“In-plant printing departments represent a large portion of EFI’s Fiery® digital front end user base and we approached the educational program of next year’s conference with a deliberate emphasis on providing those customers the relevant, targeted, in-depth information they need to make their production operations more efficient and more valuable to their parent organizations,” said John Henze, vice president, marketing, EFI Fiery.
