Following the late 2021 divestment of its EFI Productivity Software business unit, Electronics For Imaging had two business units: EFI Fiery and EFI Inkjet. The EFI Fiery business manufactures digital front ends and related software for digital printing operations. It was split in 2023 from EFI and bought by Epson in 2024.

The EFI Inkjet business unit manufactures and sells UV, UV LED and dye-sublimation wide- and superwide-format printers for the signage/display graphics market, as well as industrial inkjet printers for the building materials, ceramic tile, corrugated packaging and textile markets.

Controversies and legal

Controversy

2014 California labor violations

In October 2014, the U.S. Labor Department's wage and hour division in San Francisco fined the company $3,500 and ordered it to pay more than $40,000 in back wages after it had employed eight people at its new location in Fremont and paid the workers $1.21 per hour to install the computer network. California minimum wage was then $8.00 an hour. The employees, IT technicians, were flown in from Bangalore, India to help with the company's relocation to Fremont and were paid in rupees. The company said it was an "administrative error". EFI's vice president of HR Shared Services, Beverly Rubin, said, "During this assignment, they continued to be paid their regular pay in India, as well as a special bonus for their efforts on this project." She added, "During this process we unintentionally overlooked laws that require even foreign employees to be paid based on local U.S. standards."

Some of the employees were reported to have worked 122 hours a week setting up the network. The day before news of the labor violation was reported, the company posted record revenues of nearly $198 million, an 11 percent increase over the previous year. Michael Eastman, assistant district director with the United States Department of Labor, said that the labor abuses at the company were among the worst he had ever seen, even surpassing Los Angeles sweatshops. According to the Associated Press, CEO Guy Gecht earns just under $6 million, including salary and bonuses.

The controversy precipitated a flurry of comments from local politicians. Mike Honda, Congressman from San Jose and a Democrat, issued a statement that EFI's human resources practices "constitute the most egregious type of wage theft and employee abuse. They undermine fair labor competition among businesses, and if left unaddressed would erode the idea that this is an economy of opportunity." Honda indicated that current penalties are not sufficient to deter unscrupulous employers from engaging in wage abuses, and need to be increased. CEO Guy Gecht, had been a major contributor to the campaign of Ro Khanna, Honda's opponent, but Gecht's name was removed from Khanna's endorsement list after news of the labor violations broke. Tyler Law, a spokesman for Khanna noted, "The inexcusable exploitation by Electronics for Imaging goes against everything that Silicon Valley stands for."

2026 Michigan facility explosion

An explosion occurred at an EFI facility in Ypsilanti Township, Michigan in February 2026. The explosion caused the building to partially collapse, trapping and injuring three employees.
