EFI

EFI’s Digital StoreFront introduced a new user interface and online preview capability. The interface is designed to assist print buyers in the development of a specification using a single, focused page rather than a series of screens for specifying, pricing, and previewing the job. The new preview ensures the accuracy and completeness of the job. The buyer describes what is required and the system confirms their description with a production-accurate preview. The buyer can review, make notes, and accept the proof online 24/7, which speeds production, reduces costs, and eliminates errors.
