                           Applications

FOSTER CITY, Calif., Aug. 2, 2011 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Electronics For
Imaging, Inc. (Nasdaq:EFII), a world leader in customer-focused digital
printing innovation, today announced that it has acquired
privately-held Prism Group Holdings ("Prism"). Prism, with headquarters
in Australia, is a provider of MIS/ERP (management information systems
and enterprise resource planning) software products for the printing
and packaging industry, including Prism WIN MIS and Prism QTMS
automated shop floor management and work in progress tracking software.
While financial terms of the acquisition were not disclosed, the
agreement is not expected to be material to EFI's 2011 results.

"We are extremely happy to bring Prism into our expanding portfolio of
customer-centric technologies. They have built a very impressive list
of clients in Australia, New Zealand, Europe, South Africa and North
America, and we welcome those clients to our large global client base,"
said Marc Olin, GM of EFI's Software Applications ("APPS") business
unit. "In addition, we're very excited to have Prism's employees join
EFI and help us expand our rapidly growing global presence with their
years of expertise in software for the printing and packaging
industries."

"We intend to continue to meet the needs of Prism's existing client
base with the same enthusiasm that Prism has for the many years they've
been in business while offering them access to the full portfolio of
EFI products," continued Olin.

"We are very excited to be joining EFI, the clear leader in the
business process automation software space for printing and packaging
companies," said Filip Buyse, President and CEO of Prism. "It is a
natural fit for our client base and we look forward to introducing them
to EFI's portfolio of solutions."

Prism software will become part of EFI's Software Applications (APPS)
portfolio. EFI intends to integrate support and operations of Prism
into the existing APPS organization, which will provide the EFI
PrintSmith, EFI Pace, EFI Monarch and EFI Radius software products
while continuing to support the existing Prism client base.

Prism is headquartered in Brisbane, Australia, with operations in New
Zealand, the United Kingdom and the United States. Prism's customers
range from general commercial, web printing, mailing and publication
printers, to label printers, packaging companies and converters.
