Ladies and Gentlemen:

                  I serve as General Counsel to Electronics For Imaging, Inc., a
Delaware corporation (the "Company"), and have served as the Company's General
Counsel in connection with the registration on Form S-8 (the "Registration
Statement") under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, of the following
shares of the Company's common stock, $.01 par value per share (the "Shares"):
(1) 572 Shares under the Prographics, Inc. 1999 Stock Option Plan; (2) 8,329
Shares under the Printcafe Software, Inc. 2000 Stock Incentive Plan; (3) 65,068
Shares of Printcafe Software, Inc. 2002 Key Executive Stock Incentive Plan; and
(4) 78, 406 Shares of Printcafe Software, Inc. 2002 Employee Stock Incentive
Plan, collectively, (the "Plans").

                  This opinion is being furnished in accordance with the
requirements of Item 8 of Form S-8 and Item 601(b)(5)(i) of Regulation S-K.

                  In connection with this opinion, I have reviewed and am
familiar with originals or copies, certified or otherwise identified to my
satisfaction, of such documents as I have deemed necessary or appropriate as a
basis for the opinions set forth below including (1) the Registration Statement,
(2) the Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws of the Company, each as amended,
and (3) resolutions of the Board of Directors of the Company relating to the
assumption of the Plans, the issuance of shares of common stock pursuant to the
Plans and the filing of the Registration Statement.

                  Based upon and subject to the foregoing, I am of the opinion
that when the Shares are issued and sold (and the consideration therefor
received) pursuant to the provisions of stock option agreements duly authorized
under the Plans and in accordance with the Registration Statement, such Shares
will be legally issued, fully paid and nonassessable.

                  I hereby consent to the filing of this opinion letter as
Exhibit 5 to the Registration Statement. I further consent to the reference to
me in Item 5 ("Interests of Named Experts and Counsel") of Part II of the
Registration Statement.



                  This opinion letter is rendered as of the date first written
above and I disclaim any obligation to advise you of facts, circumstances,
events or developments which hereafter may be brought to my attention and which
may alter, affect or modify the opinion expressed herein. My opinion is
expressly limited to the matters set forth above and I render no opinion,
whether by implication or otherwise, as to any other matters relating to the
Company, the Plans, or the Shares.

                                                Very truly yours,

                                                /s/ James L. Etheridge
