EFI announced that the tremendous response to its latest Digital StoreFront (DSF) web-to-print solution at drupa 2008 lead to a record number of sales for the product at any EFI trade show. More than 20 new customers in Europe purchased DSF during drupa, accelerating the solution’s worldwide adoption.

DSF is EFI’s web-to-print platform providing a digital on-ramp for printers to interact with their customers. DSF 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. The most recent version, on display at drupa, has native integration with EFI’s PrintSmith, Logic and Hagen print MIS systems, creating an efficient workflow from web submission to production and invoicing. DSF also has integration to EFI Fiery, Fiery Central and MicroPress solutions for digital printing.

“DSF is already an award-winning solution in use at more than 2,500 locations worldwide, and these past two weeks it generated an enormous amount of traffic to the EFI drupa stand,” said Marc Olin, senior vice president/general manager, EFI Advanced Professional Print Software (APPS). “Workflow was one of the key themes at this year’s conference, and the integration DSF offers to Fiery and MIS is a huge strength of the product. We’re thrilled to have sold a record number of the systems on the show floor, further strengthening our lead in the marketplace.”

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.
