         EFI ANNOUNCES CLOSURE OF TENDER OFFER FOR 93.2% OF SPLASH AND
COMPLETION OF MERGER


         FOSTER CITY, Calif.-- (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Oct. 24, 2000 -- Electronics
For Imaging, Inc. (EFI) (NASDAQ:EFII), the world leader in enabling networked
printing solutions, and Splash Technology Holdings, Inc. (Splash) (Nasdaq: SPLH)
jointly announced today that EFI's wholly owned subsidiary, Vancouver
Acquisition Corp., accepted for payment the 2,220,325 shares that had been
tendered pursuant to the offer (including 195,278 shares subject to guarantees
of delivery), during the subsequent offering period which expired at 5:00 p.m.,
New York City time on Monday, October 23, 2000.

         After giving effect to the purchase of the additional shares tendered,
EFI beneficially owned approximately 93.2% of the outstanding Splash shares.

         EFI and Splash also announced that, following the expiration of the
subsequent offering period and pursuant to the merger agreement, Vancouver
Acquisition Corp. was merged with Splash resulting in Splash becoming a
wholly-owned subsidiary of EFI. As a result of this merger, all remaining Splash
stockholders (other than EFI) will have the right to receive the same $10 per
share in cash paid in the tender offer. Splash stock ceased to be traded on
NASDAQ as of the close of business on Monday, October 23, 2000.

         Following the completion of the Splash-Vancouver merger, Splash was
merged with and into EFI.

         "We are very excited about the addition of Splash's technology and
industry specific expertise. The acquisition will enable us to demonstrate the
scalability of our business model, as we continue to expand the products and
services we offer to our clients and customer base," said Guy Gecht, Chief
Executive Officer of EFI. "We believe Splash provides EFI with the technology
and ability to further penetrate the graphics arts markets and also positions
EFI to diversify into other emerging color imaging markets," he added.
