EFI created this second Experience after the strong, positive response the company had from its first series of Ignite Virtual webinars earlier this year.

“We had such great feedback from our customers in April that we simply had do it again,” said Ken Hanulec, Vice President of Worldwide Marketing, EFI. “This time, we have sessions highlighting the successes printing companies have seen by focusing on increased efficiencies, better print capabilities and smart targeting of the right market opportunities. The COVID-19 situation has been tough on all of us, but with a changed landscape comes new paths for potential growth in the long term with inspirational ideas that can be incorporated into almost any printing business.”

The EFI Ignite Virtual Experience is one of several initiatives EFI is undertaking to answer the evolving needs of businesses affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. It is part of EFI’s efforts to help customers regain market traction as the economy once again begins to open. EFI is also arranging private virtual demonstrations for customers and prospects that utilise their files, media, etc., for customised sessions that specifically address their individual production requirements and applications.
