"When I first heard of the EFI controller last year, it promised faster, better, cheaper color laser printing. After spending some time with my review unit, I've concluded that it indeed offers extremely high-quality color output at a quick pace. What's more impressive about this unit is the rich saturation and color fidelity of its output."
Windows Magazine, July 1996Hot Printer Is Fiery at Heart
"With the force of a hurricane, Electronics for Imaging (EFI) is taking
the color printing world by storm with its Fiery XJe color print controller.
Digital rides the resulting wave by incorporating this controller into its
new high-end color printer, the Colorwriter LSR 2000. This printer offers
excellent color reproduction and very good speed."
"I've never driven a Lamborghini, but I can say I've printed with Canon's new color laser printer, the C LBP 360PS... The printer incorporates a number of excellent features, but what's even more noteworthy is its use of Electronics for Imaging's new Fiery XJe controller for printers."

"The new line is the first copier to support an optional internal Fiery XJ RIP from Electronics for Imaging of San Mateo, California..."
"'It's a better design and an easy way to bring prices down,' said analyst Michael Weiss, president of MWA Consulting Inc. of Palo Alto, California. Weiss said he expects other color copier vendors to follow Ricoh's lead and offer an integrated RIP."MacWEEK, September 9, 1996, Ricoh Color Copiers House PostScript
"...if you're looking for a network color workhorse, the Colorwriter
LSR 2000 is for you."
"Electronics for Imaging, maker of the Fiery XJ embedded print controller, is addressing this issue. The controller works with the print engine to enhance print speeds and bring print quality closer to continuous tone. This technology fools the eye into seeing 16 million colors rather than a pattern of dots, making an image look more like a real photograph. Both Canon and Digital are using the controller in their printers."

"The new Fiery XJ architecture offers fast processing speed, low cost,
and scalability. Because its scalable, EFI plans to offer this technology
in a variety of products from embedded controllers in desktop printers to
color servers for high speed copiers."
"Electronics for Imaging Inc. today plans to announce a new version of its color-printing technology that doubles its speed while cutting the price nearly in half."
The Wall Street Journal, March 6, 1995, Electronics for Imaging To Update Printing System
"Electronics for Imaging Inc. introduced a new version of its Fiery line of network servers that convert digital color copiers into high-speed, photographic-quality color printers."Computers & Technology, March 9, 1995, Updated Color-Printing Systems
"Electronics for Imaging Inc. got color output speeds to smoke with

"Electronics for Imaging (EFI) has been a key driving force in the digital revolution that is sweeping through the printing industry. Through its innovations in color servers and color management software, EFI technology has not only stimulated demand for digital color copiers, but also for higher value printing and design services that are critical to thousands for in-plants, quick printers, design agencies, and other print producers."
"With the introduction of the Fiery architecture and XJ 170 and XJ 300 Color Servers, EFI is providing the industry with important tools for the next stage of product and markets growth. EFI's direction is to be a critical link between desktop and production-speed digital color printing systems, as well as the glue between the corporate print customer and various internal and external production alternatives."Next Generation, On Demand Printing and Publishing
"Electronics for Imaging (EFI) of San Mateo, California, has upgraded
its color servers, making digital color-copier proofing more cost effective."
"The Fiery XJ 170 and Fiery XJ 300 Color Servers feature a new hardware
architecture: EFI has consolidated six boards into one, freeing the main
CPU to more efficiently tackle Adobe PostScript Level 2 raster image processing."
"Based on Electronics for Imaging's (San Mateo, CA) Fiery XJ architecture, the Fiery XJ 170 and Fiery XJ 300 Color Servers (from less than $20,000) link computer networks to digital color copiers from Canon, Kodak, Minolta, Ricoh, and Xerox."
