                 INCORPORATION OF CERTAIN DOCUMENTS BY REFERENCE

         The following  documents  filed by Electronics  For Imaging,  Inc. (the
"Company")  with the Securities  and Exchange  Commission  are  incorporated  by
reference into this Registration Statement:

         (a) The Company's  latest annual report on Form 10-K filed  pursuant to
Section 15(d) of the Securities Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act").

         (b) The  Company's  quarterly  report on Form 10-Q  filed May 12,  2000
pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Securities Act.

         (c) The description of the Company's Common Stock which is contained in
a registration  statement filed under the Exchange Act on Form 8-A on August 28,
1992.

         All  reports  and other  documents  subsequently  filed by the  Company
pursuant to Sections 13(a), 13(c), 14 and 15(d) of the Exchange Act prior to the
filing of a post-effective amendment which indicates that all securities offered
have been sold or which deregisters all securities then remaining unsold,  shall
be  deemed  to be  incorporated  by  reference  herein  and to be a part of this
registration  statement  from  the  date  of the  filing  of  such  reports  and
documents.


                            DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES

Not Applicable.


                     INTERESTS OF NAMED EXPERTS AND COUNSEL

Not Applicable.


                    INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS

         Under Section 145 of the Delaware  General  Corporation Law the Company
has broad powers to indemnify  its directors  and officers  against  liabilities
they may incur in such capacities,  including  liabilities  under the Securities
Act  of  1933  (the  "Securities  Act").  The  Company's  Amended  and  Restated
Certificate of Incorporation requires the Company to indemnify its directors and
officers to the fullest extent permitted by Delaware law. The Company's  Amended
and Restated  Bylaws  require the Company to indemnify  any persons by reason of
the  fact  that he is or was a  director,  officer,  employee  or  agent  of the
Company,  or is or was serving at the request of the Company,  against  expenses
(including  attorneys'  fees),  judgments,  fines and amounts paid in settlement
actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with such action, suit, or
proceeding if he acted in good faith and in a manner he  reasonably  believed to
be in or not opposed to the best  interests of the Company and,  with respect to
any  criminal  action or  proceeding,  had no  reasonable  cause to believe  his
conduct was  unlawful;  provided that if an action or suit is by or in the right
of the Company against such director,  officer, employee or agent of the Company
and such person is adjudged to be liable to the Company  then the Company  shall
only  indemnify such person to the extent that the court in which such action or
suit is brought shall have  determined that such person is fairly and reasonably
entitled to indemnity for such expenses as the court deems proper.

         The Company  has entered  into  indemnity  agreements  with each of its
directors and executive officers.  Such indemnity  agreements contain provisions
which are in some respects broader than the specific indemnification  provisions
contained in Delaware law.

                       EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION CLAIMED

Not Applicable.

99.1     The Company's 2000 Employee Stock Purchase Plan.


                                  UNDERTAKINGS

1.       The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:

         (a) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made,
a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:

                  (i) To include any prospectus  required by Section 10(a)(3) of
         the Securities Act of 1933;

                  (ii) To reflect in the  prospectus any facts or events arising
         after the  effective  date of the  registration  statement (or the most
         recent post-effective amendment thereof) which,  individually or in the
         aggregate,  represent a fundamental change in the information set forth
         in the  registration  statement.  Notwithstanding  the  foregoing,  any
         increase or decrease in the volume of securities  offered (if the total
         dollar  value of  securities  offered  would not exceed  that which was
         registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated
         maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed
         with the Commission  pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate,  the
         changes in volume and price represent no more than 20 percent change in
         the maximum  aggregate  offering price set forth in the "Calculation of
         Registration Fee" table in the effective registration statement.

                  (iii) to include any material  information with respect to the
         plan of  distribution  not  previously  disclosed  in the  registration
         statement  or  any  material   change  to  such   information   in  the
         registration statement.

         (b) That,  for the  purpose  of  determining  any  liability  under the
Securities Act, each such  post-effective  amendment shall be deemed to be a new
registration  statement  relating  to the  securities  offered  herein,  and the
offering of such  securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona
fide offering thereof.

         (c) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective  amendment
any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of
the offering.

2.       The  undersigned  registrant  hereby  undertakes  that, for purposes of
         determining  any liability under the Securities Act, each filing of the
         registrant's  annual report  pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d)
         of the Exchange Act (and, where applicable,  each filing of an employee
         benefit plan's annual report  pursuant to section 15(d) of the Exchange
         Act) that is  incorporated by reference in the  Registration  Statement
         shall be  deemed to be a new  registration  statement  relating  to the
         securities  offered herein, and the offering of such securities at that
         time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

3.       Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities
         Act may be permitted to directors,  officers and controlling persons of
         the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions,  or otherwise, the



<PAGE>


         registrant  has been advised that in the opinion of the  Securities and
         Exchange  Commission such  indemnification  is against public policy as
         expressed in the Securities Act and is,  therefore,  unenforceable.  In
         the event that a claim for  indemnification  against  such  liabilities
         (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses  incurred or paid
         by a director,  officer or controlling  person of the registrant in the
         successful  defense of any action,  suit or  proceeding) is asserted by
         such  director,  officer or controlling  person in connection  with the
         securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion
         of its counsel the matter has been  settled by  controlling  precedent,
         submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such
         indemnification  by it is against  public  policy as  expressed  in the
         Securities Act and will be governed by the final  adjudication  of such
         issue.

         Pursuant to the  requirements  of the  Securities  Act, the  Registrant
certifies  that it has  reasonable  grounds to believe  that it meets all of the
requirements  for  filing  on Form S-8 and has  duly  caused  this  Registration
Statement  to be  signed  on its  behalf  by  the  undersigned,  thereunto  duly
authorized, in the City of Foster City, State of California on July 5, 2000.

reference into this Registration Statement:

         (a) The Company's  latest annual report on Form 10-K filed  pursuant to
Section 15(d) of the Securities Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act").

         (b) The  Company's  quarterly  report on Form 10-Q  filed May 12,  2000
pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Securities Act.

         (c) The description of the Company's Common Stock which is contained in

         All  reports  and other  documents  subsequently  filed by the  Company
pursuant to Sections 13(a), 13(c), 14 and 15(d) of the Exchange Act prior to the
filing of a post-effective amendment which indicates that all securities offered
have been sold or which deregisters all securities then remaining unsold,  shall
be  deemed  to be  incorporated  by  reference  herein  and to be a part of this
registration  statement  from  the  date  of the  filing  of  such  reports  and
documents.

                            DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES

Not Applicable.

                    INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS

         Under Section 145 of the Delaware  General  Corporation Law the Company
has broad powers to indemnify  its directors  and officers  against  liabilities
they may incur in such capacities,  including  liabilities  under the Securities
Act  of  1933  (the  "Securities  Act").  The  Company's  Amended  and  Restated
Certificate of Incorporation requires the Company to indemnify its directors and
officers to the fullest extent permitted by Delaware law. The Company's  Amended
and Restated  Bylaws  require the Company to indemnify  any persons by reason of
the  fact  that he is or was a  director,  officer,  employee  or  agent  of the
Company,  or is or was serving at the request of the Company,  against  expenses
(including  attorneys'  fees),  judgments,  fines and amounts paid in settlement
actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with such action, suit, or
proceeding if he acted in good faith and in a manner he  reasonably  believed to
be in or not opposed to the best  interests of the Company and,  with respect to
any  criminal  action or  proceeding,  had no  reasonable  cause to believe  his
conduct was  unlawful;  provided that if an action or suit is by or in the right
of the Company against such director,  officer, employee or agent of the Company
and such person is adjudged to be liable to the Company  then the Company  shall
only  indemnify such person to the extent that the court in which such action or
suit is brought shall have  determined that such person is fairly and reasonably
entitled to indemnity for such expenses as the court deems proper.

         The Company  has entered  into  indemnity  agreements  with each of its
directors and executive officers.  Such indemnity  agreements contain provisions
which are in some respects broader than the specific indemnification  provisions
contained in Delaware law.

                                  UNDERTAKINGS

1.       The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:

         (a) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made,
a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:

                  (i) To include any prospectus  required by Section 10(a)(3) of
         the Securities Act of 1933;

                  (ii) To reflect in the  prospectus any facts or events arising
         after the  effective  date of the  registration  statement (or the most
         recent post-effective amendment thereof) which,  individually or in the
         aggregate,  represent a fundamental change in the information set forth
         in the  registration  statement.  Notwithstanding  the  foregoing,  any
         increase or decrease in the volume of securities  offered (if the total
         dollar  value of  securities  offered  would not exceed  that which was
         registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated
         maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed
         with the Commission  pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate,  the
         changes in volume and price represent no more than 20 percent change in
         the maximum  aggregate  offering price set forth in the "Calculation of
         Registration Fee" table in the effective registration statement.

                  (iii) to include any material  information with respect to the
         plan of  distribution  not  previously  disclosed  in the  registration
         statement  or  any  material   change  to  such   information   in  the
         registration statement.

         (b) That,  for the  purpose  of  determining  any  liability  under the
Securities Act, each such  post-effective  amendment shall be deemed to be a new
registration  statement  relating  to the  securities  offered  herein,  and the
offering of such  securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona
fide offering thereof.

         (c) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective  amendment
any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of
the offering.

2.       The  undersigned  registrant  hereby  undertakes  that, for purposes of
         determining  any liability under the Securities Act, each filing of the
         registrant's  annual report  pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d)
         of the Exchange Act (and, where applicable,  each filing of an employee
         benefit plan's annual report  pursuant to section 15(d) of the Exchange
         Act) that is  incorporated by reference in the  Registration  Statement
         shall be  deemed to be a new  registration  statement  relating  to the
         securities  offered herein, and the offering of such securities at that
         time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

3.       Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities
         Act may be permitted to directors,  officers and controlling persons of
         the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions,  or otherwise, the
registrant  has been advised that in the opinion of the  Securities and
         Exchange  Commission such  indemnification  is against public policy as
         expressed in the Securities Act and is,  therefore,  unenforceable.  In
         the event that a claim for  indemnification  against  such  liabilities
         (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses  incurred or paid
         by a director,  officer or controlling  person of the registrant in the
         successful  defense of any action,  suit or  proceeding) is asserted by
         such  director,  officer or controlling  person in connection  with the
         securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion
         of its counsel the matter has been  settled by  controlling  precedent,
         submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such
         indemnification  by it is against  public  policy as  expressed  in the
         Securities Act and will be governed by the final  adjudication  of such
         issue.
SIGNATURES

         Pursuant to the  requirements  of the  Securities  Act, the  Registrant
certifies  that it has  reasonable  grounds to believe  that it meets all of the
requirements  for  filing  on Form S-8 and has  duly  caused  this  Registration
Statement  to be  signed  on its  behalf  by  the  undersigned,  thereunto  duly
authorized, in the City of Foster City, State of California on July 5, 2000.
