Color output is a key growth area in the personal computer and office automation industries. It is expected to grow at 12 to 15 percent annually according to industry research. However, widespread use of computer and office products for short-run color printing--production runs of one to several hundred copies--has been limited due to the need for high-performance servers that link computer networks with color output engines.
Electronics for Imaging, Inc. (EFI) designs and markets products that address this need, making high-quality color printing viable for anyone with a personal computer. Its family of Fiery color servers integrate the hardware and software technologies that are required to print color images at high speeds. By connecting plain paper copiers to PC networks, EFI has pioneered a new market for short-run color printing.
With more than 50,000 units installed worldwide, Fiery color servers are used by leading corporations, advertising agencies, graphic design studios, and print-for-pay businesses.
