the ExScite’s Efi and Dalya Arazi hosted a party

In May 2006, the ExScite’s Efi and Dalya Arazi hosted a party in their new home in Herzlia Pituah (not far from what used to be called Scitex corporation).
The nostalgic evening was exciting and ExScite’ing. Several dozens of Israeli high-tech executives and politicians, as well as former friends from Efi’s days at the helm of Scitex and EFI, came to show their love to Efi.
The evening was well attended and included good food, dancing, a short movie highlighting Efi’s lifetime achievements, and even a personal recorded message from the new Israeli Prime Minister Mr. Ehud Olmert.

In the pictures [above] are Efi and Dalya and in the picture below is the invitation for the event..
We at ExScite.Net have additional pictures and videos, which we plan to post here later on.

Microsoft XPS, the new document and print format and print workflow in Microsoft Vista, will provide significant improvements with regards to image quality and color fidelity over the existing GDI printer pipeline. XPS also appears to be a strategic initiative by MicroSoft to compete against Adobe and PDF. Printer, RIP and Software manufacturers will need to make changes to their existing applications and drivers in order to take advantage of XPS print and color capabilities.

The article ?TURNING OVER A NEW LEAF , The Leaf Volare and Cantare digital camera backs? appeared in 1999 at the Photographer Magazine.
Leaf Systems Inc began as an American company, which in 1992 was acquired by the Scitex. The original Leaf Digital Camera Back produced 2048 x 2048 pixel images of such outstanding quality that this camera alone confirmed the future of high quality digital acquisition. I visited Scitex Corporation Ltd in Israel in May 1999, to discuss and use their forthcoming single-shot camera back, the Leaf Cantare.
A visit to a camera manufacturer speaks volumes about that company, Scitex. Research, design, software, manufacture, assembly, testing, packing and marketing is all done in-house by a close-knit team. I saw it all.
