Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract]
Commitments and Contingencies	Commitments and Contingencies Contingent Consideration We are required to make payments to the former stockholders of acquired companies based on the achievement of specified performance targets as explained in Note 7 – Fair Value Measurements. Lease Commitments and Contractual Obligations As of June 30, 2018, we have leased certain of our current facilities and vehicles under noncancelable operating lease agreements. We are required to pay property taxes, insurance, and nominal maintenance costs for certain of these facilities and vehicles, and any increases over the base year of these expenses on the remainder of these leases. Assets Held for Sale During the fourth quarter of 2017, management approved a plan to sell approximately 31.5 acres of land and two manufacturing buildings located at One Vutek Place and 189 Waukewan Street, Meredith, New Hampshire, consisting of 163,000 total square feet. Assets previously recorded within property and equipment, net, with a net book value of $5.1 million, consisting of $4.5 million net book value of the facilities and $0.6 million of related land, have been reclassified as assets held for sale. These assets held for sale are carried at a value of $4.2 million, after an impairment charge of $0.9 million was recognized in the fourth quarter of 2017, on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017. As of June 30, 2018, we have entered into two separate agreements to sell each of these properties subject to completion of due diligence and customary closing procedures. Management expects the sale of both facilities to be completed by December 31, 2018. Off-Balance Sheet Financing – Lease Arrangements On August 26, 2016, we entered into a lease agreement and have accounted for a lease term of 48.5 years, inclusive of two renewal options of 5.0 and 3.5 years, with the City of Manchester, NH to lease 16.9 acres adjacent to the Manchester Regional Airport. The land is subleased to MUFG Americas Capital Leasing & Finance, LLC (“MUFG”), formerly Bank of Tokyo – Mitsubishi UFJ Leasing & Finance LLC during the term of the lease related to the manufacturing facility that was constructed on the site, which is described below. Minimum lease payments are $13.3 million during the entire 48.5-year term of the land lease, excluding six months of the land lease that were financed into the manufacturing facility lease. On August 26, 2016, we entered into a six-year lease with MUFG whereby a 225,000-square foot manufacturing and warehouse facility was constructed for our Industrial Inkjet operating segment at a cost of $39.8 million. Construction was completed in April 2018. Minimum lease payments during the initial six-year term are $1.8 million. Upon completion of the initial six-year term, we have the option to renew the lease, purchase the facility, or return the facility to MUFG subject to an 89% residual value guarantee under which we would recognize additional rent expense in the form of a variable rent payment. We have assessed our exposure in relation to the residual value guarantee and believe that there is no deficiency to the guaranteed value as of June 30, 2018. During the construction period, we were required to maintain restricted cash equivalents or restricted investments equal to the amount expended to date on the construction of the building as collateral. The funds were deposited with a third-party trustee and were restricted during the construction period. Upon completion of construction, $39.8 million was deposited with MUFG and is restricted as collateral until the end of the underlying building lease period. Legal Proceedings From time to time we are involved in a variety of claims, lawsuits, investigations, or proceedings relating to contractual disputes, securities laws, intellectual property rights, employment, or other matters that may arise in the normal course of business. We assess our potential liability in each of these matters by using the information available to us. We develop our views on estimated losses in consultation with inside and outside counsel, which involves a subjective analysis of potential results and various combinations of appropriate litigation and settlement strategies. We accrue estimated losses from contingencies if a loss is deemed probable and can be reasonably estimated. As of June 30, 2018, we are subject to the matters described below: Matan Digital Printing (“MDG”) Matter. EFI acquired Matan Digital Printers (“Matan”) in 2015 from sellers (the “2015 Sellers”) that had acquired Matan Digital Printing Ltd. from other sellers in 2001 (the “2001 Sellers”). The 2001 Sellers have asserted a claim against the 2015 Sellers and Matan asserting that they are entitled to a portion of the 2015 Sellers’ proceeds from EFI’s acquisition. The 2015 Sellers dispute this claim and have agreed to indemnify EFI against the 2001 Sellers’ claim. Although we are fully indemnified, we do not believe that it is probable that we will incur a loss. It is reasonably possible that our financial statements could be materially affected by an unfavorable resolution of this matter and we could incur a material loss in this matter. We estimate the range of loss to be between one dollar and $10.1 million. If we incur a loss in this matter, it will be offset by a receivable of an equal amount representing a claim for indemnification against the escrow account established in connection with the Matan acquisition. Purported Class Action Lawsuit. On August 10, 2017, a putative class action was filed against the Company and its two named executive officers in the United States District Court for the District of New Jersey, captioned Pipitone v. Electronics For Imaging, Inc., No. 2:17-cv-5992 (D.N.J.). A First Amended Complaint was filed on February 20, 2018. The plaintiffs allege, among other things, that statements by the Company and its officers about the Company’s financial reporting, revenue recognition, internal controls, and disclosure controls and procedures were false or misleading. The complaint seeks an unspecified amount of damages, interest, attorneys’ fees, and other costs, on behalf of a putative class of individuals and entities that purchased or otherwise acquired EFI securities from February 22, 2017 through August 3, 2017. EFI filed a motion to dismiss on April 23, 2018. The plaintiffs filed an opposition on May 23, 2018, and EFI filed its reply brief on June 13, 2018. A hearing on EFI’s motion to dismiss has not yet been scheduled. At this time, we do not believe it is probable that we will incur a material loss in this matter. However, it is reasonably possible that our financial statements could be materially affected by an unfavorable resolution of this matter. Since this matter is in the preliminary stages, we are not yet in a position to estimate the amount or range of reasonably possible loss that may be incurred. Purported Derivative Shareholder Lawsuits. On August 22, 2017, a purported derivative shareholder complaint was filed in the Superior Court of the State of California for the County of Alameda captioned Schiffmiller v. Gecht, No. RG17873197. A First Amended Complaint was filed on April 13, 2018. The complaint makes claims derivatively and on behalf of the Company as nominal defendant against the Company’s named executive officers and directors for alleged breaches of fiduciary duties and unjust enrichment, and alleges, among other things, that statements by the Company and its officers about the Company’s financial reporting, revenue recognition, internal controls, and disclosure controls and procedures were false or misleading. The complaint alleges the Company has suffered damage as a result of the individual defendants’ alleged actions, and seeks an unspecified amount of damages, restitution, and declaratory and other relief. The derivative action has been stayed pending the resolution of the Pipitone class action described above. At this time, we do not believe it is probable that we will incur a material loss in this matter. However, it is reasonably possible that our financial statements could be materially affected by an unfavorable resolution of this matter. Because this matter has been stayed pending resolution of the Pipitone class action described above, we are not yet in a position to estimate the amount or range of reasonably possible loss that may be incurred. Other Matters. As of June 30, 2018, we were subject to various other claims, lawsuits, investigations, and proceedings in addition to the matter discussed above. There is at least a reasonable possibility that additional losses may be incurred in excess of the amounts that we have accrued. However, we believe that these claims are not material to our financial statements or the range of reasonably possible losses is not reasonably estimable. Litigation is inherently unpredictable, and while we believe that we have valid defenses with respect to legal matters pending against us, our financial statements could be materially affected in any particular period by the unfavorable resolution of one or more of these contingencies or because of the diversion of management’s attention and the incurrence of significant expenses.

As of June 30, 2018, we are subject to the matters described below:

Matan Digital Printing (“MDG”) Matter.

Although we are fully indemnified, we do not believe that it is probable that we will incur a loss. It is reasonably possible that our financial statements could be materially affected by an unfavorable resolution of this matter and we could incur a material loss in this matter. We estimate the range of loss to be between one dollar and $10.1 million. If we incur a loss in this matter, it will be offset by a receivable of an equal amount representing a claim for indemnification against the escrow account established in connection with the Matan acquisition.

At this time, we do not believe it is probable that we will incur a material loss in this matter. However, it is reasonably possible that our financial statements could be materially affected by an unfavorable resolution of this matter. Since this matter is in the preliminary stages, we are not yet in a position to estimate the amount or range of reasonably possible loss that may be incurred.
