office.”

With this release, EFI has enriched Fiery VUE’s “eco” features which include Green Books and the new, built-in Green Printing Statistics. Green 
Books are unique booklet templates included in the application that enable users to create and design pamphlets or booklets with just a few 
clicks. By using Green Books, users can reduce paper usage by up to 85 percent when printing out a standard slide presentation and can 
recognize significant cost savings by eliminating unnecessary draft prints. And now, users can even measure their eco-savings with the new 
Green Printing Statistics, which allow them to track paper savings by day, week, month, and year and also shows them how many trees they have 
saved over time.

Company Nurse, a Scottsdale, Ariz. provider of nurse triage services for workers compensation claims, was an early adopter of the technology 
and is seeing the value of Fiery VUE grow. Angi Hast, project manager, said: “Company Nurse is a small, 20 person business where optimizing 
resources is key to our success. With Fiery VUE, we’re saving $1,600 a month in costs even though we’re printing more documents than ever 
before. We’re also printing smarter and greener – with the preview function and Green Books not only are we saving time, but the environment as 
well.”  

“Fiery VUE is easy to use – it's very simple, graphic interface shows me exactly what I can expect, whether stapled, spiral bound, or laid out 9-up 
on a page,” said Jason Bushman, owner of PostNet in Lafayette, Colo. “The application is a favorite with my staff, since it gives them better 
control without a steep learning curve. When they first saw it, their responses included the words ‘awesome,’ ‘cool,’ and ‘wow!’ They especially 
like the ability to show the client exactly what to expect with the click of a button.”

The new Fiery VUE print driver feature expands a user’s ability to print using Fiery VUE from any desktop application, making it even easier to print
 professional documents using Fiery VUE.  EFI has also added CRD and remote printing capabilities to the application to make it simple for users 
to print Fiery VUE documents to either outsource print providers or to their corporate print shops. This allows Fiery VUE users to take advantage
of finishing and output capabilities that might not be available on their local print device.

How it Works
Fiery VUE is compatible with Microsoft® Word, PowerPoint®, Excel®, and Adobe® Acrobat® applications. Users can launch the software as a 
stand-alone application or conveniently from within Microsoft Office 2003, 2007 or 2010. The Fiery VUE desktop application has a user-friendly 
interface that visually guides office workers through document layout and production. It allows multiple files to be combined into a single 
document, where finishing options such as stapling, binding and hole punch can be selected. Besides English, Fiery VUE is localized in French, 
Italian, German, Spanish, Dutch, Brazilian-Portugese and Japanese.

Fiery VUE is available for download at efi.com/fieryvue. For more information, please contact 800-875-7117.

Combination of Jetrion digital press and innovative, flexible UV inks opens up new flexible packaging and shrink wrap opportunities

EFI™, a world leader in customer-focused digital printing innovation, today was the first to introduce a digital inkjet label printing system with full LED
 UV curing technology for printing on flexible packaging materials. EFI’s Jetrion® 4830LED UV Inkjet System and a newly-developed, flexible ink 
set allows printing on unsupported and heat sensitive materials, including shrink sleeve, opening up new opportunities for label converters in the 
flexible packaging market. Current and future Jetrion 4830 users can fully upgrade their presses to utilize the flexible ink set by retrofitting their 
systems with the new LED lamp technology. 

The low heat and targeted wavelength benefits of LEDs allow full UV ink curing on heat sensitive and other flexible packaging materials that were
previously unsupported with traditional UV-curing methods. Unlike other digital printing systems, there is also no need to pre-coat or pattern-coat
flexible substrates when using the new 4830LED system. Dr. Kenneth Stack, Jetrion’s senior vice president and general manager said, “The 
system was designed to expand short-run printing opportunities beyond traditional label stock to a broader range of flexible packaging materials 
supported only by UV LED curing technology. And in keeping with our commitment to providing our customers with a clear technology migration 
path, the new flexible ink set and LED lamp technology can be retrofitted on any existing Jetrion 4830, eliminating customer concerns about digital 
obsolescence.” 

The Jetrion 4830LED uses a new flexible ink set that produces durable, shrinkable and flexible, and peel-resistant images. “The development of 
our flexible UV LED-curing inks demonstrates EFI Jetrion’s ongoing core competency in ink design, formulation and manufacture. We’re 
committed to bringing innovative ink solutions to market as a result of customer requirements and changes in market dynamics,” continued Dr. 
Stack.

The Jetrion 4830LED is a full color digital label press that handles web widths of up to 9” (229mm) and prints up to 8.3” (210 mm) wide. With its 
grayscale printing capability and speeds of up to 120 fpm (37 mpm), the Jetrion 4830LED is ideal for meeting the most demanding labeling and 
flexible packaging production and image quality requirements.

Xerox, EFI Extend Adobe PDF Print Engine Functionality

Xerox, EFI Extend Adobe PDF Print Engine Functionality to New Xerox Color Presses; Allow More Jobs to 
Flow Through Print Shop

Adobe PDF Print Engine Delivers High Performance and Reliability – Now Integrated with EFI Color Server 
and New Xerox Color Systems

Graphic communications industry leaders Xerox Corporation (NYSE:XRX) and EFI (Nasdaq:EFII) are helping 
print service providers move more jobs through their shops faster, and in turn, drive greater revenue with the 
availability of the Adobe® PDF Print Engine (APPE). 

APPE, introduced as the foundation for the next generation of PDF print workflows by Adobe in 2006, is 
now available for Xerox's new Color 800/1000 Presses driven by the Xerox EX Print Server Powered by 
EFI Fiery® and Xerox's FreeFlow® Print Server. The technology is displayed in Xerox booth 601 at ON 
DEMAND, a leading digital printing conference and expo held this week in Philadelphia. 

APPE uses the same core imaging technologies as industry-leading Adobe applications, effectively 
streamlining the hand-off between job creator and printer. For example, APPE provides a significant 
customer benefit by delivering greater color consistency and workflow flexibility by processing native PDF 
files without conversion to PostScript. Native PDF rendering improves end-to-end predictability and reliability 
of the entire print process while reducing delays, prepress prep time and rework. APPE also uses JDF-based 
automation technologies, resulting in greater overall throughput. 

"By harnessing the full power of the PDF imaging model through final rendering, this technology will raise the 
bar on digital print quality, streamline end-to-end job processing and accelerate production efficiency," says 
Dr. Naresh Gupta, senior vice president, Print and Publishing at Adobe.

In combination with the Xerox EX Print Server, Powered by EFI Fiery, and FreeFlow Print Server, APPE 
accurately renders the most complex designs and maintains the integrity of the job throughout the entire 
workflow. With native support for ICC color workflows that include transparency, APPE improves the 
accuracy and consistency of color production and dramatically simplifies color management. 

"EFI's longstanding partnership with Adobe and Xerox has enabled our Fiery servers to stay at the forefront 
of innovation and technology leadership," said Toby Weiss, senior vice president and general manager of 
Fiery, EFI. "Because Fiery servers now support APPE and conventional PostScript interpreter, it guarantees 
workflow interoperability with all jobs."

The Xerox Color 800/1000 Presses - printing 80- and 100-pages-per-minute respectively - produce high 
definition image quality on a wide range of paper stock and include an optional clear dry ink station to 
amplify full-color jobs. 

Availability
The Xerox EX Print Server, Powered by EFI Fiery, with Adobe PDF Print Engine is immediately available for the 
Xerox Color 800/1000 Presses.  The FreeFlow Print Server with Adobe PDF Print Engine will be available in 
June.

7700 Series with the Fiery controller delivers a unique combination of increased productivity and easy to use 
color management tools to the office. It is like achieving expert results without being an expert.”

“Our latest Fiery controller paired with the advanced features of the WorkCentre 7700 Series ensure that office 
workers of any skill level can easily produce eye-catching documents,” said John Henze, vice president of 
marketing, Fiery division, EFI. “While there are many new capabilities to enhance productivity and color 
quality, we’re excited to offer WorkCentre 7700 Series users the game changing Fiery VUE application, 
which takes all the complexity out of producing professional documents.”

Today, businesses are moving from black and white to color printing, and keeping more print jobs in-house to 
control costs and security. Targeted at enterprise customers across all departments, the recently launched 
Fiery VUE desktop application allows users to interact with a document on-screen in 3D to sculpt and then 
preview exactly how the finished document will look when printed. This creates better looking documents, 
reduces waste and lowers overall cost. 

For enterprises demanding color control and maximum image quality, there is the optional Fiery Color Profiler 
Suite with integrated color management tools that ensure total color quality control in the print workflow. Office 
users looking for high-quality “out-of-the-box” color can rely on Fiery ColorWise® color management tools, 
while the Spot-On option ensures the best match of PANTONE® colors and streamlines workflow with 
standardized corporate color palettes.  

Besides color quality, Fiery controllers are synonymous with high performance. The Fiery controller’s Smart 
RIP technology significantly improves performance by allowing one page to be printed while subsequent 
pages are being processed, enabling more pages to be printed per hour. To speed up printing processes 
users have the option to let Fiery Hot Folders and Virtual Printers automate the print submission process, 
saving time when printing repetitive types of jobs. 

Fiery controllers are easily deployed in Windows and Macintosh environments and support all industry standard 
networking protocols.

Fiery VUE Paves the Way for Professional Office Printing

Intuitive, 3D Desktop Application From EFI Makes Office Document Production Easy, Cost-Effective and 
Environmentally-Friendly

With a goal to reduce the complexity and cost of office printing, today EFI launched Fiery VUE, an innovative 
print application that makes publishing of professional-looking finished documents fast and simple for all office 
workers. The application is ideal for any functional group across an enterprise including sales, marketing, 
finance, legal, HR and training. 

Fiery VUE takes all the complexity out of producing professional documents. Before printing, any office user 
can interact with the document on-screen in 3D to sculpt and then preview exactly how the finished document 
will look. This creates better looking documents, reduces waste and lowers overall cost. 

"Fiery VUE will save us two to three hours a day in document prep, with amazing finished results," said Angi 
Hast, project manager at Company Nurse, a Scottsdale, Ariz. provider of nurse triage services for workers 
compensation claims. "We create a lot of booklets, and before Fiery VUE, it was a trial-and-error process 
involving printing a draft, making changes, and printing again. Now, we can quickly and easily import 
documents from various files, format our booklets, use the preview feature to confirm everything, and print
once. This all adds up to huge savings in time and paper." 

"Fiery VUE is a game-changing application from EFI. We believe it will eliminate office workers' ongoing 
frustration associated with searching for available printers, installing various print drivers or just trying to print 
a nice looking finished document," said Toby Weiss, general manager and senior vice president of the Fiery 
division, EFI. "As companies seek solutions to lower costs, speed turn-around times and reduce waste in 
support of their green initiatives, Fiery VUE enables fast production of professional-looking documents while 
dramatically improving productivity." 

With minimal keystrokes or training, Fiery VUE allows office workers to be more productive, reducing the time 
and complexity of creating and assembling finished documents. Business owners gain in-house document 
control and lower costs, while being assured security, consistent quality and color accuracy across all 
departments. 

"Fiery VUE is an easy to use application that fills a gap in the tools available today for an office worker to 
create and produce professional-looking finished documents, with no special training," said Alex Sumarta, 
director of production software at InfoTrends, the leading worldwide market research and consulting firm for 
the digital imaging and document solutions industry.

EFI Announces New Two-Meter VUTEk Superwide Printer

VUTEk QS220 Extends Superwide Capabilities at Wide-Format Price Levels

EFI™ (Nasdaq: EFII), a world leader in customer-focused digital printing innovation, today unveiled the VUTEk® 
QS220, a direct-to-substrate, two-meter UV-curing flatbed printer with High-Definition Print (HDP) quality and 
superwide productivity that boasts lower ink running costs than traditional wide-format printers and unique 
application abilities that allow print businesses to expand into higher-end, premium-margin applications. The 
QS220 is ideal for businesses that want to fuel profitability by adding flexible, production-level equipment that 
will support their growth.

“More and more businesses are exploring out-of-home advertising as a way to reach customers, but 
unfortunately many print businesses are forced to choose between high production speeds and high image 
quality,” said EFI VUTEk senior vice president/general manager Dick Wissenbach. “The QS220 is an 
all-in-one printer; it has the speed to print 16 4’x8’ boards per hour as well as the ability to print in high definition. 
This is a great time to be involved in superwide format printing, and with pricing comparable to wide format 
printers, the QS220 is not only affordable, it’s a smart investment for any print business.”

Breakthrough Technology
VUTEk’s HDP technology provides resolution up to 1080 dpi for dazzling graphics and sharp text. It produces 
four- or six-color images, and features a special seventh channel for six variations of white ink. This configuration 
is unique to EFI and means the QS220 is capable of printing color and white in three independent layers all in 
one pass for perfect registration and more advanced printing applications, which results in graphics that really 
pop. This in-line, three-layer white printing capability grants the ability to produce new, high-margin applications 
that other businesses cannot provide, such as enhanced-definition back-lit displays or layered, art-quality 
graphics printed on dark substrates. 
 
The advanced technology of the QS220 allows it to effectively replace multiple wide-format printers. Its small
footprint and optional roll-to-roll capability fulfill the functions of multiple printers, especially with its production 
speeds of up to 750 square feet per hour, outstanding resolution and lower ink running costs than other 
superwide printers. With this one two-meter printer, print businesses can produce the high-resolution images 
required for Point-of-Purchase applications, without forgoing the high-production abilities that has become 
an industry benchmark for leading print shops.

EFI, a manufacturing leader of digital UV inks, specifically designed the QS220 inks for the applications that 
enable businesses to increase production and profitability. By utilizing one ink set, the QS220 delivers 
enhanced reliability and performance on a wide range of substrates, with brighter, more durable 
automotive-grade pigments and greater flexibility, all at per-liter costs that are much lower than most 
wide-format printers. This ensures that businesses not only expand their capabilities, but also increase 
profitability. 

Streamlined Workflows 
A cohesive, intelligent and efficient workflow solution from one supplier is the secret to truly maximizing the 
profit potential of every job printed. From online job acquisition to internal shop management and job 
preparation and production, EFI’s award-winning solutions streamline customer interaction and management 
of the entire print business. EFI Digital StoreFront® delivers a world-class, print-centric e-commerce solution 
for print service providers, while EFI’s Print MIS products, PrintSmith™, and Pace™ automate business 
processes from estimating to invoicing. All VUTEk printers are optimized for use with EFI’s Fiery® XF RIP, 
EFI’s color management solution for accurate, vibrant colors on superwide and wide-format printers.

EFI Brings Innovations to Labelexpo Designed to Increase Capacity, Capability. and Profitability

Wider, Faster Jetrion 4830 digital label press and Fiery XF ensure higher productivity with advanced colour 
management

At its largest stand ever for Labelexpo Europe (9H50), EFI™ is showing, for the first time, its new Jetrion™ 4830. 
With a wider web width and faster linear speeds, the new printer increases throughput by over two times 
compared to the Jetrion 4000. The company is also showcasing updates to its award-winning colour 
management and Fiery™ XF production workflow tools. Together with the printer and UV inks, they bring a 
unique end-to-end solution for digital label production offering more productivity, more cost savings and more 
profit potential to users.

Jetrion 4830
Powered by the Fiery XF RIP, the new Jetrion 4830 UV Inkjet System provides seamless workflow integration 
and is capable of advanced spot-colour matching. Its white-ink capability enables printing on clear film, which 
allows label printers to respond to a more diverse customer base. 

The Jetrion 4830 prints 8.3-inches (21 cm) wide, enabling 2-up 4-inch (10 cm) labels. The wider print zone 
allows label converters to efficiently take on more print jobs. And with its new higher speed print mode of 
greater than 120 feet per minute (36.6 meters per minute), the new system increases productivity significantly. 

Built on the robust Jetrion 4000 industrial platform, the Jetrion 4830 offers proven reliability. The system delivers 
excellent print quality via advanced greyscale printhead technology and wide-gamut UV inks, giving printers 
the means to deliver richly coloured labels more cost effectively.

“Purchasing this latest technology will help further strengthen our customer relationships and give us the 
ability to capitalise on new market opportunities,” said Rick Shaieb, CEO, Whitlam Label Company of 
Center Line, MI (USA). At Print 09 earlier this month, Whitman Label Company was the first company to 
buy a Jetrion 4830. “For several years, we have been committed to working with EFI and we value their
technology and overall customer service,” he added.

Jetrion finishing options
EFI’s engineers have designed Jetrion systems with great flexibility in mind when it comes to finishing options. 
At Labelexpo, the company is demonstrating a semi-rotary die cutter system with SMAG Labcon 350; a laser 
die cutter with Cartes HS200; as well as showcasing Jetrion’s unique ability for printing onto pre-die cut labels. 
This third option is made possible thanks to Jetrion’s high-precision re-registration capability. As a result, new 
users can start using the printer before they have finalised their finishing equipment purchase.  

Jetrion 4000
Also on EFI’s stand is the Jetrion 4000. The first narrow web digital press suited to economically run lengths of 
50,000 labels, this is the perfect fit for primary and secondary labels for a variety of markets, such as food and 
beverage, automotive, electronics, pharmaceutical and many more. The Jetrion 4000 prints on 6.5" (165 mm) 
web widths, with a printable width of 5.5" (139 mm) and can interface with a wide range of converting 
equipment. 

Jetrion 4000 has earned EFI an excellent reputation in the label printing industry. It has enabled the company 
to build an extensive distributor network as well as a larger installation base across six continents than any 
other UV inkjet label printing system.

“We are extremely pleased with both our Jetrion 4000’s and look forward to seeing what the new 4830 can 
provide. Our 4000 has been instrumental in allowing us to compete and be successful in markets that we 
could not venture into earlier,” said Tony Heinl, Executive VP of Repacorp, Tipp City, Ohio, USA.

White Printing
Opacity and print receptiveness of white-ink printing are critical for industries such as pharmaceutical, which 
require printing on clear films. EFI’s custom formulated UV curable inks deliver exceptional performance, 
offering the first single-pass white with opacity rivaling flexo. Additionally, Jetrion’s new white can be printed 
as a background colour for CMYK overprinting.  

Fiery XF RIP
The award-winning Fiery XF RIP extends colour accuracy even further with Dynamic Wedge™, which defines 
key colours and ensures accuracy for colour-critical jobs. Enhanced Spot Colour Simulation allows one-click 
spot-colour matching. And advanced calibration includes linearisation tools using automatic, numerical and 
visual techniques. EFI’s Fiery XF RIP also enables a PDF workflow with EFI XFlow, which includes pre-flight 
and correction modules for automatic print data optimisation.  

Version 4 of EFI Fiery XF also includes a re-linearisation and re-ink-limiting feature, which checks the 
calibration of output devices and automatically brings it back to its original state when parameters, such 
as media or ink, change. After analysing the device XF will either launch the re-linearisation or re- ink-limiting/
-linearisation for easy and effective printer calibration. This new feature provides a fast and accurate method 
of ensuring calibration accuracy.

Enhanced spot-colour simulation automatically identifies the ideal output values to provide dead-on spot-colour
simulations, with challenging low Delta Es.

Nominated for Label Industry Global Awards 2009
In recognition of their innovative technology and rapid market expansion, Jetrion solutions have been 
nominated in the Label Industry Award for Continuous Innovation category of the Label Industry Global 
Awards 2009, taking place on 23 September in Brussels.

EFI Announces Partnership with Masterpiece Graphix (MGX) to Supply Coated Substrates for Jetrion

Alliance brings Jetrion 4000 users added convenience for ordering a larger array of pre-qualified substrates

EFI today announced that it has entered into a partnership with Masterpiece Graphix, Inc. (MGX), MGX the 
largest provider of customized pre coated, print enhanced substrates for digital printing. Under the terms of the 
agreement, MGX will coat certain substrates for use with the Jetrion 4000 Series industrial inkjet system and 
UV inkjet inks, eliminating the need for Jetrion users to perform this step themselves. As a result, Jetrion users 
will now have the option to order an even larger array of standard substrates they are already using on their 
flexo presses with an MGX coating that ensures that these substrates are print-receptive for UV inkjet inks.

“The Jetrion 4000 is revolutionizing digital label printing by allowing converters to print directly onto the 
majority of their favorite substrates without a costly primer or topcoat. This results in lower running costs 
and faster cycle times, a major advantage of Jetrion’s proprietary UV inkjet inks versus liquid or dry 
toner-based systems,” said Dr. Kenneth Stack, general manager of EFI Jetrion. “While many customers 
use flexo substrates that work well without priming or top coating, some have asked us for a third-party 
solution for the substrates that are more difficult to print on. We do offer a flexo-based coating that 
guarantees compatibility with any substrate, but our relationship with MGX gives our customers the 
added convenience of ordering print –ready rolls from a third party.”  MGX treats materials with a 
proprietary pre-coating process assures excellent printing and ink adhesion. Not only does this 
guarantee the best possible on-press quality, but it also eliminates the extra coating step in the 
converter’s manufacturing process, thus reducing the production cycle time.

"We are excited about this partnership with EFI,” said Doug Watson, CEO and President of MGX. “MGX 
has extensive experience with coatings, having coated over 800 different types of materials from common 
paper to exotic substrates, enabling a broad selection of materials for unlimited applications. We are 
pleased to be bringing this expertise to bear for the benefit of EFI Jetrion 4000 users.”

As part of the new partnership, every new Jetrion 4000 printer will be shipped with a free roll of 
MGX-coated material so that Jetrion customers can try out new substrate options. Many other 
specialty digital substrates are available from MGX including tag and label specialty materials.

By obtaining materials from MGX, EFI customers also enjoy the added advantage of working with an 
environmentally proactive partner. MGX manufacturing operations are 100% wind-powered and the 
company is currently developing a line of recyclable digital materials, papers and plastics.

EFI to Launch New Versions of Colorproof XF and Fiery XF

Patent-pending Dynamic Wedge Provides Advanced Color Control by Automatically Analyzing Key Colors for 
Verification and Optimization of Color-Critical Jobs

Zaventem, Belgium – Feb. 27, 2009 – EFI (NASDAQ: EFII) announced the release of version 4.0 of its 
market-leading EFI Colorproof XF for software color proofing and Fiery XF for production printing. 
Patent-pending Dynamic Wedge™, Intelligent Calibration, and enhanced spot-color simulation provide a 
measurable advantage for achieving color accuracy for every job and device, even in remote locations. 
EFI’s new software increases productivity and saves costs by eliminating redundant production steps.

“Printing today requires full control of the entire color supply chain with maximum productivity,” said Frank 
Hueske, EFI product marketing manager. “EFI’s new Colorproof XF 4.0 and Fiery XF 4.0 allow users to 
manage color in a new dimension with efficient and fast production tools to achieve standardized, 
accurate color effortlessly.”

EFI Colorproof XF and Fiery XF V4 automation features ensure accurate set-up and maintenance of a
perfectly defined color workflow from linearization and profiling to calibration, allowing hands-free overnight 
calibration.

Dynamic Wedge
EFI’s patent-pending Dynamic Wedge™ is a revolutionary technology that checks and initiates optimization 
of key colors – including spot colors – based on a dynamically created wedge. Unlike a static wedge (for 
instance the Ugra/Fogra media wedge), the software always takes into consideration the job’s key colors 
and all spot colors relevant to color analysis. Dynamic Wedge uses its advanced algorithms to analyze 
these colors. It also ensures the highest accuracy of output devices onsite and at remote locations. It is 
an essential tool for controlling key colors either in proofing or wide format production. Its dynamic 
analysis and tracking of spot colors makes it perfect for the packaging applications. Dynamic Wedge is a 
critical tool for matching logo and other special colors in CMYK.

Another unique advantage of the Dynamic Wedge, which is essential for color-critical applications, is its 
ability to automatically verify color accuracy against standards such as ISO 12647-7.

Printing systems with embedded spectrophotometers will also benefit from the Dynamic Wedge. It fully automates 
verification and optimization—for labor-saving color-quality assurance.

Intelligent calibration
Version 4 of EFI Colorproof XF and Fiery XF also include a re-linearization and re-ink-limiting feature, 
which checks the calibration of output devices and automatically brings it back to its original state 
when parameters, such as media or ink, change. After analyzing the device, XF will either launch the 
re-linearization or re-ink-limiting/-linearization for easy and effective printer calibration. This new feature 
provides a fast and accurate method of ensuring calibration accuracy.

Enhanced spot-color simulation
Enhanced spot-color simulation automatically identifies the ideal output values to provide dead-on spot-color 
simulations, with challenging low Delta Es.

Automated Proofing with Epson Stylus Pro x900
EFI Colorproof and Fiery XF v 4 prints a label directly on the proof on Epson Stylus Pro x900 printers with 
embedded spectrophotometer after inline verification. This allows the user to see if the proofs failed or 
passed immediately. This fully automated feature eliminates the use of a semi-automated measuring device 
as a first step before printing the label.

Each step of color measurement from linearization, profiling, calibration, optimization and verification, as well 
as the immediate label printing directly on the output can be executed automatically. This complete workflow 
automation maximizes productivity while ensuring color accuracy.

“EFI XF v 4.0 solutions, which includes the revolutionary Dynamic Wedge, will dramatically change the 
current proofing workflow,” said Hueske. “V4’s combination of features provide XF customers with the 
highest degree of color control and automation.”

Additional improvements include wizard-based licensing, set-up and configuration, intuitive one-click 
spot-color handling, uniform page scaling, easy conversion to grey scale, enhanced tiling and 
step-and-repeat functions.

EFI’s improved proofing and print production tools extend automation with JDF-based communication 
to EFI’s leading MIS and Web2Print Solutions. Support of the latest technologies such as Adobe PDF 
Print Engine v2.0 streamline and enhance workflow communication.

quickly change paper type. Lastly, the new Center Page feature enables auto rotate and auto centering of 
pages, eliminating the need for additional software or extra steps to center a page.

The enhanced OCR support in EFI MicroPress enables the user to choose between different OCR modes, 
and to have OCR of any region of the page, including tabs. These flexible features are ideal in a fast-paced 
production environment.

EFI MicroPress 8.0 delivers expanded color features, including support for PANTONE Goe spot colors and 
four new color set-ups. PANTONE Goe is an entirely new color system from Pantone, intended to 
complement the world standard PANTONE MATCHING SYSTEM by offering more colors (2,058 in total), a

workflow and print management systems, reducing manual data entry, decreasing the likelihood of print errors, 
and reducing labor costs. In addition, print service providers can provide proactive job status via the web and 
customers can access online job tracking for better visibility into the stages of production. 

Marc Olin, senior vice president/general manager, EFI Advanced Professional Print Software (APPS) said:
 "Already in use at more than 3000 locations, Digital StoreFront enables print service providers to create a 
unique, loyalty-building user experience for their customers. We've been listening to user requests and are 
excited to introduce the forthcoming version at this year's Graph Expo. We think visitors to our booth will be 
impressed with industry-leading VDP tools such as multi-record data upload and PPML support, easy to use

digital printing solutions. In today's tough economic market, more print service providers are relying on 
Web-to-Print platforms to cut costs and streamline production, and DSF is the perfect partner."

The new version builds on already strong VDP features. Data lists now allow for multi-record data file upload, 
storage, modification and use of one or more records within a data set for VDP job creation. Image galleries 
provide the ability to select an image from a group of images displayed in a single window as thumbnails. With 
this release, support for PPML has been added as an output format. Digital StoreFront remains the only 
solution to offer a choice of VDP technology providers, supporting FusionPro and XMPie.

As more and more print service providers offer superwide format options, DSF has been enhanced to ensure 
successful online ordering. These enhancements give buyers a simple but powerful tool for ordering large and 
SWF products online. Background File Upload allows the buyer to continue the order while the file is 
uploading "behind the scenes." A state-of-the-art pricing engine, with price list functionality, provides the 
ability to see the correct price online based on quantity, media, finished size and finishing options that include 
stitching, pole pockets, grommets, various frames, wind slits, lamination, mounting and many more. 

This release of DSF brings greater integration with other powerful EFI solutions, with new integration to EFI 
Pace and enhanced integration to EFI Monarch print MIS, creating an efficient workflow from web submission 
to production and invoicing. DSF also has integration to EFI Fiery®, Fiery Central, Fiery XF and MicroPress® 
solutions for digital printing. 

Also with DSF 4.0, EFI adds a fulfillment module that provides a complete Web-based storefront solution for 
fulfillment ordering to streamline inventory management for printers and enable companies to offer 
value-added online fulfillment ordering services. The power of DSF Fulfillment comes in large part from its 
integration with EFI's print management systems. Products that appear in the online fulfillment catalog are 
automatically created from finished goods inventory in the management system. Likewise, when new work 
is produced for customers, inventory updates from the management system are reflected in the website 
interface. Additionally, when orders are placed and when they are shipped, customers can see the status of 
their orders, and the finished goods inventory in the MIS is automatically adjusted to reflect the quantities 
ordered. 

Availability
Version 4.0 will be available in early Q1 2009 from many EFI partners including Canon, FujiFilm Graphic Systems,
IKON, Konica-Minolta, Ricoh and Toshiba, as well as independent dealers, in North America, Europe and Asia

represents EFI’s VUTEk superwide printing systems as well as the ColorProof XF solution for digital color 
proofing, large-format production and photographic printing. 

EFI president Fred Rosenzweig
“This agreement will prove beneficial for Pitman, for EFI and for the label printing and packaging industry as a 
whole,” said  EFI president, Fred Rosenzweig. “Now that the Jetrion 4000 is commercially available, Pitman 
provides the ideal channel to speed the rate at which our breakthrough technology can help label printers

Live Demos of Award Winning UV Inkjet Label Printer in EFI Jetrion Booth

Chicago -- September 9, 2008 -- EFI (NASDAQ: EFII) Jetrion kicks off its largest presence at Labelexpo 
showcasing its award-winning Jetrion 4000 industrial inkjet system and several new product features in 
booth #6423.

Jetrion 4000 UV Inkjet System 
The Jetrion 4000 UV Inkjet System offers label converters a cost-effective, full-color narrow web alternative to 
toner-based digital printers for label runs of up to 50,000 labels. With speeds of up to 30.5 meters (100 ft)

New at Labelexpo 2008
New features of the Jetrion 4000 will be on display at Labelexpo, including a pre-die cut label printing 
functionality, variable-data printing (VDP) enhancements, a new ink set, and a new software suite. 

On display for the first time will be a Jetrion printing onto pre-die cut labels. The ability to print on labels that 
have already been die-cut means converters can purchase blank die-cut labels, run them through the 
digital press and produce finished labels. This unique new feature differentiates the Jetrion 4000 from its 
toner-based competitors and will be available in Q4 of 2008.

Also on display and available in Q4, Jetrion 4000 will take short-run printing to the limit by offering variable data 
printing. Building on its VDP leadership position in the label market with its large installed base of Jetrion 3000 
series monochrome systems, the 4000 will also be able to print 1D and 2D barcodes, as well as variable text, 
numbers and graphics. This enables Jetrion users to fully seize the opportunity for business growth resulting 
from the ongoing explosion of security, track and trace, barcode and other VDP applications in the industrial 
inkjet market.

New UV CMYK Ink 
A new UV CMYK ink is now available, designed by EFI’s chemists to spread easier and work on an ever 
broadening range of substrates. Unlike toner-based systems, Jetrion can now print onto lower-cost uncoated 
stock, an important benefit to cost-sensitive converters. The system will continue to provide outstanding color 
reproduction combined with exceptional durability, reducing the need for costly over-laminates. 

New software for the Jetrion 4000 includes EFI XFlow (PDF-based workflow solution), the Print Manager 
easy-to-use interface for advanced job management, and the Fiery XF RIP (raster image processor), which 
brings all the strength of EFI’s software capabilities to label converting.  The Jetrion 4000 is the only digital 
label printing press whose hardware, software and UV ink are all designed and made by the same company, 
thus ensuring an optimized product for its users.

streamlined the workflow and the faster the time to market, the more profit a printer sees in the bottom line. 
Integration between EFI Prograph and KODAK PRINERGY System represents an industry first and is only 
the first iteration of the JDF-compliant EFI Prepress Integration Suite. We will continue to add components 
over time to extend compatibility with a wide range of products and solutions." 

One of the most powerful results of this innovative offering is the ability to support true "just in time" plating. 
Prograph begins the process by receiving content links and images from KODAK PRINERGY System and 
KODAK INSITE Unified Workflow System. The content is automatically linked to pages in the Prograph 
Planner, where the user can view spreads and imposed layouts on-screen. The Planner provides a 
workflow system with a detailed layout showing content page positions and all process marks - including 
folding, color bars, punch, and side guides - necessary for automated plate creation. This automated process 
creates a comprehensive set of manufacturing instructions for all steps of the production process, including 
reconciled distribution planning and detailed instructions for page-level version assignments. Additionally, when
the client makes changes requiring a new page count, a different press, new paper sizes or new positions, the 
Planner will automatically rebuild the plate file(s) without user intervention. 

One of the most revolutionary elements of this solution is the elimination of the requirement to build fixed 
imposition templates based on the press and dimensions of the imposition. In Prograph, impositions dynamically 
scale to the size of the product being produced and the press being used. Changes are implemented instantly 
and the time required for imposition maintenance is dramatically reduced. 

"Prograph connectivity is a new complement to our PRINERGY Workflow System that delivers increased 
automation," said Jon Bracken, vice president of marketing, Enterprise Solutions, for Kodak's Graphic 
Communications Group. "We are pleased to collaborate with EFI in adding this extra element of workflow 
efficiency for our customers." 

EFI Prograph is a comprehensive planning solution for high-volume and large commercial operations. This 
globally optimized Print MIS solution compares the necessary manufacturing processes with companies' 
internal equipment and resources to determine discrepancies. Prograph enables more informed decision 
making and facilitates contingency planning. Starting in Q3, Prograph will integrate seamlessly with the 
KODAK PRINERGY Workflow System, making it an ideal planning solution for the large installed base of 
KODAK PRINERGY customers.

EFI Acquires ePace to Better Serve Mid-Size Commercial Print Providers

Browser-based ePace Print Management Solution Streamlines EFI Portfolio  

Foster City, Calif. - July 29, 2008 - EFI (Nasdaq: EFII), the world leader in customer-focused digital printing 
innovation, today announced it has acquired privately held Pace Systems Group for approximately $21 
million in cash plus an additional cash earn out amount which is contingent upon achieving certain 
performance targets. Pace Systems Group is a print management software company providing practical 
print MIS and e-commerce solutions that make printing and graphic art companies more efficient and profitable. 

The acquisition is expected to be neutral to earnings in Q3 and slightly accretive in Q4. EFI will announce its 
second quarter results and its third quarter outlook after close of market today. 

"Jay Farr and Gary Foster built a great company and their technology will be a terrific complement to our own 
efforts, allowing us to meet our goal of a more efficient development process much sooner than anticipated," 
said Guy Gecht, CEO of EFI.  "The combination of the Pace platform and our technology will help our 
customers capture growth and efficiency in the current challenging environment, and at the same time will 
bring a unique and powerful value-add application to our inkjet and Fiery customers. We look for the 
products developed using Pace Systems core technology to allow us to more cost effectively serve these 
markets."

EFI's strategy moving forward is to provide three solution sets to the printing industry. EFI PrintSmith(tm) will 
continue to serve the on-demand, copy shop, quick printer and small commercial shop. The new product, 
named EFI Pace, is a combination of the ePace platform and EFI technology. It will provide a fully-integrated, 
optimized solution for the middle market. EFI Monarch, comprised of EFI Hagen(tm) OA and other modules, 
will provide a high-end, flexible solution for large single and multi-plant operations with multi-language, 
multi-currency, and customization options. EFI expects to deliver new versions of PSI(tm) and Logic(tm) later
this year, and will then support these systems through maintenance releases. PSI and Logic customers will 
also be offered an easy upgrade path to EFI Pace or EFI Monarch. 

Marc Olin, senior vice president/general manager, EFI Advanced Professional Print Software (APPS), said: 
"EFI is continually evaluating its Print MIS solution line-up to ensure that our customers are receiving 'best 
of breed' offerings. As a part of this strategy, EFI has committed to provide a browser-based, integrated 
solution to serve the mid-sized commercial market. After working on an internal project along this path for 
the last few years, and after a comprehensive evaluation of the ePace platform, we decided the best 
solution for our clients was to acquire this proven platform and add to it some of our latest technology. This 
acquisition is strong testament to EFI's commitment to serving the needs of our customers in all printing 
market segments. ePace will allow us to streamline our portfolio, improving the functionality and integration 
available to commercial printers while enhancing our status as the largest print MIS provider worldwide."

"Pace Systems Group has been a successful independent company for more than 30 years, and now the 
time is right to take our products and our customers to the next level by becoming part of EFI," said Jay 
Farr, CEO of Pace Systems Group. "We are excited to join EFI's print management line-up and to be able 
to leverage EFI's integration expertise, worldwide reputation and financial strength to provide our valued 
customers with an even higher quality of service."

EFI Hagen and EFI Prograph Management Systems Receive JDF Certification

Leading Production Planning and Management Software Complete PIA/GATF Testing on Behalf of CIP4

drupa - Düsseldorf, Germany - May 30, 2008 - EFI (NASDAQ: EFII), the world leader in customer-focused 
digital printing innovation, today announced that its Hagen™ and Prograph® management systems have each 
received JDF certification from PIA/GATF. EFI Prograph and EFI Hagen OA are among the first management 
systems to pass the stringent Job Definition Format testing process by PIA/GATF, the official certification body 
for CIP4 (the International Cooperation for the Integration of the Processes in Prepress, Press and Postpress). 

The certification process involves a series of tests - ranging from attribute value tests to full blown JDF job ticket 
conformance - over several days conducted in the PIA/GATF's state-of-the-art facility. Hagen and Prograph 
passed all the rigorous standards of JDF product certification and are now certified to create and accept 
updated job details as the job is running via JMF (Job Messaging Format). These systems have efficient two 
way communication between capable devices, and the ability to communicate correctly to both prepress and 
conventional printing workflows.

"PIA/GATF continues to expand our JDF Certification portfolio with the conclusion of this beta and the support of 
EFI," said Dr. Mark Bohan, vice president, research and technology, PIA/GATF. "By using certified solutions, 
print providers can be confident in the adoption and usage of JDF throughout their operations. EFI continues to 
be a strong proponent of JDF and we are pleased to have them participate fully in this process."

"EFI is proud to receive JDF certifications for Hagen and Prograph," said Marc Olin, senior vice president/
general manager, EFI Advanced Professional Print Software (APPS). "This accomplishment is welcome news 
for our worldwide customers who can now seamlessly share information between production and management 
processes to realize productivity improvements and cost savings. EFI has been committed to JDF and CIP4 for 
many years and we're very pleased that our efforts have resulted in these certifications. We are anticipating 
successful certification on our other MIS systems as well."

EFI Prograph delivers a comprehensive workflow planning and management solution for magazine, catalog, 
book, retail insert and large commercial print operations. The solution offers comprehensive planning 
capabilities, including versioning, complex imposition, bindery planning and distribution tools, enabling users to 
make more informed business decisions and streamline their production process. 

EFI Hagen is an MIS solution designed to effectively support technology-driven printing operations, from

package with high-end applications for estimating, job management, scheduling, purchasing, inventory and 
fulfillment, Hagen allows print service providers to collect, share, analyze and respond to information in real-time. 

The latest releases of Hagen and Prograph are on display at drupa 2008 through June 11 in EFI's booth (stand 
C01, Hall 5) as well as in the JDF Experience Parc (Innovation hall, Hall 7). Prograph version 7.0, which began 
shipping in April, has several product enhancements, most notably a new invoicing module which supports 
Contract Billing. This allows print service providers to represent long-term contract pricing they have in place 
with clients, a common practice for publication printers. The system then helps them generate the invoices 
based on these contracts using the planning data in Prograph.

EFI’s Jetrion 4000 Wins Industrial Printing Solution of the Year in EDP Awards 2008

European Digital Press Association recognizes the quality and innovation of the Jetrion 4000, now available 
for purchase

drupa - Düsseldorf, Germany - May 30, 2008 - EFI (NASDAQ: EFII), the world leader in customer-focused digital 
printing innovation, today announced that its full-color Jetrion® 4000 UV Inkjet System has been named Best 
Product of the Year in the Industrial (Specialty) Printing Solutions category of the European Digital Press (EDP) 
Awards for 2008. Run by the EDP Association, comprising the publishers of 13 of the leading European digital 
printing magazines with a combined audience of 120,000 graphic arts professionals across Europe, the aim of 
the awards is to identify and reward annually the products that represent the best quality and innovation in the 
digital print industry.

The Jetrion 4000 UV Inkjet System, which is now commercially available and on display at drupa 2008 (29th 
May to 11th June, stand C01, Hall 5), is a unique industrial inkjet printer that is launching the digital label 
printing revolution and offers label converters an affordable, full-color narrow web alternative to toner-based 
digital printers for label runs of up to 50,000 labels.

Agustïn Torres, Chairman of EDP Association, commented: "After careful consideration of all the entries in the 
Industrial (Specialty) Printing Solutions category, the EDP Association decided to award the accolade of Best 
Product of the Year 2008 to EFI's Jetrion 4000 because of the numerous outstanding features it offers in one 
industrial printing system - its ability to make short run print jobs economically viable, its variety of applications 
and its overall output quality, flexibility and reliability. The fact that EFI's market leading Fiery XF RIP and 
OneFlow workflow software comes fully integrated into the Jetrion 4000 also makes it good value."

With speeds of up to 30.5 metres/min at more than 1000 dpi with greyscale technology, the Jetrion 4000 
delivers full-color label printing up to 13.9 cms (5.5 ins) wide. The system also features Jetrion's advanced 
UV4000 ink set which provides exceptional durability and reduces the need for costly over-laminates. In 
combination with EFI's Fiery XF RIP, the inks provide outstanding color reproduction across a wide range of 
substrates. 

"We're delighted to have received this award," remarked Kenneth Stack, EFI Vice President and General 
Manager, Jetrion. "The past year has been an exciting one - in response to customer demand, we doubled the 
space dedicated to our industrial inkjet research, development and manufacturing operation located in Ypsilanti, 
Michigan; the Jetrion 4000 went into full production and we launched Jetrion in Europe. The EDP award really 
is therefore the icing on the cake for us this year, and recognises the innovation and efforts of the Jetrion R & D 
and manufacturing divisions in bringing the Jetrion 4000 to market. The Jetrion 4000 stands apart from other 
solutions, with lower running costs than toner alternatives and a lower purchase price that delivers compelling 
ROI. We look forward to demonstrating its capabilities and taking orders for this printer at drupa. Following 
drupa we'll turn our attention to Labelexpo Americas in September, where EFI Jetrion has been nominated for 
the 2008 Label Industry Global Awards."

Repacorp, Inc., one of the largest specialty printing companies in the U.S., recently installed a Jetrion 4000. 
While they are still in the initial stages of ramping up, the early results are promising. "After more than 30 years 
as a leader in the label printing industry, we understand the need to expand our business and the important 
role printing technology can play in that growth. We recently installed a Jetrion 4000 to allow us to take on 
more profitable short-run jobs, and so far we're extremely pleased with the printer's speed and image quality," 
said Tony Heinl, vice president at Repacorp.

Leading UK Commercial Printer, PCP, Going Live with First Fully Integrated EFI Management Information System in Europe

PCP on Track to Achieving Lean Manufacturing Goal by Early 2009

drupa - Düsseldorf, Germany - May 30, 2008 - EFI® (Nasdaq: EFII), the world leader in customer-focused digital 
printing innovation, announces that Precision Colour Printing (PCP Ltd), one of the UK's top print service 
providers, will go live week commencing 22nd June with EFI's dynamic scheduling tool, PrintFlow®. In doing 
so, PCP will add PrintFlow to its existing management information system (MIS), comprising EFI Hagen™ MIS, 
Prograph® production planning and EFI Auto-Count™ shop floor data collection, to become the first printer in 
Europe to roll out a fully integrated EFI MIS. Founded in 1980, PCP is one of the leading magazine printing 
companies in the UK, and is part of The Claverley Group, the proprietors of the Express & Star and the 
Shropshire Star newspapers. 

With PrintFlow's real-time calculations, enterprise-wide scope and unique what-if capabilities, PCP hopes to
realize savings by optimizing the interaction of all the activities in its Telford-based plant. An intelligent, rules-
based scheduling system, PrintFlow will manage PCP's production not as islands of automation but as a 
complete operation, and will provide real-time reporting to better identify areas of inefficiency and downtime.

Alex Evans, managing director of PCP, comments: "We're delighted to be going live next month with PrintFlow, 
the last piece of our EFI MIS, which we hope will drive a new phase in the continued development of PCP as 
a premier print service provider in the UK. While the physical installation of PrintFlow has gone as smoothly as 
planned, the cultural change required by us in the transition to a comprehensive MIS has been slightly more 
protracted than originally anticipated. Once we get through this transition, I'm confident that our EFI MIS will 
provide PCP's executive team with daily reports of accurate real-time data of what the plant has produced and 
will highlight areas for improvement."

The Hagen, Prograph and Auto-Count segments of PCP's MIS were installed over three months and have 
been running since October last year. Evans admits that he was at first concerned about what level of support 
EFI would provide, but says that his concern then turned to satisfaction: "We were initially concerned that, as 
Europe is a rather newer market for EFI, the level of support they were going to provide us might not be up to the 
level of that received by one of their US customers. In reality, though, we need not have worried as the support 
we've received from EFI has been excellent. EFI worked closely with us to overcome the issues that were 
bound to arise in such a major transition and have been very proactive in their support of us, both from a 
European and US perspective."

The Prograph system reflects the manufacturing capabilities of individual printing plants and responds to the 
product definition and the client's production needs by mapping products to equipment and resources. When 
integrated with Hagen, it provides a market leading MIS package with a level of production planning that no 
other solution on the market can match. Hagen Prograph also features estimating, inventory management and 
accurate, detailed invoicing and is particularly adept at handling customers' complex versioning requirements. 
Together with PrintFlow, Prograph opens the door to new capabilities, savings and efficiencies that are not 
possible in traditional MIS systems.

Evans continues: "Before the MIS was installed, we had plenty of information to help us run the company, but 
the process was very intensive insofar as it required a lot of manual intervention - we had to send people out to 
track down and compile the information for us. We anticipate that the new EFI system will automatically deliver 
data on press utilization and downtime and on wastage factors, such as make ready and running waste, and 
will give us a far quicker and more accurate view of what the plant is producing on a daily or weekly basis. 
We can then drive the system to scrutinize aspects of the business such as overheads, stock usage, stock 
turnaround and the utilization of staff resources to identify where changes that will positively impact the 
organization need to be made."

Marc Olin, senior vice president/general manager, EFI Advanced Professional Print Software (APPS), says, 
"Although we are the dominant provider of fully integrated MIS solutions to the printing market in the US, to 
date we have not enjoyed the same success in Europe. However, in PCP we now have our first completely 
integrated European success to go along with a number of standalone MIS deployments we have in the UK, 
France, Poland, Slovenia and Germany, and the first of what we hope will be many more complete MIS 
installations in Europe. As PCP have acknowledged themselves, we have worked closely with them to ensure 
as pain-free a transition as possible towards achieving the multiple and significant benefits of a fully integrated 
MIS and I believe that this is a shining example of how EFI really is helping our customers to print to win."

PCP still sees lean manufacturing as crucial to the long-term growth of the company and EFI's integrated MIS 
as crucial to facilitating the lean manufacturing process, as Evans explains: "There's no doubt that for any 
printing organization to move ahead and remain financially viable for the long-term, a fully integrated MIS is 
needed to drive a lean manufacturing business model. We're convinced that that is the right approach and 
that our decision, as an executive team, to go with EFI last year has not only proven to date to be the right 
one, but that by this time next year, the benefits of the system will also have confirmed that we made the right 
choice in working with EFI."

with EFI's Document Composition application for our complex technical service manual folders, which contain 
all technical documentation about our products. Before our Fiery installation, our workflow for this job demanded 
collating by hand, but now with EFI Compose, we automatically merge the individual chapters so they become 
one manual, and we can print the whole manual with one mouse click. With the Fiery workflow, all we need to 
do is simply take the completely finished documents out of the printer."

"Xerox and EFI have developed a winning solution that delivers power, performance, and speed to production 
print environments, and helps customers achieve the greatest return on their equipment investment," said Frank 
Mallozzi, senior vice president, marketing and sales, EFI. "With expert color capabilities and new labor-saving, 
error-eliminating workflows, customers benefit from improved productivity and the highest quality color when 
EFI Fiery and Splash technology innovation drives their Xerox 700 Digital Color Press."

EX Print Server Powered by Fiery
The EX Print Server enables Xerox customers to compete more effectively and achieve the highest levels of 
efficiency in production printing environments, where engine utilization, speed, advanced color management, 
and connectivity are critical to success and profitability. The new EX Print Server Powered by Fiery is 
designed for customers in graphic arts, print for pay, commercial printers and corporate reproduction 
departments.

The solution is fully compliant with PDF/X3, a specification for reliable prepress data interchange that enables 
designers to provide digital content files that can be printed predictably and correctly by the print provider. The
EX Print Server passes the Altona Test Suite and Ghent Output Suite, making it an ideal proofing system for 
press simulation in the digital print environment.

Among the new EFI Fiery advances integral to the EX Print Server is a new Fiery driver for Mac users, giving 
increased productivity through shortened job preparation and automation with the ability to customize job 
submission; Compose, EFI's visual document make-ready solution; the Fiery Graphic Arts Package, Premium 
Edition, a professional "toolkit" for color accuracy and precision; and EFI Impose, a What You See is What 
You Get (WYSIWYG) document imposition solution combine with the EX Print Server to offer an open, 
flexible solution catering to advanced customer requirements.

The powerful Fiery-driven print server delivers new revenue stream opportunities such as high-value variable 
data printing (VDP). EFI Fiery digital print servers readily passed new PPML (Personalized Print Markup 
Language) testing and earned PODi (Print on Demand Initiative)'s newest interoperability certification. The 
certification ensures that Fiery-driven Xerox 700 customers have the highest possible levels of throughput and 
productivity when printing personalized material on demand at high volume. EFI has forged partnerships with 
leading third-party personalization software providers and supports such VDP languages as PPML, Xerox 
Variable-data Intelligent PostScript Printware (VIPP), Fiery FreeForm(TM), and a host of legacy proprietary 
languages, ensuring that the Fiery platform readily integrates into existing workflows and delivers consistency 
regardless of whether the job is VDP or non-VDP. The advanced Fiery job management capabilities enable 
print service providers to tailor their production process to the type of work they do.

Fiery supports the new color specification, PANTONE(R) Goe(TM) System. Optional Fiery connectivity with 
Rampage Workflow System enables high-volume prepress production across diverse plate setters, proofing 
systems and other output devices. For novice users, "how-to" guides address a wide range of operator 
expertise. In combination, these features turn Fiery into the most effective competitive weapon that optimizes 
digital press performance and operational ease and improves productivity and ROI.

In addition, the award-winning EFI Color Profiler Suite profiling solution is engineered to especially suit the 
Fiery-driven Xerox 700 Digital Color Press. It offers a complete suite of integrated color management tools to 
ensure total color quality control in color printing workflows for graphic arts professionals.

EFI Splash RPX-iii Workflow Solution
EFI and Xerox offer a unique end-to-end Mac workflow with the Splash RPX-iii workflow solution for the Xerox 
700 Digital Color Press. Splash RPX-iii and Fiery workflows are combined to offer creative professionals the best 
of both worlds by bringing creative and production together to maximize the capabilities of the Xerox 700 Digital 
Color Press. Creative experts can achieve professional color with a unique Mac-based workflow for applications 
such as photo printing and photo books and also z-fold brochures and booklets using finishing options.

Integrated Fiery Color Server
For office workgroups that need to produce consistent quality color documents, the Integrated Fiery Color 
Server enables users to easily and efficiently create color-rich documents.

EFI Spot-On(R) with Substitute Colors extends the Spot-On capability to manage all CMYK and RGB colors

EFI Digital StoreFront Web-to-Print Solution Now Features Integration to Popular PrintSmith MIS System

Industry-Leading Digital StoreFront Provides New Ways to Increase Service Levels, Reduce Costs and Gain 
Competitive Advantage to Key Global MIS Community 

On Demand – Boston – March 3, 2008 – EFI (Nasdaq: EFII), the world leader in customer-focused digital printing 
innovation, today extended support for its award-winning Digital StoreFront® (DSF) web-to-print solution to include 
native integration with its popular PrintSmith™ Print MIS system. The PrintSmith system is in use by more than 
8,000 print shops worldwide. Already in use at more than 2,500 locations worldwide, Digital StoreFront lets print 
service providers create a unique, intuitive e-commerce shopping interface for their customers, and delivers 
powerful back-end automation to improve profitability. Digital StoreFront 3.3 will be available at the end of March.  

Digital StoreFront will be featured at the On Demand Conference & Exposition (March 3-6, Boston) in a variety 
of EFI’s partners’ booths, including Canon USA Inc. (Booth 1416), FujiFilm Graphic Systems USA, Inc. (Booths 
952, 1048), Konica Minolta (Booths 913, 916, M.57), and Ricoh Americas Corporation (Booth 631).

“Integration is a big part of the DSF workflow, and building this connection to PrintSmith creates flexibility for a 
wide range of shops, from commercial printers to institutional inplants and CRDs,” said Chuck Gehman, director 
of product management, EFI.  “With this new capability, customers can place orders on the web and take full 
advantage of DSF‘s industry-leading capabilities, while the print service provider can manage their production 
via the familiar PrintSmith MIS system interface.”

The new integration joins a suite of workflow and web tools available from EFI.  PrintSmith Site, the venerable 
web-to-print option is still available as an add-on for PrintSmith.  “The low-cost, high-value PrintSmith Site remains 
a very compelling value-proposition for a lot of customers,” continued Gehman.  “Having a choice of either 
PrintSmith Site or DSF, in an integrated solution with PrintSmith, provides a gamut of capabilities to suit the needs 
of virtually any printing operation, customer or application.”

With the addition of support for PrintSmith, version 3.3 of Digital StoreFront features out-of-the-box integration with 
EFI’s Print MIS solutions, direct connectivity to Fiery® color digital print servers, MicroPress, EFI’s raster-based 
production workflow solution, and EFI’s VUTEk® superwide printing systems via JDF.  This level of integration 
and support from a single supplier, operating across the full range of business and production functions for printers 
of all sizes, is unprecedented in the industry.  “With the complexity of running a printing business in today’s highly 
competitive marketplace,” adds Gehman, “being able to implement solutions that support workflow from web 
submission to production and invoicing that are developed, tested and supported by one organization makes it 
faster and easier for printing firms to gain the business and production efficiencies they need for sustainable 
growth into the future.”

EFI makes it easy for printing firms to add web-to-print to their offerings with a wide range of configuration options.  
Print service providers can also select the application hosting model that best fits their needs, including hosting 
the application themselves or relying on EFI to supply Digital StoreFront in a software-as-a-service model hosted 
in EFI’s world-class data center.  This offers customers the flexibility to migrate from one hosting model to the other 
as business needs change. Either hosting option may be used with the new PrintSmith integration.

“With Digital StoreFront, EFI provides one of the most scalable and extensible web-to-print platforms on the 
market,” said Gehman. “The depth of integration with other critical business solutions is unmatched and makes it 
easy for our customers to achieve success right from the start as we work with them to ‘Print to Win.’”

world-class products and solutions that meet the needs of today and tomorrow,” added Gecht. “Our APPS 
group is a great example of the results that dedication to innovation delivers to the market.”

“Print service providers face an increasingly competitive environment,” continued Olin.  “They can no longer 
depend on faster, more automated presses to improve productivity and make their operations more cost-effective.  
They must streamline their workflow, from the inception of the customer interaction to delivery and invoicing. 
This year we will continue to respond to our customers’ needs with a number of exciting new developments in 
CRM (customer relationship management) capabilities, enhanced web-to-print offerings, streamlined user interface 
designs, expanded VDP (variable data print)-enabled solutions and some stunning new JDF-based solutions that

EFI Digital StoreFront 3.0 Sees Rapid Customer Adoption

Graph Expo - Chicago - Sept. 10, 2007- EFI (Nasdaq: EFII), the world leader in customer-focused digital printing 
innovation, today announced it has had the most successful launch of its leading web-to-print platform, EFI 
Digital StoreFront 3.0, in the history of the product, with adoption taking place throughout North America, Europe 
and Asia even in advance of the official launch of the international version. As of today, Digital StoreFront® is 
now available for shipment in all 13 supported languages. The solution is on display in booth 3000 at Graph Expo 
(Sept. 9-12, McCormick Place).

Digital StoreFront (DSF) provides EFI customers with an intuitive e-commerce interface and powerful back-end 
automation. The recent enhancements to the product included a completely redesigned and highly customizable 
user interface, easier and faster web-based administration, new VDP choices, and hundreds of new features 
across the entire system. The languages now supported are US English; UK English; French; Italian; German; 
Spanish; Dutch; Norwegian; Swedish; Danish; Brazilian Portuguese; Japanese; and Chinese.

Already in use at more than 2000 locations - leading the way worldwide in this category of product offering - DSF 
enables print service providers to create a unique, loyalty-building user experience for their customers, allowing 
them to easily navigate through a full suite of print products and services all in one place, including personalized 
print items and managed catalogs. Print buyers can shop, specify, proof and buy print products using familiar e-
commerce tools. Inside the print operation, DSF acts as an on-ramp to the digital production workflow and print 
management systems, reducing manual data entry, decreasing the likelihood of print errors, and reducing labor 
costs. 

Bennett Graphics is one of Georgia's premier commercial sheet-fed and digital printers. David Bennett, president, 
said: "Using Digital StoreFront makes it easier for customers to do business with us, while enabling us to better 
manage our production workflow - with integration to the Fiery and our Hagen system. With DSF 3.0, the web 
site has become comparable to the web's most popular business-to-consumer (B2C) sites, in terms of its 
graphically rich look and ease of use. All told, that's an important breadth of functionality that other web-to-print 
offerings can't match."

The solution's international appeal continues to grow. Canon Europe has been successfully offering Digital 
StoreFront to their customers for several years, and is the leading European distributor with installations across 
Europe. 

"There is growing adoption of web-to-print in Europe as print providers seek new ways to increase service levels, 
reduce costs and gain competitive advantage. As one of the leading platforms, we expect great continued 
success with EFI Digital StoreFront," said Antony White, European Solutions Professional of Canon Europe. 
"The newly enhanced DSF has been very well received by our account managers, solutions business 
consultants and most importantly, our customers in many countries. The availability of the software in 'local' 
language is a further enhancement which is proving to be an important differentiator for us in the European 
market." 

Based in Ljungby, Sweden with more than 2,000 employees, Strålfors is an IT-focused business-to-business 
company with a print heritage, providing total solutions within the field of information transfer. Strålfors can 
handle more than 373 million pieces per year with production facilities at five sites in Scandinavia.

"Digital StoreFront has been a key part of our business strategy for printing marketing communications with our 
digital presses since the day it went live, and we now have three sites deployed in Scandinavia with five 
installations handling thousands of jobs per day and increasing rapidly," said Tommy Morin, team manager/senior 
project manager at Strålfors. "The local language support is critical to our customers' success, particularly with 
the high-volume of VDP work they produce."

Chuck Gehman, director of product marketing, EFI Advanced Professional Print Software (APPS), said: "The 
most recent upgrade to DSF included hundreds of customer-requested enhancements, and now we're able to

EFI Adds New PANTONE® Goe System to Comprehensive PANTONE Library Support

Chicago - Graph Expo - Sept. 10, 2007 - EFI, the world leader in customer-focused digital printing innovation, 
today announced the company's expanded relationship with Pantone, Inc., with support for the new PANTONE
Goe System across the EFI product line, in addition to its already comprehensive support of PANTONE Libraries. 
This direct path to Pantone from: the Fiery® color digital print server platform; Fiery Central, a powerful, modular, 
PDF-based production workflow solution; EFI Splash RPX-ii Mac OS X-based workflow solution; MicroPress 
raster-based color and black and white workflow solution; and Bestcolor®-driven proofing and production solutions 
Colorproof XF and Fiery XF, delivers increased accuracy and flexibility across a wide range of print media - for 
customers in creative and printing environments producing color documents. 

At Graph Expo (Sept. 9-12, 2007, Chicago's McCormick Place ), demonstrations of EFI solutions' Pantone-
enabled features for high-end process-color matching of spot-color printing will be highlighted in EFI booth 
3000, and in EFI's partners' booths throughout the conference, and will feature EFI's integration of the new 
PANTONE Goe Color Library as well as the PANTONE MATCHING SYSTEM®. Additionally at Graph Expo, 
EFI will demonstrate the ability to print PANTONE Reference Charts from Fiery-driven digital output devices. 
This 19-page downloadable PostScript file of color patches shows CMYK equivalents for each installed 
PANTONE Library, indicating what the final output color will look like from the Fiery-driven printer.

From Pantone, Inc., the global authority on color and provider of professional color standards for the design 
industries, the PANTONE Goe System features 2,058 new PANTONE Colors, and includes tools and interactive 
software to improve versatility in an increasingly global, multimedia environment. Print service providers and 
graphic arts professionals deploying Pantone-calibrated EFI solutions are more efficient and accurate, saving 
time by eliminating manual input of color definitions, and reducing inaccuracies in the final output.

"We enjoy a long-standing, collaborative partnership with EFI, sharing a goal of delivering technology 
innovation that heightens color creativity and impacts the success of print service providers," said Andy Hatkoff, 
vice president of Advanced Color Technology at Pantone. "State-of-the-art EFI solutions, particularly the Fiery, 
are extremely popular among graphic arts professionals and print service providers alike. EFI's support will have 
a terrific impact on the industry's adoption of the PANTONE Goe System."

Unique in the industry, the EFI Fiery platform provides combined RIP (raster image processing) and digital 
output device calibration, which ensures for customers that their entire printing system is PANTONE Goe 
System calibrated. This calibration delivers the most accurate color possible, tailored to specific printer devices 
and their media. PANTONE Libraries are directly integrated into the Fiery workflow, and operators can readily 
print the full color swatch libraries from the Fiery-driven output device. Print service providers are able to show 
their customers actual Fiery-printed-Pantone-calibrated swatches - providing accurate color representation from 
the actual device that will print the job. 

"With EFI solutions our customers are accustom to achieving the highest quality, most accurate color, and the 
new PANTONE Goe System complements our technology, taking color matching to a new level, said Frank 
Mallozzi, senior vice president, Worldwide Sales and Marketing, EFI. "Pantone has designed a system that 
enables our customers to define color from the moment of creative inspiration to the delivery of a finished project 
with its related electronic and printed components - and ultimately that supports EFI's objective of delivering 
innovative solutions based on industry standards that make our customers more competitive, efficient and 
profitable."

Print service providers are able to get the most out of their digital print production engine and their people when 
their engine is driven by the next-generation EFI Fiery platform. Renowned for its intuitive user experience, the 
new Fiery platform features: a powerful, unique Visual Workflow that optimizes productivity by providing job 
progress at-a-glance; built in "how-to" guides to address a wide range of operator expertise; and the most open, 
powerful VDP workflow capability, including support of VDP languages Fiery FreeForm, industry standard PPML, 
and a host of legacy proprietary languages, and collaborations with the leading VDP software vendors. With 
Fiery Spot On, users can create accurate color matching for logo colors and other spot colors in an automatic, 
application-independent workflow. This feature allows the management of named colors on the Fiery, including 
all PANTONE names in PostScript or PDF documents. Spot On Color Search provides an intuitive graphical 
user interface for creating and editing named colors directly.

Colorproof XF transforms inkjet and laser printers into powerful proofing and production systems and is renowned 
for providing customers with outstanding performance, color quality, flexibility and a highly intuitive interface. 
The XF Server on Mac OS X makes the system a complete cross-platform solution. With its client/server 
architecture and modular concept, Colorproof XF offers an unprecedented level of customization to fit print 
service provider's individual needs. Fiery XF provides leading-edge technology for superwide format printing 
for production and proofing requirements, delivering high-speed processing, exceptional color quality and
increased productivity. By incorporating the PANTONE Color definitions into EFI Colorproof XF and Fiery XF, 
customers can simply process print jobs containing PANTONE Color separations and automatically produce a 
color-accurate output of the complete print job.

PANTONE Goe System-calibrated EFI Fiery solutions are available through EFI's EOM partners. EFI Bestcolor 
Technology-driven solutions supporting the PANTONE Goe System are sold through certified EFI dealers and

EFI Showcases Powerful PrintFlow Scheduling Solution for Prograph Customers

Graph Expo - Chicago - Sept. 10, 2007 - EFI (Nasdaq: EFII), the world leader in customer-focused digital printing 
innovation, is showcasing PrintFlow for Prograph in booth 3000 at Graph Expo (Sept. 9-12, McCormick Place), 
a solution that supplements the detailed production planning offered by EFI Prograph with the power of PrintFlow 
Dynamic Scheduling and a host of features designed specifically for the publication and high-volume printer. 
The PrintFlow/Prograph combination of planning, imposition, dynamic scheduling, and real-time shop floor data 
collection is unique in the print industry. In addition to working with Prograph standalone solutions, the PrintFlow 
version also greatly enhances the functionality of PrintFlow when used with Hagen Prograph, the complete MIS 
and production planning solution for large commercial and publication printing companies.

The challenges of the publication and high-volume commercial printer are distinctive, and this toolset addresses 
these challenges at a whole new level. The ability to synchronize production, to optimize resource utilization, to 
more accurately forecast production speeds and changeover times, and to reduce waste throughout the process 
will have a significant impact on performance and profitability. 

"A single error in the planning and execution of a publication or high-volume job can cost a business tens of 
thousands of dollars," said Udi Arieli, director of product management, EFI Advanced Professional Print Software 
(APPS). "Likewise, the inability to manage jobs and job components at the highest level causes inefficient 
capacity utilization, delays, non-chargeable return-to-press incidents, and cost overruns. PrintFlow for Prograph 
addresses these issues head-on." 

Major features of PrintFlow for Prograph include:

Capacity Maximizing Job Sequence Planning: Improves workflow management and capacity utilization by 
sequencing jobs using smart, rules-based production and delivery priorities. 
Advanced To-Do List: Detailed tasks for new jobs are held in a queue for review and scheduling with computer 
assistance that suggests the best placement of those jobs to optimize production and delivery for all jobs in the 
entire plant. 
Multi-Run Functionality: PrintFlow for Prograph "bunches" tasks for effective management of multiple versions, 
letting the scheduler sequence, bump, merge, or "unbunch" them on the fly. 
Routing and Tandem Run Capabilities: PrintFlow for Prograph is equipped to maximize Prograph's job routes 
with special tandem (simultaneous) work center assignments and automatic creation of all inter-process 
dependencies down to the version level. 
Advanced Split, Drag and Drop: This feature lets the scheduler - working directly on the Gantt chart - select, 
split, drag and drop tasks with automated setup and switchover calculations.

In addition to these capabilities, PrintFlow for Prograph includes a multi-plant option and long-term versus 
short-term scheduling, can be accessed via the Web, and provides a highly customizable, powerful ad-hoc 
reporting feature. 

PrintFlow for Prograph serves as an operational umbrella for the print company's management and production 
processes. When combined with EFI Prograph's planning capabilities, EFI PrinterSite (Internet) desktops, and 
EFI Computer Integrated Manufacturing (CIM) tools (Auto-Count Direct Machine Interface and JDF-based 
integration), the publication and high-volume commercial printer are afforded their best chance to streamline 
workflows and maximize profit potential. For more information please contact 1-800-875-7117.

EFI PrintSmith Scheduling Module Receives Top Marks from Customers

Graph Expo - Chicago - Sept. 10, 2007 - EFI (Nasdaq: EFII), the world leader in customer-focused digital 
printing innovation, has received early acclaim for its newly released Scheduling Module for PrintSmith (on 
display in booth 3000 at Graph Expo, Sept. 9-12, McCormick Place).

EFI PrintSmith is a flexible, feature rich print management information system and the market leading solution for
offset and digital production shops. The system's new electronic scheduling option is designed to replace 
whiteboard and/or spreadsheet-based production management solutions. This new scheduling capability 
provides real-time information on production load, downtime, overtime, and milestones for business-critical 
activities. It has easy to use, highly visual "drag and drop" functionality, and integrates with the PrintSmith 
Tracker module, which provides users with real-time shop floor data collection and job costing.

AlphaGraphics is a visual communications franchisor providing a wide range of solutions for design, digital
copying, printing, one-to-one marketing, digital archiving and mailing services for small- to medium-sized 
businesses as well as corporate entities.

"The initial reaction to the new PrintSmith Scheduling Module has been fantastic - there was standing room 
only in a session I gave at our recent Annual Conference," said Danny Wilson, regional manager of Alphagraphics. 
"We believe there is much efficiency to be gained with the software, including faster turn-around times and 
fewer errors on jobs. In addition, we think this tool will improve the customer experience with Alphagraphics. Our 
franchisees are already satisfied PrintSmith customers, and now PrintSmith Scheduling offers them another 
powerful tool in today's competitive marketplace."

Mid-size commercial printer Holmes Printing, of Springfield, Ohio, recently began using the Scheduling Module; 
they have been a PrintSmith user for 15 years. Brian Holmes, Production Manager, said: "The biggest benefit 
the new module has brought us is the ability to gather more real-time production information for each department,
which allows us to see any potential bottlenecks in advance and be able to adjust the schedule as needed, 
before a problem occurs. That's huge. And when we do have to make changes it's as simple as dragging and 
dropping jobs to a new timeslot or day. It's also great that every PrintSmith user can now view the schedule and 
see the workflow without having to pull an actual job ticket."

PrintSmith Scheduling is available now. For more information please contact 1-800-875-7117.

Hundreds of Updates to EFI PrinterSite Internal on Display at Graph Expo

Graph Expo - Chicago - Sept. 10, 2007 - EFI (Nasdaq: EFII), the world leader in customer-focused digital 
printing innovation, debuted the upcoming version of its PrinterSite® Internal solution at Graph Expo (booth 
3000, Sept. 9-12, McCormick Place). PrinterSite Internal is part of EFI's PrinterSite suite, a set of Internet 
applications designed to leverage EFI Print management products to increase customer loyalty, provide access 
into larger accounts, streamline the order process, achieve seamless workflow integration, and increase 
businesses' revenue streams.

PrinterSite Internal is a powerful tool for the print service provider's team that allows them to collect and share 
vital information in real-time, from anywhere in the world via a standard web browser. The application provides 
the sales force, customer service representatives, and managers with secure, direct access to information in EFI 
Print MIS systems, from outside the plant. PrinterSite Internal lets them submit and review requests for quotes, 
place and monitor orders, and review job status.

The upcoming release has more than 100 enhancements, primarily for performance and compatibility with new 
versions of EFI's popular Hagen, Logic and PSI print MIS systems. There are also search and filtering 
enhancements, with results paging. The new Form Designer 7, which allows custom web-based forms to be 
created and deployed for use with PrinterSite Internal, similarly has a large number of enhancements, focused 
on building more sophisticated forms-while at the same time making it easier to use. 

J.S. McCarthy is one of New England's oldest and largest sheetfed printing operations. Judi Hansen, director 
of Information Technology, said: "PrinterSite Internal is an integral part of our production workflow. Our request 
for quotes generated from PrinterSite Internal feed directly into our Hagen estimating module and pre-build 90% 
of the estimate. This product has allowed us to merge our estimating and customer service departments and 
still respond quicker to our customers' requests. With the new paging feature in PrinterSite Internal the program 
is easier to use and navigate. And Form Designer 7 is a key tool to allow us to create and modify forms needed 
for the site. Overall the new options and features give us more flexibility in updating the site. We look forward to 
the continued development of PrinterSite Internal and how it can help us optimize our workflow."

"This is the most significant release of PrinterSite Internal to date, and the hundreds of enhancements - many 
the result of customer requests - will make it an even more powerful tool for print service providers," said Chuck 
Gehman, director of product management, EFI Advanced Professional Print Software (APPS).

Next-Generation EFI Fiery PDF Workflow to Integrate Adobe PDF Print Engine

Connect - Las Vegas - June 11, 2007 - EFI (Nasdaq: EFII), the world leader in color digital print servers, 
superwide format printers, and print management solutions, today announced plans to integrate Adobe® PDF 
Print Engine into its next-generation Fiery® System Software. Upon integration completion, Fiery technology 
customers will be able to output Portable Document Format (PDF) files with greater accuracy of rendering (i.e. 
transparencies), faster processing, and improved consistency with Adobe desktop applications, resulting in 
greater efficiencies that lead to improved profits for EFI customers.

Fiery customers, particularly graphic arts professionals, commercial printers, and pre-press companies in hybrid 
offset/digital environments, deploying the Adobe PDF Print Engine will benefit from greater compatibility between
 Adobe Acrobat and Fiery RIPing (raster image processor) capabilities. Also, device-independent workflows will 
be enhanced via seamless JDF (Job Definition Format) integration and common technologies in the PDF Print 
Engine and Adobe Creative Suite.

More than 14 million users worldwide benefit from EFI Fiery power, performance, and speed, as well as its 
unmatched color output, extensive variable data printing support, and superior workflow management, which 
won the leading industry analysts BERTL's Best Award for Innovation for 2007. EFI's integrating Adobe PDF 
Print Engine, with its PDF content definition strengths, will allow PDF print jobs to stay device-independent 
across the workflow. The Fiery workflow integrating the Adobe PDF Print Engine will streamline offset/digital 
hybrid environments, allowing easy late-stage content corrections, enabling job repurposing for output on 
different printing systems and providing Fiery-driven on-screen, high-resolution previews.

"Our close working relationship with EFI ensures that new, flexible high quality print workflows are being 
enabled by the seamless integration of Adobe PDF Print Engine software with Fiery technology," said Don 
Walker, senior director of Print Publishing at Adobe.

"The Adobe PDF Print Engine is the first PDF RIP we've seen that natively integrates the content, PDF, with 
the job ticket, JDF," said Mehran Farimani, senior vice president and general manager, Fiery Products, EFI. 
"EFI is incorporating Adobe's newest technology into the Fiery, the industry's most advanced print server that 
turns digital production print engines into most effective competitive advantage, to provide our customers with 
greater efficiencies that help them profitably grow their digital printing business."

also includes streamlined installers for both the network and client installations which have been very well 
received by the beta site network administrators.

The release also includes over 25 enhancements as a direct result of input from the PSI User Advisory Council, 
primarily usability, search and reporting features. In addition, an all new accounting API supports Macola ES, 
with upcoming support for other accounting packages including QuickBooks.

The future version of PSI has stronger integration to EFI PrinterSite® Internal and PrinterSite Fulfillment solutions. 
For PrinterSite Internal users, a new "Custom Order Form" allows for job level data to be added to the RFQ 
when submitting a job, streamlining the process. PSI users of PrinterSite Fulfillment now have tighter integration
between this Internet-based fulfillment desktop and the management system workflow, including a new job notes, 
new ship-to address management, and new unit-of-measure flexibility.

Another highlight of the upcoming version is integration to EFI Auto-Count Lite, a foundation version of the full

logs material usage, collects, and counts business critical information such as press status and speeds directly 
from equipment, greatly improving capacity utilization while reducing waste and increasing profitability by enabling 
companies to more effectively manage their business operations. Now information from Auto-Count Lite will flow 
seamlessly into PSI, reducing data re-entry and improving reporting capabilities.

"The next version of PSI is focused on customer-requested enhancements and integration improvements that 
will make using the product more efficient while increasing the quality of the data and reports," said Clay Horsley, 
EFI PSI Product Manager. "As with our last version, customer input was an important consideration in determining

quote, and generate improved status e-mail messages.
    * PrinterSite Exchange provides Logic users with a customer-facing digital desktop for specifying, ordering, 
planning and invoicing jobs. This release of Logic provides full integration with PrinterSite Exchange 3.0.

In addition to PrinterSite integration enhancements, the future release of Logic includes phase-one integration 
with Manhattan Associates' ILS Warehouse and Fulfillment solutions. This integration expands Logic's ability to 
streamline the management of large finished goods inventories, providing new support for complex warehousing, 
picking, shipping, costing, invoicing and updating of inventory records.

The upcoming release includes support for super-wide format estimating and job costing including enhancements 
to the Logic Quick Quote module.

The future version also enhances the digital workflow with the EFI Fiery® print server. The content file is now 
carried by Logic, allowing seamless communication with the Fiery, providing an automated link between the 
management system and the Fiery production engine. This link streamlines the communication process, improving 
workflow speed and accuracy. This workflow was demonstrated recently as part of a GATF "Implementing 
Process Automation" event.

Maureen Sheldon, EFI Logic product manager, said: "The upcoming release of Logic focuses on customer-
requested features and builds on the integration work of the past several versions to ensure users have the

Solutions (ILS) for advanced warehouse management and inventory control. Enhancements to the integration 
between Hagen OA and ILS allow for greater flexibility in implementing and maintaining the interface, and also 
offer improvements in the customer's ability to automate data movement within the end-to-end workflow.

The upcoming version also has improved integration to PrinterSite Exchange, EFI's web-to-print solution. The 
integration lets printers' customers submit jobs from the popular web application, and enables the printing plant 
to manage the planning, production, scheduling, invoicing and accounting of those jobs from within the Hagen 
MIS environment. This integration has been improved to better support the sending of data between the website 
and Hagen, including customer details, contacts, shipment methods and expense codes to more completely 
create quotes and other job documents. For more information, please contact 1-800-875-7117.

EFI Ships Powerful New Version of PrintSmith MIS

Connect - Las Vegas - June 11, 2007 - EFI (Nasdaq: EFII), the world leader in color digital print servers, 
superwide format printers, and business management software, today announced it is shipping EFI PrintSmith 
version 8.0, with new product features to improve efficiency and save customers time and money. EFI PrintSmith 
is a flexible, feature rich print management information system and the market leading solution for print and copy 
shops.

As part of our efforts to expand the devices our clients can support, PrintSmith 8.0 can now help manage roll-fed 
presses, wide-format and super-wide format printers.

Material calculations for roll-fed presses can be done by weight to support how paper rolls are typically ordered. 
For wide-format and super-wide format printers, materials and labor calculations can be done as a function of 
the area being printed, while pricing can be done by run or finished size with multiple calculation methods to 
determine price (including area). PrintSmith users can define each roll-fed press or wide-format printer within the 
system, entering machine costs, speed capabilities, minimum/maximum width of rolls, etc. The software also 
supports finishing capabilities for these processes. These significant enhancements represent a large opportunity 
for PrintSmith clients to take advantage of this rapidly growing segment of the industry.

Other highlights of 8.0 include a "Quick Access Panel" that enables each user to customize the functions they 
see in this special window for faster access to commonly used features; paper calculator templates for quicker 
job set-up; automated security back-up of the software; and full "cost plus" system capabilities.

Additionally, a new powerful electronic scheduling module is available for purchase. This module provides 
information on load factor, downtown, overtime, milestone activities, and more. It has easy to use "drag and 
drop" functionality, and integrates with the Tracker module, which provides users with real-time shop floor data 
collection and job costing.

Ron Woodruff is general manager, commercial division, of Relevant Works, a strategic marketing company in 
Ohio. He said, "I've had a 'wish list' of features for PrintSmith for years and 8.0 answers almost all of them. I 
haven't been this excited about new features since Report Writer. I'm especially pleased with the new Quick 
Access Panel and Scheduler."

"PrintSmith is already indispensable for small print shops, copy centers and other on-demand digital environments, 
and the latest version goes another step further in automating the business process so our customers can 
improve productivity and increase profits," said Marc Olin, senior vice president and general manager, EFI 
Advanced Professional Print Software (APPS).

Integration Expansion
PrintSmith integrates directly with EFI Fiery-driven output devices for job ticketing and data collection, allowing 
even greater productivity improvements. And 8.0 now enables digital assets to be attached within PrintSmith 
and sent directly to the Fiery.

Version 8.0 is also integrated with EIS, EFI's visual tool for business analysis which provides an interactive 
"command center" that instantly recaps the state-of-the-business and links to other key data.

PrintSmith Site Enhancements
PrintSmith Site enables printers to offer online products and services with complete integration into the PrintSmith 
system for faster job turnaround and a more streamlined workflow, from the ordering user's desktop through to 
production. Version 2.5 of PrintSmith Site has a completely redesigned, professional looking, and intuitive user 
interface that is similar to EFI's Digital StoreFront product, and adds award-winning personalization technology 
from XMPie.

Availability PrintSmith 8.0 is available now and will be offered free to customers currently on EFI's maintenance 
program. For more information, please contact 800-875-7117.

CLEMSON, S.C. - May 21, 2007 - EFI (Nasdaq: EFII), the world leader in color digital print servers, superwide 
format printers and inks, and print management solutions, today launched EFI ColorproofT XF for Flexo at the 
Digital Proofing for Flexography Seminar Series at Clemson University. Colorproof XF for Flexo is EFI's 
industry-leading proofing and large-format production solution designed specifically for customers in the

EFI Introduces the New Digital StoreFront, Its Most Intuitive and Powerful Web-to-Print Solution

Hundreds of Enhancements In Digital StoreFront Version 3.0 Streamline Production for the Print Service 
Provider with Powerful Back-End Automation While Providing an Intuitive Online Experience for Customers

BOSTON -- EFI (Nasdaq: EFII), the world leader in color digital print servers, superwide format printers, and 
business management software, today debuted a dramatically reengineered and redesigned version of its 
market-leading web-to-print platform, EFI Digital StoreFront(TM), providing EFI customers with an intuitive 
e-commerce interface and powerful back-end automation. Developed with input from hundreds of EFI 
customers, Digital StoreFront (DSF) version 3.0 includes a completely redesigned and highly customizable user 
interface, easier and faster web-based administration, new VDP choices, and hundreds of new features across 
the entire system.
 
The new DSF will be unveiled in EFI partner booths at On Demand, April 16-19, Boston Convention & Exhibition 
Center, including Canon (booth 1400), FujiFilm Graphic Systems (booth 651), Konica-Minolta (booth 1215), and 
Ricoh (booth 619). 

Already in use at more than 1600 locations, DSF enables print service providers to create a unique, loyalty-
building user experience for their customers, allowing them to easily navigate through a full suite of print products 
and services all in one place, including personalized print items and managed catalogs. Print buyers can shop, 
specify, proof and buy print products using familiar e-commerce tools. Inside the print operation, DSF acts as an 
on-ramp to the digital production workflow and print management systems, reducing manual data entry, 
decreasing the likelihood of print errors, and reducing labor costs. 

Marc Olin, senior vice president/general manager, EFI Professional Printing Applications, said: "The print 
process continues to grow more complex, so making it easier and more accessible for document owners and 
print buyers helps deliver more volume to service providers. To handle this increased volume, with shorter 
turnaround times, requires automation for print service providers to keep costs down and margins high. EFI 
Digital StoreFront enables this automation to begin at the customer's desktop, allowing providers to successfully 
extend their services to the Web while streamlining their production workflow. After several previous successful 
releases of the product, and abundant customer input, Digital StoreFront 3.0 incorporates hundreds of new 
features, most notably a world-class user interface, enhanced VDP options, and greater customization 
capabilities." 

Major 3.0 Enhancements 

The highlights of the new version are as follows: 

DSF now has a unified "storefront" shopping experience, enabling customers to purchase a full array of products 
and services from a single interface, including non-print items, kits (a set of products that are ordered together), 
and personalized products. 

Digital StoreFront 3.0 is much more easily customized, letting the print service provider control the "look and feel" 
of sites deployed for each of their customers (or even for anonymous "walk-up" Internet browsing users). User 
interface elements such as branding (customer logos and color schemes), number of columns, fonts, access to 
specific features of the site, as well as new merchandising features (to encourage buying) can be deployed 
through a simple interface. And instead of relying on a built-in library of images, the administrator can now use 
their own graphics and images to tailor the site. 

Digital StoreFront has always made it simple for customers to buy print. Now, easier and faster job specification 
and ticketing templates let users - with little or no technical expertise in printing - submit files, and then build and 
order more sophisticated print products. The new interface is the result of extensive usability testing. Once the 
product is defined by the user, a new real-time product preview lets users see an on-screen graphical 
representation of the product they are ordering - showing the whole product, down to the level of binding 
choices and colored paper stocks. 

New features to support print services providers' growing business in wide and superwide format products have 
been added to version 3.0. The graphically appealing web site and visual catalog make it an ideal tool for selling. 
The system now has support for large paper and other substrates (glass, gatorfoam, sintra, etc.), roll or sheet 
media. Print service providers can employ different pricing models for different manufacturing steps (area based, 
fee based, etc.), mixing and matching within the same product, providing unparalleled flexibility. Media, printing, 
and post print processes can all be priced individually by flat cost, area, or quantity. In addition, many shops 
employing wide and superwide output also produce and sell items like trade show walls, light boxes, easels, 
mounting kits, and other items, that can be ordered via DSF in addition to print. 

For greater VDP power, Digital StoreFront 3.0 adds the XMPie personalization technology. This will be offered 
as an option, in addition to the FusionPro engine, making DSF the only solution to offer a choice of technology 
providers. Both allow print service providers to offer customers single record (versioning) products such as 
business cards, as well as 1:1 personalized products to support applications such as direct mail campaigns. 

EFI Digital StoreFront Stands Out in the Marketplace 
DSF is the only offering on the market that gives customers a choice between hosting the application 
themselves and using EFI to host it for them (delivered as a managed "Software as a Service," or SaaS). 
Companies that choose to self-host can provide their own hardware, or purchase a bundle that includes 
server-class Dell equipment. 

The unlimited license EFI PrintMessenger PDF generating drivers are another unique feature included standard 
in the product. These ensure that all files submitted by customers are in print-ready PDF format, eliminating 
guesswork and inaccuracies in the production workflow at the printing operation. Using PrintMessenger, 
customers "print" to DSF via an installed virtual printer from almost any software application, whether using an 
Apple Macintosh or Windows PC. 

To leverage other powerful EFI solutions, Digital StoreFront provides integration with workflow and MIS solutions 
by creating an end-to-end content and commerce workflow from the desktop of the printer's customer directly to 
EFI Fiery(R), Balance(TM) and MicroPress(R) solutions for digital printing, and to EFI Hagen(TM), Logic(TM) and 
PSI(TM) print management systems. 

Availability 

The English language version of EFI Digital StoreFront 3.0 will be available in May. French, Italian, German, 
Spanish, Dutch and Norwegian, along with 7 other language versions, will ship in the near future. Digital 
StoreFront is available from many EFI partners including Canon, FujiFilm Graphic Systems, IKON, Konica-Minolta, 
Ricoh and Toshiba, as well as independent dealers, in North America, Europe and Asia Pacific. For more 
information please contact 1-800-875-7117.

EFI Increases Customers' Profit Potential with Variable Data Printing's New Revenue Stream Opportunities

FOSTER CITY, Calif.  - EFI (Nasdaq: EFII), the world leader in color digital print servers, superwide format 
printers and inks, and print management solutions, today announced several recent developments supporting 
the company's intent to drive the ubiquity of variable data printing (VDP), which represents a significant new 
revenue stream opportunity for its customers. EFI will have a major presence at the PODi 
(Print On Demand Initiative) Applications Forum, which will be held Feb.12-14, 2007 in Anaheim, Calif., where 
the company will launch the Fiery® FreeForm Kit, a new tool to help customers implement personalized, 
one-to-one marketing campaigns. And in an industry first and a proof point of the highest level of quality, EFI

XML(extensible markup language)-based industry standard print language developed by PODi) Test Suite. 

According to a recent article published in Cygnus Business Media publication Printing News1, printers who offer 
one-to-one marketing campaigns as a service to their customers see an increase in the value of an average 
order by 24.5 percent, and improved customer retention by 47.6 percent. Printers' customers experience

existing workflows and delivers consistency regardless of whether the job is VDP or non-VDP. Because the 
Internet is an easy way for EFI customers to work with their customers on one-to-one marketing projects, VDP

Breakthrough VUTEk BioVu Inks From EFI Now Commercially Available

FOSTER CITY, Calif.--EFI (Nasdaq:EFII), the world leader in color digital print servers, superwide format inkjet 
printers and inks, and print management solutions for commercial and enterprise printing, today announced 
commercial availability of its VUTEk(R) BioVu(TM) inks -- the first environmentally friendly solvent inks made 
with totally renewable resources. 
BioVu is another of EFI's "Green" initiatives and part of the company's long-held commitment to improving the 
environment and benefiting its global customers. "Unlike many new products, which are step change 
improvements, BioVu ink is a revolutionary advancement that will improve not only our customers' environmental 
footprint, but also their bottom lines," said Guy Gecht, EFI CEO. "It represents our commitment to protecting an 
increasingly fragile Earth, one we hope others in the industry will follow." 
"We have been testing the inks in the U.S. and Europe for nearly a year, with the final formulation in the field 
for the last 60 days," said Scott Schinlever, vice president and general manager of EFI's ink division. "The 
results have exceeded expectations, and we are very excited about making this unique ink commercially 
available to the superwide format industry." 
VUTEk BioVu from EFI is the first solvent-based ink made from a renewable resource (derived from corn), and 
the only ink recognized by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), thereby establishing an entirely 
new category of truly environmentally friendly inks. EFI's BioVu ink is made from food-grade ingredients yet 
delivers the benefits of traditional solvent inks without the compromises inherent in eco-solvent and aqueous 
inks. This includes the same color gamut as traditional solvent inks so that users can seamlessly switch to 
these environmentally conscious inks with no workflow or prepress process modifications. 
Like other solvent-based inks, VUTEk BioVu provides extreme durability, strong bonding to uncoated surfaces
and great resistance to UV light and mechanical wear. But unlike other solvent inks on the market, BioVu inks 
are designed specifically to run in high-production environments and provide high print quality while delivering 
the best health and environmental profile in the marketplace. Although water-based inks are also environmentally
friendly, they have significant limitations in terms of the applications for which they can be used. And other 
solvent-based inks positioned as environmentally friendly still offer poor health and environmental profiles and 
contain volatile organic compounds (VOCs) with hazardous air pollutants (HAPs), a component deemed by the 
U.S. EPA to have a particularly poor toxicological profile when released to the environment through evaporation. 
"Each year, commercial formulators use millions of pounds of chemical ingredients that one way or another find 
their way into the environment," said Schinlever. "Our customers have made it clear that they want the ability to 
print superwide graphics without bothersome fumes or expensive ventilation systems. Our environmentally friendly 
BioVu ink, made from renewable resources, is the only ink that effectively addresses these concerns." 

One such customer is The Big Print of San Francisco and Seattle. "In developing our BioGraphix 
environmentally friendly printing platform, we have sourced a variety of environmentally friendly materials, 
including fabrics manufactured in VOC-free factories and pressure sensitive vinyl alternatives," said Jon 
Zinsmeyer, founder and president and one of the VUTEk BioVu test sites. "Until now, the missing link has been 
environmentally friendly solvent inks for superwide format printers. VUTEk BioVu inks from EFI have filled that
gap."

Other business benefits of VUTEk BioVu inks include lower disposal costs since there are no hazardous 
materials (hazmat); reduced odor on final printed materials; and a more comfortable working environment for 
employees. In new shops or installations, no ventilation and burner systems are required to meet OSHA regulations 
since there are no harmful VOC emissions.

The patent-pending, preferable chemistry inks include VUTEk's BioVu in Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, Black and 
BioVu Light Cyan, Light Magenta, Light Yellow and Light Black for superwide format inkjet printing operations. 
BioVu inks are manufactured for use on EFI's VUTEk 3360 solvent printer. EFI plans to extend BioVu inks to 
its currently offered superwide format solvent printer models in 2007.

In addition to the development of environmentally friendly VUTEk BioVu inks, EFI has been leading by example 
with other environmentally conscious initiatives. EFI Fiery(R) digital print servers were among the first to ship as 
RoHS (Restriction of the use of Hazardous Substances)-compliant, representing an unprecedented engineering
development effort and manufacturing implementation. Additionally, EFI's 10 story, 300,000 square foot 
corporate headquarters is designed to harness the Earth's natural resources to aid in heating and cooling the 
space. EFI's energy conservation measures save the equivalent of 783 kilowatts of energy per day, which is 
enough to power approximately 600 homes.

EFI Introduces Auto-Count OpForma to Automate Data Collection for Production Workstation Operations

Chicago - Graph Expo - Oct. 16, 2006 - EFI (Nasdaq: EFII), the world leader in digital controllers, superwide 
format printers and inks, and print management solutions, is previewing an innovative new solution at Graph 
Expo that automatically collects, tracks and reports workstation productivity and seamlessly integrates to EFI 
print MIS systems. Named Auto-Count OpForma, the new product will be on display for the first time integrated 
with EFI Hagen OA in EFI booth 4212 through October 18.

For many printing companies, the only performance or costing metric tracked in pre-production operations is the 
number of plates burned. Costs associated with labor-intensive activities like file preparation, preflight, page 
building and creative design work are often neglected or tracked manually. Removing dependence on paper 
time sheets or manual data entry into stand-alone job ticketing systems, Auto-Count OpForma addresses the 
challenge of obtaining accurate, timely and consistent information about activities performed against specific jobs. 
With Auto-Count OpForma, employees can switch from one job to another, over the course of a shift, a day, 
or even over a period of weeks, without having to stop work to record their activities the solution sees which 
job is actually being worked on, and records the activities the operator performs automatically.

The MIS integration enables the delivery of costing information derived from the activities of operator 
workstations to the EFI MIS; the solution does this by connecting the MIS jobs with Digital Assets (production 
files). In addition, Auto-Count OpForma works on both Macintosh and Windows platforms, adapting to the 
prepress operating environment that a client chooses in their shop, even if their EFI MIS system is Windows-
based.

"EFI Auto-Count OpForma is the first performance improvement solution to automatically track and report 
workstation activities and provide robust management tools, all working together to create an environment of 
accountability and increased productivity," said Chuck Gehman, director of product marketing at EFI. "With 
margins getting tighter and printers increasingly relying on capturing revenue for value-added services they 
perform, Auto-Count OpForma is an important addition to EFI's suite of management solutions."

Auto-Count OpForma provides the data needed for managers to make decisions that increase productivity, 
dramatically highlighting operational efficiencies. Managers can clearly see what operators are doing, and the 
granular detail of job status, whether on a single-job or across all in-progress jobs. In addition to identifying which 
employees are the most productive, the solution helps establish benchmarks for productivity.

Unlike any other solution, Auto-Count OpForma automatically collects raw operational data from production 
desktops. Operators can work on multiple jobs simultaneously, without having to login and logout of each job. 
By eliminating the need for manual data input from production workstation operators, Auto-Count OpForma directly 
addresses the inherent weakness, inaccuracy and non-productive operational overhead found when manual 
entry is the primary method of data collection, enabling stakeholders to receive reliable, accurate and actionable 
production intelligence. The tool is smart enough to sense when a workstation is idle, and will not record time 
against the job that is currently being worked on. In addition, Auto-Count OpForma senses which job is currently 
active and being worked on, and records time only against that job, even if multiple jobs are open inside an 
application. By using this type of data gathering, the accuracy of job costing and billing data is greatly improved.

EFI Debuts New Version of Popular PrintSmith Site Job Submission and E-Commerce Module

Chicago - Graph Expo - Oct. 16, 2006 - EFI (Nasdaq: EFII), the world leader in digital controllers, superwide 
format printers and inks, and print management solutions, is debuting a major upgrade to the popular EFI 
PrintSmith Site®, the job submission and e-commerce add-on module to EFI PrintSmith®, in booth 4212 at 
Graph Expo through October 18. PrintSmith is a comprehensive, flexible and feature rich print management 
information system and the market leading solution for print and copy shops; PrintSmith Site enables printers to 
offer online products and services with complete integration into the PrintSmith system for faster job turnaround 
and a more streamlined workflow, from the ordering user's desktop through to production.

Available in November, version 2.5 of PrintSmith Site has a completely redesigned, professional looking, and 
intuitive user interface that is similar to EFI's Digital StoreFrontT product, and adds award-winning personalization 
technology from XMPie, Inc.

The new user interface is the result of direct feedback from the many users of the PrintSmith Site application, 
which has been available for more than four years. Ad-hoc file uploads, as well as the popular File-Print PDF 
conversion and job submission workflow (featuring EFI's PrintMessenger drivers), have been streamlined. 
Shopping, ordering and check-out, as well as Request for Quote (RFQ) workflows, have all been dramatically I
mproved to conform to current best-practices for business-to-consumer e-commerce web sites, making PrintSmith 
Site easy for customers who have no technical knowledge of printing.

Perhaps the most dramatic new feature is the inclusion of the popular XMPie personalization technology in 
PrintSmith Site. The product has always included a simple, proprietary tool, called Design Composer, for the 
creation of customizable items like business cards and letterhead. With the addition of XMPie, the personalization 
capabilities of PrintSmith Site reach a new level of sophistication, and the types of products that can be supported 
are extended to far more visually rich applications, including direct mail pieces. PrintSmith Site VDP licensees 
will receive a special version of XMPie's uDirect plug-in for Adobe InDesign, specifically for use with the 
application. The PrintSmith Site/XMPie combination lets users customize, proof and approve XMPie documents 
on the web, then produce them seamlessly in the print shop.

"PrintSmith Site continues to provide a valuable tool for many printing companies, extending their 'counter' to 
the Internet," said Chuck Gehman, director of product marketing at EFI. "The new version makes the experience 
easier for the printer's customers, and helps to project a more professional image for the printing company 
because of the new user interface. The addition of the XMPie technology to PrintSmith Site creates an 
opportunity for small printers to add Web-to-Print, VDP on the web, in an affordable and accessible way."

AlphaGraphics Phoenix has been a heavy PrintSmith user for more than 5 years. Larry Furlong, Franchise Owner, 
said, "EFI is listening to their users, and fulfilling their promises for PrintSmith Site. This new version will be 
welcomed by our customers and by our own staff. We're really excited about the new user interface, and being 
able to extend personalized products on the web using the new XMPie integration."

of service," said Dr. Kenneth Stack, president of Jetrion. "Our customers and employees will also benefit from 
EFI's culture of innovation and technical depth, allowing us to remain competitive and forward-thinking."

The acquisition is expected to add between $3 million and $5 million in revenues to EFI’s fourth quarter results 
with an immaterial impact on pro forma earnings.  For the full year 2006, Jetrion is expected to post revenues of 
approximately $16 million to $18 million.  The Jetrion products are currently anticipated to show top line growth of 
30-40 percent in 2007 and again have an immaterial impact to pro forma earnings as EFI makes investments to 
expand the Jetrion product line and distribution.

"Leading the charge for complete office publishing capabilities, Fiery System 8e continues EFI's legacy of 
providing increasingly innovative high-value solutions for our customers," said Frank Mallozzi, senior vice 
president of worldwide sales and marketing, EFI. "We've further enhanced our Fiery technology and created
new powerful tools for exceptional color, productivity, flexibility and security to maximize the value of customers'
digital output devices. Enterprise customers who demand consistently high levels of color quality, productivity 
and security will find exceptional value in Fiery System 8e."

Increased Productivity

Fiery System 8e is the industry's first embedded server to extend to the desktop, providing capabilities and a 
convenience that enable an immediate and significant increase in productivity. Fiery System 8e includes the 
recently launched EFI Desktop SE (standard) and EFI Desktop Pro (optional), powerful new solutions that

print the job for pre-defined, guaranteed results, or to virtual printers that simply appear as network printers 
that are configured for specific tasks.

Brilliant, Consistent Color "Out of the Box"

Fiery ColorWise(R), the EFI in-RIP color management system, delivers consistent color across applications, 
computer platforms, color spaces, and color file formats, enabling users in demanding office environments 
to easily achieve undeviating, professional-level color. Fiery System 8e's powerful color features are especially 
important as workgroups evolve and require a transition from standard office applications, such as the Microsoft 
Office suite, to more specialized office publishing tools that leverage the finishing and speed of today's 
color-capable, light production digital output devices.

ColorWise includes automated functionality and expert controls for managing color, productivity and automating 
color document workflow. The optional EFI Spot-On is particularly important when matching corporate branding 
colors is essential. Spot-On guides office users in matching their corporate brand color one time, and then enables 
them to print the accurate Corporate Color, in all of their documents - every time afterward. The optional EFI Color 
Profiler enables finer control over color and print quality.

Robust Security

EFI Fiery technology is based on an open architecture and adheres to industry standard certification policies 
and network authentication protocols. With extensive security features designed to eliminate its unauthorized 
access and operation, reducing costs and down time, Fiery System 8e is readily accepted by the most critical 
MIS/IT organizations, including the Government and its agencies. Fiery System 8e incorporates strong security
utilities ranging from limiting who has access to the controller - leveraging several industry standards including; 
Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) and Internet Protocol (IP) Filtering support, Port Blocking, and LDAP 
Authentication, to securing the data itself - utilizing SNMP V3 (Simple Network Management Protocol, Version 3), 
SSL (Secure Socket Layer) support, Certificate Management, Encryption of Critical Information, and the optional 
Secure Erase feature, which removes all traces of job data from the Fiery hard disk drive.

Fiery System 8e also features IPv6 (Internet Protocol Version 6) support and can be readily installed into IPv6
environments. A requirement for Government sites, IPv6 expands on the current Internet Protocol standard, 
offering better addressing, security and other features to support large worldwide networks.

Enhanced Flexibility

Fiery NetWise(TM) features an innovative design that virtually guarantees easy connectivity and ensures 
seamless integration in any network environment including "peer-to-peer" (SMB) support for Windows(R) 
workstation printing, and LDAP support for directory or a global address book access.

As the demand for one-to-one marketing grows, Fiery System 8e also enables digital output devices in the 
office to produce variable data applications. Fiery System 8e puts variable data printing tools in the hands of 
corporate marketing or creative professionals, increasing the agility with which changing market needs can be
addressed. Users can readily deploy smaller, targeted campaigns that greatly enhance customer response.

The User Advisory Council was conceived at this year's EFI Connect conference, the largest annual user 
conference in the print industry, and plans were formalized soon after. "Connect provides an opportunity for 
unparalleled interaction between customers and EFI staff, but we wanted to provide a more focused venue 
for the fast growing web products portfolio, since they are increasingly mission-critical for our customers," said 
Marc Olin, senior vice president/general manager, EFI Professional Printing Applications.
 
The council meetings are open to all current EFI Web product customers. The first meeting, focused on 
PrinterSite users, took place in mid-June at EFI's Pittsburgh office, with 50 companies in attendance, and the 
PrintSmith Site council meeting took place last week, with 20 companies attending. 
 
"I was very impressed with how customer-focused the EFI organization is and the direct access we had to all 
the EFI people that are involved with making the web products better," said Peter Oostland, director of customer 
service at Hemlock Printers Ltd. (Burnaby, British Columbia), an EFI PSI and PrinterSite Internal and PrinterSite 
Fulfillment user. "It's the first time in my 30 years in the business that a printing software developer has asked for 
my input! The discussions about product direction were spirited, sometimes passionate. At the same time, we 
offered each other suggestions on solutions we developed in our own shops. A forum like this is really a win-win 
for our company, EFI and the industry in general."
 
Chuck Gehman, director of product marketing at EFI, said: "We knew it would be extremely valuable to form a 
strong relationship with a small, focused group of customers, and the initial interest in the Advisory Council has 
proven just that. Our main goal of the council meetings was to listen, listen, listen and engage in an interactive 
dialogue. We also shared our product road-maps for the web applications and went in-depth with customers 
on the very important topics of MIS and workflow integration. Going forward, we'll feed the group's comments 
and feature requests back into the product development process, where customers will see tangible results from 
the time they spend at the meetings."
 
EFI plans to hold three Web Products User Advisory Council meetings per year, with the next one slated for 
February 2007 on the West coast followed by a meeting during Connect 2007, taking place June 10-13 at the 
Wynn Las Vegas. For those customers who attend the meetings, there will be exclusive on-going communications

EFI Premieres Colorproof XF 3.0 for Proofing and Production at Fespa Digital 2006

Fespa Digital - Amsterdam - May 16, 2006 - EFI (Nasdaq: EFII), the world leader in digital controllers, superwide 
format printers and inks, and print management solutions for commercial and enterprise printing, today 
announced EFI Colorproof XF Version 3.0. Significant new features and enhancements include a new output 
option for gravure printers, a new production option for wide format production environments and the Fiery
Option, which seamlessly integrates Fiery-driven devices into the Colorproof XF workflow. Including Best 
Technology and designed for print and prepress professionals, publishers, creatives and photographers, the 
newest version of EFI’s industry-acclaimed, scalable and versatile client/server-based proofing solution will 
premiere at Fespa DigitalEurope, Stand B450, Hall 9.

EFI Colorproof XF turns inkjet and laser printers into powerful proofing and production devices, and Version 3.0 
improves upon the solution’s unrivalled combination of color quality, power, flexibility and ease of use. A key 
component of Colorproof XF is the Fiery Option, fully integrating Fiery controller technology, which is used by 
more than 14 million customers worldwide. The Fiery Option enables these customers to deploy ColorProof XF 
to proof on an inkjet printer and then seamlessly utilize their Fiery for color management and workflow on a 
production laser-based printing system. 

Among the more than 50,000 installations of Colorproof XF is the Leipzig, Germanybased advertising agency 
L-ARTS. L-ARTS and its subsidiaries depend on Colorproof XF to meet the high demands made by their clients, 
including BURGER KING®, and deploying EFI technology supports L-ARTS’ company philosophy of growth, 
innovation and reliability.

"The unique color quality of the products produced with Best Technology is indisputable and we’ve been 
consistently pleased over our many years of use. The client/server architecture and the unlimited number of 
printers enable us to adapt EFI Colorproof XF perfectly to our needs and it grows with our business," said Lorenz 
Ismer, CEO, L-ARTS. Stefan Spiegel, general manager, EFI Graphic Arts Solutions, adds, "EFI is committed to 
continuous R&D across our entire range of solutions in order to address our customers’ evolving needs. 
Colorproof XF 3.0 offers more output options and key feature enhancements, allowing print and prepress 
professionals, publishers, creatives and photographers to produce even greater results."

Powerful new features include:
The new Production Option enables EFI Colorproof XF users to transform their largeformat printers into fast, 
flexible and productive sources of new revenues from posters, banners and similar added-value products. 
Advanced step-and-repeat features not only print multiple copies of images by defining whether images are 
repeated horizontally, vertically or mirror-fashion, they create striking patterns quickly and easily. The Production 
Option also features a tiling function that prints images larger than the printer’s width. Overlaps, crop marks and 
tile numbering are freely definable to simplify reassembling of total image, which can be previewed before final 
output.

A new Gravure Output Option provides a cost-efficient solution to produce data needed for gravure cylinder 
production: users simply create anti-aliased and separated grayscale TIFFs to drive digital engraving machines. 
An enhanced EFI Colorproof XF user interface delivers new levels of productivity. In the basic package, a new 
simplified interface is built around just two views Job Explorer and System Manager. Job Explorer offers new tools 
and selection criteria, while new functions such as copy-and-paste make setting up workflows in System 
Manager easier than ever. Other new features include the ability to create a virtual printer that prints directly 
into a hot folder facilitating hot folder technology and simplified sharing of networked printers and support of 
seven-color input and simulation profiles.

All Colorproof XF packages now incorporate 3D Optimizer, a new easy-to-use tool embedded in the software to 
optimize printer output to a specific reference, whether a printing press or another printer. Optimizer supports the 
Gretag Macbeth Eye-One iO automated measurement device, providing fast, accurate reading of test charts in 
addition to supporting the linearization tool of the basic Colorproof XF package, along with the Color Manager 
and Color Verifier Option.

The functionality of the Color Manager Option - now also available for Mac OS X has been greatly extended, 
enhancing RGB workflows for photographic applications and allowing the creation of device link profiles based 
on up to three different ICC profiles. Also new in the Color Manager Option is support for multi-color profiles for 
inkjet printers for example CMYK + orange + green. Version 3 closes the loop for six-color proofing, since 
Colorproof XF can also process six-color input and simulation profiles. A number of new features in Version 3 
further improve Colorproof XF’s already outstanding color quality.

EFI Colorproof XF Version 3.0 also incorporates new functions for creating proofs that provide the closest match
to ‘real-world’ press output. Users can define the first printable dot, according to the characteristics of specific 
presses, and also simulate the ‘noise’ intensity arising from particular ink/paper/press combinations.

EFI Concludes Largest Ever Connect User Conference

Foster City, Calif.- May 4, 2006 - A record number of printing industry leaders from around the world attended 
EFI Connect 2006 this week, the largest annual user conference in the print industry. During the conference, 
held at The Venetian Resort in Las Vegas, EFI (Nasdaq:EFII) launched enhancements to its suite of 
management systems and web-to-print solutions.

"EFI just concluded its most successful Connect users' conference to date, welcoming more than 1,300 people 
to Las Vegas for four days of expert-led classes and exposure to the newest technology and trends in the industry," 
said Marc Olin, senior vice president/general manager, EFI Professional Printing Applications. "We also took the 
opportunity to preview several upcoming MIS releases and launch the latest versions of our Hagen OA and 
PrinterSite Fulfillment offerings."

Participants learned first-hand about product direction and the future of print technologies from EFI executives, 
and attended a special "fireside chat" with Adobe CEO Bruce Chizen, who shared his vision for the company 
and the industry. Attendees were able to "test drive" the latest EFI products in the lab area, go to more than 200 
educational sessions, network with peers, and visit exhibits from 21 of the industry's leading companies.

Roy Grossman, president and CEO of Sandy Alexander, said: "The time we spend at EFI Connect is critical to 
our business. The classes ensure that we're using our EFI solutions to their fullest, while giving us a chance to 
provide input into future capabilities. And we always come away with a renewed perspective on the trends and 
challenges facing the print industry."

To coincide with the start of Connect, EFI shipped a feature-packed upgrade to its industry-leading EFI 
Hagen(TM) OA management system. Version 9.0 has tighter integration with EFI PrinterSite(R) products, a 
more robust desktop interface, and key enhancements to estimating to handle both multi-web and grand format 
printing capabilities. The system now has integration to both Manhattan Associate's Integrated Logistics 
Solutions for advanced warehouse management and their Outbound Shipping solution.

Product integration was a key message at this year's conference, and the company announced integration of 
its PrinterSite Exchange web-to-print solution with Hagen 9.0 and also demonstrated the existing connectivity 
to Logic. This integration lets printers' customers submit jobs from the popular web application, and then enables

EFI Acquires Prepress Workflow Intelligence Platform

Ipex - Birmingham, England - April 4, 2006- EFI, the world leader in digital controllers, superwide format printers 
and inks, and print management solutions, has acquired a powerful prepress workflow intelligence platform 
called OpForma. This unique toolset, developed by Prolatus, Inc., provides a new level of visibility into an array 
of prepress operations, providing a detailed analysis of production activities for strategic planning, costing and 
real-time decision making. OpForma's ability to acquire, organize and present information makes it an important 
addition to EFI's suite of intelligent management solutions, furthering the company's strategy to deliver true 
Computer Integrated Manufacturing (CIM) for print.

OpForma is a scalable web-based production management solution that provides stakeholders throughout an 
organization with real-time operational visibility down to desktop activity level, creating an environment of 
accountability and increasing overall productivity. It has a powerful reporting engine, automatic data collection 
platform and a rules-based notification system. Unlike any other solution, the system automatically collects raw 
operational data from production desktops as well as workflow systems throughout the enterprise, including 
RIPs, file transfer solutions, and DAM systems. By eliminating the need for manual data input from the production 
floor,  OpForma directly addresses the inherent weakness, inaccuracy and non-productive operational overhead 
found when manual entry is the primary method of data collection, enabling stakeholders to receive reliable, 
accurate and actionable production intelligence.

The first OpForma customer is Express Gifts, one of the UK's leading mail order companies selling a wide range 
of greeting cards, gifts, home and garden items through 60 different catalogues, of which more than 3 million 
are distributed each year.

San Kapil, Director of Catalogue and Print Production at Express Gifts, comments: "In order for our business to 
run effectively, stakeholders across multiple departments need real-time visibility into our production platform. 
With OpForma, everyone from the buying department through to our printers can track our production down to 
the individual page level, and any schedule changes or risks are easily identifiable. Also, OpForma's e-mail 
status notification system keeps relevant personnel abreast of project status and upcoming deadlines, allowing 
us to utilize all available time as well as ensuring nothing is lost in transition. We are always looking for more 
efficient ways to work, and OpForma equips us with a suite of tools to achieve this."

Said Marc Olin, senior vice president and general manager, EFI Professional Printing Applications, "With margins 
getting tighter and printers increasingly relying on capturing revenue for value-added services they perform, such 
as prepress, EFI realized that OpForma was an incredible platform on its own, and an even more powerful 
offering when combined with our market-leading Hagen, Logic and PSI print management systems. We think 
our customers will see the value in adding this to their operations to  reduce costs, increase productivity and 
drive profitability."

"I'm extremely pleased that our platform has a new home within EFI, a global leader that is both well-respected 
and well-positioned in the marketplace," said Christopher Rywelski, Principal Consultant and co-founder of 
Prolatus, the company that developed OpForma. "Publishers, catalogers, agencies and prepress organizations 
are ripe for the power and sophistication of EFI OpForma, both as a stand-alone solution as well as an integrated 
offering with any of the other EFI MIS solutions."

EFI Expands Opportunities for Graphic Printers, Inc.

FOSTER CITY, Calif. - Jan. 18, 2006 - EFI (Nasdaq: EFII), today announces Meridian, Miss.-based customer 
Graphic Printers, Inc.’s marked success with the EFI Fiery Color Server’s variable data printing (VDP) 
capabilities. A long-time EFI Print MIS customer, Graphic Printers, Inc (GPI) owner Ed Pierce began offering 
VDP services after attending the Connect 2004 EFI Users’ Conference, where he learned about the profit 
opportunities made possible by the Fiery Color Server, which is open, flexible, scaleable, and includes the most 
comprehensive, proven range of VDP languages. Pierce now reports a 35% profit increase based on revenue 
from Fiery-driven variable data projects.  EFI, the world leader in digital controllers, superwide format printers 
and inks and print management solutions for commercial and enterprise printing, now readies Connect 2006, its 
Seventh Annual Users’ Conference to be held April 30 through May 2, 2006, at the Venetian Resort in Las 
Vegas.  

Prior to Pierce’s attending Connect, GPI had been adversely affected by the printing industry’s increasing 
commoditization. With competitors selling solely on price, Pierce looked to significantly differentiate GPI with 
innovative print technology. Generally aware of EFI’s VDP leadership, he sought new information and solutions 
at Connect and attended the conference with GPI’s graphics designer and a key customer.  He said, "I knew
that it was going to be difficult for me to gain a real understanding of all of the aspects of variable data printing 
and I have an extensive background in printing.  I believed it might also be a challenge for my customers, so it 
made a lot of sense to invite our second largest customer to Connect at our expense so that we could 
collaboratively develop this first initiative." Once Pierce accomplished a successful variable data initiative with 
his marquee customer, he leveraged his growing expertise with a number of other customers.

Pierce attributes GPI’s measurable rejuvenation, and his immeasurable renewed enthusiasm for the industry, to 
Connect.  Based on what he and his colleagues learned at Connect, GPI acquired a Fiery-powered Konica-
Minolta 8050 color digital press, along with the Fiery Graphic Arts Package and DesignMerge from Meadows 
Software. Pierce chose this solution for its high-quality and value, and the integrated capabilities that would 
enable him to successfully deploy variable data solutions. "The ability for us to talk to the suppliers face-to-face 
and see live product demos made me a better shopper. Connect made me aware of all of the technology 
available and helped me get what I needed in order to fulfill the needs of my customers."

Millions of Fiery users depend on Fiery technology for precision color, consistent high quality output and workflow 
innovation. EFI’s newest Fiery digital controller offers unparalleled color quality, open VDP workflow flexibility, 
and expert-level tools for graphic arts professionals. Including such VDP languages as Fiery FreeForm, industry 
standard PPML, and a host of legacy proprietary languages, the EFI Fiery Digital Front End provides seamless 
integration into existing variable data workflows and ensures consistency regardless of whether the job is VDP 
or non-VDP.

"GPI’s success story is a terrific example of why EFI produces Connect," said Marc Olin, vice president/general 
manager, EFI Print MIS Solutions. "Our sole objective for the conference is to deliver the information our 
customers need in order to achieve full profit potential. It’s gratifying to know that Connect, as well as EFI 
solutions, so profoundly improved Ed’s business."

GPI was invited to Connect as an EFI Print MIS Solutions customer. According to Pierce, EFI’s PrintSmith® is 
integral to GPI’s success.  Pierce said, "PrintSmith has helped us integrate our organization from an information 
perspective, making it much easier to find information about jobs, both in progress and historically.  It cuts down 
on rework due to errors, and it helps us be more profitable."

EFI PrintSmith automates the entire business process from estimating to invoicing for small commercial print shops, 
copy centers, and print-for-pay companies with on-demand and digital environments. The scalable, turnkey 
solution is designed to help companies more efficiently manage their businesses, reduce costs and maximize 
profits.

The Connect 2006 program includes a wide array of learning opportunities, keynote addresses and breakout 
sessions based on the theme Expand Your Opportunities.  From fulfillment to mailing operations to super-wide 
format printing to integrated digital printing and VDP virtually every session will focus on new ways to help EFI 
customers thrive in a dynamic, competitive market.

FOSTER CITY, Calif.- Jan. 5, 2006 - EFI (Nasdaq: EFII), the world leader in digital imaging and print management 
solutions for commercial and enterprise printing, today announced the availability of the integrated Fiery® 
controller for the color 36PPM AR-C360P Digital IMAGER from Sharp Document Solutions Company of America. 
Designed to handle high-volume, color-critical output, the new color workgroup printer is well-suited for businesses 
seeking to streamline costs and manage in-house printing projects efficiently.

"Color presentations, color proofs, logo sheets and other documents that feature realistic color have become 
a requirement for effective business communication," said George Grafanakis, senior manager, product planning 
and marketing, Sharp Document Solutions Company of America. "The Fiery integrated server enables the AR-
C360P Digital IMAGER to deliver high-resolution, precise color documents quickly and accurately while 
providing the convenience and cost savings of in-house productivity." 

Key features of the Fiery controller for the AR-C360P Digital IMAGER include: 

Enhanced Productivity

auto trapping for layering graphics and Spot-On® color technology for color accuracy, supporting corporate-
branded colors (both auto trapping and Spot-On® options are available only at initial installation/purchase).

Authentic PostScript 

In addition to PCL, the Fiery controller includes an EFI/Adobe co-developed PostScript interpreter that processes 
(RIPs) the print job.  Fiery office accelerator technology enables the printing of Adobe PostScript 3 and native PDF
 files with a level of accuracy and color rendering that emulators cannot achieve.

Improved Security
Fiery security features for the AR-C360P include IP Filtering to control access to the printing device and Port 
Blocking to control access to the Fiery through remote management.

"We are pleased to work with Sharp and offer their customers the features and benefits enjoyed by more than 
12 million EFI Fiery users around the world," said James Lopez, director of server product marketing, EFI. "The 
ntegrated Fiery for the new Sharp workgroup printer has been designed so that customers will experience 
increased productivity that will save them time and money as they produce outstanding prints."
 
Written for the same audience for which the new Fiery-driven workgroup printer is designed, EFI recently 
announced the free guidebook, "The ABC’s of the Next-Generation Office." Advising readers on how to increase 
workforce productivity and improve profitability through new technology solutions, the handbook regards digital 
workflows and proposes new work processes to bridge the digital- and paper-based worlds.

EFI Adds Groundbreaking Web-based "Command Center" to Print MIS Systems

Foster City, Calif. - August 15, 2005 - EFI (Nasdaq: EFII), the world leader in digital imaging and print management
solutions for commercial and enterprise printing, today announced its Executive Information System (EIS), a 
breakthrough business "workspace" that provides an unparalleled visual tool for business analysis for its Print 
MIS customers. EIS is a powerful, interactive data analysis command center that instantly recaps the 
state-of-the-business and links to other key data, enabling new levels of business intelligence. The web-based 
EIS will be integrated with the foundation suite of EFI Hagen(tm), Logic(tm) and PSI(tm) print management
information systems, helping to improve processes and profit potential by giving users complete and instant 
visibility into real-time business information. This innovative tool received rave reviews from hundreds of EFI's 
existing customers when it was showcased at the annual Connect users' conference in June.

"EIS is more than a report generator, more than a dashboard display - EIS is an interactive analysis tool that 
gives the printer a visual recap of the state-of-the-business, with the ability to ask questions and drill down to 
more detail," said Michael Henderson, EFI EIS product manager. "This is a revolutionary advance over the 
current process of exporting data to a spreadsheet or printed report for tedious evaluation. Management teams 
can work with EIS to present information critical to key business decisions on the fly. The ability to refine the 
data by asking questions makes EIS an excellent working tool."

"EIS is the most unique and robust 'dashboard' tool I have ever seen, and will have a significant impact on the 
efficient management of a printing business," said Frank Romano, Professor Emeritus of the RIT School of 
Print Media.

The EIS technology takes advantage of a powerful OLAP (On-line Analytical Processing) analysis service as 
well as new data analysis and query tools built by EFI so that printers can quickly master EIS to take advantage 
of its intelligence. Rather than requiring customers to learn complex tools like SQL or Crystal Reports, they just 
need to know their business.

EIS is not your typical reporting tool - the characteristics that set it apart include:
Visual: The user is presented with an EIS workspace of visuals pre-selected from a library. The workspace 
provides snapshots of the state-of-the-business from many angles.
Dynamic: Unlike a typical "dashboard," EIS provides an intelligent, dynamic view. The user can drill down to 
more detail or ask questions creating a new view, using historical data and real-time information. This capability 
makes EIS an excellent tool for addressing the challenges of print management, making it easier to recognize 
trends and forecast effectively.
Flexible: EIS is delivered with a library of foundation visuals developed with input from printing executives and 
managers. The user can modify these visuals to address their unique business needs. Modifications can be 
made to the foundation visual (stored for future review) or be made on-the-fly, instantly providing results based 
on the new query conditions. The user can build custom visuals expanding the scope and value of the EIS library.

"We're excited about EIS - the powerful visual presentation of 'critical business information will be an excellent 
addition to our management process," said David Bennett, President of Bennett Graphics. "With EIS, a user 
just needs to know their business and the data that is important to them - not complicated report writing programs 
- in order to receive a wealth of information and insight."

Said Marc Olin, Vice President/General Manager, EFI Professional Print Applications: "Collecting information is 
only part of the equation. EIS helps printers exploit the value of the information they've collected - providing a
solid foundation for important business decisions. We believe EIS will become the printer's 'GPS,' providing a 
high-level view of the business landscapewhile helping to map the path to success."

EIS will be on display at Print 05, booth 8315, taking place September 9-15th at Chicago's McCormick Place.

addition to our management process," said David Bennett, President of Bennett Graphics. "With EIS, a user 
just needs to know their business and the data that is important to  them - not complicated report writing 
programs - in order to receive a wealth of information and insight."

Said Marc Olin, Vice President/General Manager, EFI Professional Print Applications: "Collecting information is 
only part of the equation. EIS helps printers exploit the value of the information they've collected - providing a 
solid foundation for important business decisions. We believe EIS will become the printer's 'GPS,' providing a 
high-level view of the business landscape while helping to map the path to success."

EIS will be on display at Print 05, booth 8315, taking place September 9-15th at Chicago's McCormick Place.

Digital StoreFront 2.5 Sets New Standard for Web-to-Print Solution

Foster City, Calif.  July 25, 2005  EFI (Nasdaq: EFII), the world leader in digital imaging and print management 
solutions for commercial and enterprise printing, is now shipping the latest version of Digital StoreFront with new 
Remote Print Center workflow integration, JDF-based job tickets and visual job ticket wizards, stronger VDP 
capabilities, and more robust PrintMessenger Drivers.

EFI Digital StoreFront provides a complete, streamlined workflow from the document creator, through the print 
production environment, to finishing and delivery. By providing a robust, personalized interactive intranet or 
Internet presence 24 hours a day, Digital StoreFront enhances customer relationships and improves profitability. 
With more than 400 systems sold worldwide, it is the industry’s leading web-to-print solution and the recent 
recipient of BERTL®’s Best Innovation Award.  

A simple interface allows print customers to submit digital files from their PC or Macintosh computers, view PDF 
proofs of their documents for immediate review and approval, and easily enter their own job specifications for 
production and finishing. Once that information is entered, Digital StoreFront creates a production job ticket and 
the file is automatically submitted into the print center's workflow, billing systems, print servers and output devices. 

"With the introduction of Digital StoreFront 2.5, we’re setting a new standard for web-to-print applications," said 
Chuck Gehman, EFI Director of Product Marketing. "This is the first solution that supports the varied business 
relationships and products that print service providers need to be successful doing business with their customers 
online. Whether a shop is an In-plant or CRD, commercial printer (retail or closed door, digital or offset), or a 
facilities management service provider, Digital StoreFront offers robust solutions. Document owners and 
purchasing staffers can easily submit, specify intent, approve and buy, for jobs ranging from direct mail VDP, 
business cards and stationery, binders with multiple sections and customized tabs, and even financial documents 
like pitch books or prospectus. Unlike ‘point solutions’ or custom-developed web sites, which are targeted at 
niche applications, Digital StoreFront 2.5 is the first generally available and easy-to-deploy application that has 
broad enough capabilities to answer these challenges."

Digital StoreFront provides a powerful integration with EFI’s workflow and MIS solutions the system creates an 
end-to-end content and commerce workflow from the desktop of the printer’s customer directly to EFI Fiery®, 
Balance and Micropress® solutions for digital printing and to EFI’s Hagen, Logic and PSI print management 
systems.

First time job submission is simplified for both the print service provider and the customer, with jobs submitted as 
settings-correct PDF files. The online catalog in Digital StoreFront makes frequently used documents easily 
accessible for ordering. Customers can see the status of their orders when placed, when in production and 
when shipped without playing telephone tag. 

Digital StoreFront 2.5 has several new key features:

JDF-based Job Tickets

Digital StoreFront’s revolutionary new JDF-based job ticketing and visual job ticket wizards allow customers to 
easily specify even very complex job intent, by walking them through the process in a user-frendly way. Pre-
defined tickets can now be deployed as product choices, with graphics that help the user decide which ticket 
is most appropriate for the job they wish to produce. Tickets can also be pre-filled, with default choices, so 
customers can more quickly define the finished product they wish to have produced. Instructions for producing 
complex print products, including multiple job files, in multiple formats (such as PDF, native Microsoft Office 
document formats, and even desktop publishing application formats such as QuarkXpress or Adobe InDesign 
files), can be represented in the new tickets. The all-new ticketing architecture lays the groundwork for future 
innovations in JDF integration with EFI MIS, output and workflow applications, as well as with third-party 
applications. 

New Catalog and VDP Capabilities

The Digital StoreFront 2.5 Catalog offers new support for non-print items, such as advertising specialties or 
corporate logo merchandise, in addition to PDF documents for print-on-demand applications.

An enhanced Template Driven VDP Documents Module provides a complete batch merge capability for more 
sophisticated 1:1 marketing products like direct mail pieces and newsletters, when combined with the optional 
new Workstation or Server Merge Modules. Customers can now upload their own database files to produce 
personalized documents. Upcoming versions of Digital StoreFront will also offer the ability for users to purchase 
databases from list providers, via an alliance with USADATA.

The new VDP features include advanced capabilities such as the ability to choose images, as well as to upload 
images on the fly at order-time, pre-fill templates from user profiles, and pre-fill templates from database files with 
the ability to preview results in a standard browser with no plug-ins or applets. Users can also preview selected 
records online, or step through the entire database previewing each record against the template document.

Updated PrintMessenger Drivers

The unlimited license EFI PrintMessenger PDF generating drivers included standard with Digital StoreFront 
have been one of its most popular features. The latest release of PrintMessenger has an enhanced interface 
that gives users more feedback during the PDF conversion and file upload process. And there is now the 
ability to send multiple files, from multiple desktop applications to the Digital StoreFront server in one easy 
workflow. There is no need to have the full Adobe Acrobat software installed on each user workstation, and 
there are none of the additional license fees that are typical of other vendor’s PDF generation solutions.

Remote Print Center

The new Remote Print Center module provides direct integration at the printing site with workflow solutions, 
like Fiery, Balance and Micropress. Even if you choose to use Digital StoreFront as an ASP solution (hosted 
in EFI’s data center), you can still take advantage of its powerful workflow integration via Remote Print Center. 
Files are available locally for output, and Remote Print Center even supports multiple printing sites, with the 
ability to move jobs from one to another, for load balancing or for redundancy in the event of equipment failure 
at one site.

Location Manager

Retail print operations with multiple store front sites, facilities management solution providers and corporate 
printing operations with multiple manned print rooms will welcome the new Location Manager feature which lets 
users choose where their job will be sent for production.

Flexible Deployment Options

Digital StoreFront can be deployed in four ways. It is available as a completely self-hosted system, delivered as 
software-only (for installation on customer-supplied hardware and operating system configurations); as a turn 
key integrated hardware and software solution; as a managed service, delivered as an ASP service residing 
in EFI’s world-class data center; or as a combination or hybrid configuration, in which the Digital StoreFront 
database and customer-interaction components reside in the EFI data center, and job files and workflow 
integration are delivered by additional servers installed at the printing site(s). No other web-to-print solution 
offers support for such advanced and flexible deployment strategies.

New Enterprise Server Configuration

For high volume print operations, Digital StoreFront is now available in an integrated Enterprise hardware and 
software configuration. The new scalable server platform and operating system software is specifically 
designed for larger installations. The new configuration includes a rack-mountable dual-CPU Dell server, with 
a large RAID storage subsystem, plenty of RAM memory and multiple network adapters, pre-installed with a 
Microsoft server operating system for plug-and-play in your server environment.

Availability

Version 2.5 is available in the English language today. French, Italian, German, Spanish, Dutch and Norwegian 
languages are scheduled to ship in Q3. Digital StoreFront is available from EFI’s partners Canon, Ikon, Konica-
Minolta, Ricoh and Toshiba, as well as independent dealers, in North America, Europe and Asia Pacific. For 
more information please contact 1-800-875-7117.

EFI Offers Free 'ABC's of Workflow' Handbook at Graph Expo

FOSTER CITY, Calif. - October 5, 2004 - EFI (Nasdaq:EFII), the world leader in digital imaging and print 
management solutions for commercial and enterprise printing, today announced it is offering free copies of the 
"ABC's of Workflow" to help printers successfully implement workflow processes and technologies to increase 
their productivity and profits. The latest of its popular "ABC" guidebooks on important industry technologies 
the "ABCs of Workflow" covers the steps to a successful flow of work from customer engagement through 
final delivery of the printed piece. The guide will be available free at Graph Expo October 10-13 in Chicago 
at EFI's Booth #4613. Copies may also be requested and downloaded online at www.efi.com.

"In today's competitive print environment, improving efficiency throughout the entire operation is key to 
running a more profitable business," said Chuck Gehman, Director of Product Marketing at EFI and author 
of the workflow guide. "A guaranteed method for achieving that result is the deployment of a rational, logical 
path for work coming into the operation, using as much integration and automation as possible."

The 42-page "ABC's of Workflow" covers everything from interacting with the customer, to processing 
jobs, to the business of workflow, the role of JDF (Job Definition Format) and more.  It also includes a 
helpful glossary of terms and full color illustrations. 

The guide explains why automation is increasingly desirable in the graphic arts industry today. Print 
production processes are increasingly driven by digital technologies from the submission of digital files to 
digital proofing, digital print devices and the flow of information to computer systems that manage both 
production and the back office. Moreover, the development of robust industry standards such as the JDF 
specification ensures that each stage of the production and management process can communicate 
critical job information throughout the workflow.  The end result is more efficiency, increased productivity, 
reduced costs and increased customer communication and satisfaction.  

Pick up a free, full color copy of "ABC's of Workflow" at EFI booth # 4613 at Graph Expo. Or download a PDF 
at efi.com/promo/workflow.  Also available at Graph Expo or online is EFI's original ABCs guide: "ABCs of
