Exhibit 99.1

EFI Issues Non-Reliance Statement

Foster City, Calif. – May 7, 2007 – Electronics for Imaging, Inc. (“EFI”) (Nasdaq: EFII) today announced that on May 1, 2007, based on information obtained by a Special Committee reviewing the Company’s historical stock option practices, EFI concluded that the Company’s financial statements, earnings releases and similar communications relating to the period 1992 through June 30, 2006 should no longer be relied upon.

Although the Special Committee’s investigation is substantially complete, the Committee has not yet made any findings or conclusions. However, based on information obtained by the Special Committee relating to a portion of the historical option grants under review, EFI believes that the actual measurement dates for certain stock option grants made during the period under review differ from the recorded grant dates used for financial accounting and reporting purposes for such options. As EFI believes that the market prices of its stock at the actual measurement dates were higher than the exercise prices of these option grants, EFI expects that it will be required to record additional stock-based compensation expense based on the difference in these amounts. EFI has not yet determined the aggregate amount of the additional non-cash compensation expense it will be required to record or the additional expense to be recorded in any particular fiscal period during that period of time. Until the amount of such adjustments has been determined, EFI cannot ascertain the resulting tax and accounting impact. However, EFI expects that the difference in these measurement dates will result in material non-cash, stock-based compensation expense, and therefore EFI expects to restate previously issued financial statements as necessary.

EFI plans to become current in its public filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission as soon as practicable.
