         THIS EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT (this "Agreement"), dated as of January 1,

         WHEREAS, the terms and conditions of Employee's employment are
currently set forth in that certain Employment Agreement between the Employee
and Prograph Systems, Inc., a predecessor to the Company, dated as of November
8, 1999, and as the same may have been amended from time to time thereafter (the
"Predecessor Agreement"); and

         WHEREAS, the Company and the Employee have agreed upon revised terms
and conditions for the Employee's continued employment with the Company, which
revised terms and conditions are set forth in this Agreement and are intended to
supersede and replace the Predecessor Agreement.

         NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and mutual covenants
set forth herein and for other good and valuable consideration, the parties
agree as follows:

         1. TERM. This Agreement shall commence on the date of this Agreement
and shall continue for a term of one (1) year, unless otherwise terminated
earlier in accordance with the terms hereof (the "Term"). The Term shall
automatically renew for additional one (1) year periods unless terminated by
either party upon giving sixty (60) days written notice prior to the expiration
of the Term or any automatic renewal thereof, or unless otherwise terminated
earlier in accordance with the terms hereof. It is understood and agreed that
Employee's employment with the Company will terminate at the end of the Term,
and that Employee shall not thereafter continue to be employed by the Company as
an at-will employee or in any other capacity, and that upon such termination,
except as otherwise determined by the board of directors of the Company (the
"Board"), any and all other assignments and appointments by Employee related to
his employment shall also terminate (including, without limitation, any position
on the Board or any assignment as a fiduciary of any Company employee benefit
plan).

         2. POSITIONS AND DUTIES. During the Term, the Employee will be employed
as Vice President and Chief Technology Officer of the Company and shall be
responsible for all matters and responsibilities incidental to these positions.
The Employee shall report to the Company's Chief Executive Officer ("CEO"). The

<PAGE>


the CEO or the Board shall have the discretion to modify the Employee's duties
or assign new duties to the Employee or to modify the Employee's reporting
relationships; provided, that said modifications are consistent with those
duties typically performed by an executive officer of the Company. The Employee
further agrees to devote his full business time, attention and efforts to the
performance of his duties hereunder, provided that the Employee may serve on
corporate, civic or charitable boards or committees, deliver lectures, fulfill
speaking engagements, teach at educational institutions or manage personal
investments if such activities do not individually or in the aggregate
significantly interfere with the performance of his duties under this Agreement.

         3. SALARY. The Employee's salary shall be at an annual rate of $175,000
(the "Base Salary"), payable in accordance with the Company's customary payroll
practices. The Employee's Base Salary may be adjusted from time to time by the
Board in its sole discretion.

         4. STOCK OPTIONS.

            (a) Upon the execution of this Agreement, the Company shall grant to
the Employee options (the "Options") to purchase 170,000 shares of the Company's
Series E Preferred Stock ("Shares") at an exercise price of $1.14 per share.
Subject to (b) below, the Options shall vest over a period of four (4) years
(the "Vesting Term"), with one-forty-eighth (1/48th) of the Options vesting on
January 31, 2002 and on the last day of each of the succeeding forty-seven
calendar months respectively, and any Options that are not otherwise vested upon
the Employee's termination of employment for any reason shall expire. The
Options shall otherwise be subject to the terms of the Company's 2002 Key
Executive Stock Incentive Plan and the instrument providing for the grant of
such options to the Employee.

            (b) In the event of any Change of Control (as hereinafter defined),
the Employee shall be treated, for purposes of determining the number of Options
which are vested as of the effective date of such Change of Control, as if the
Employee had been employed for six (6) months following such Change of Control.

         "Change of Control" shall mean (1) a dissolution or liquidation of the
Company; (2) any sale or transfer of all or substantially all of the total
assets of the Company; (3) any merger, consolidation or other business
reorganization in which the holders of the Company's outstanding voting
securities immediately prior to such transaction do not hold, immediately
following such transaction, securities representing fifty percent (50%) or more
of the combined voting power of the outstanding securities of the surviving
entity; or (4) the acquisition by any person (within the meaning of Section
13(d)(3) or Section 14(d)(2) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended
(the "Exchange Act")) (other than the Company, or any subsidiary, affiliate

meaning of Rule 13d-3 or any successor rule or regulation promulgated under the

then-outstanding securities of the Company. Notwithstanding anything in the
preceding sentence, the acquisition by Creo SRL or its affiliates of beneficial
ownership of securities representing less than one hundred percent (100%) of the
total combined voting power of the outstanding securities of the Company shall
not be deemed a Change of Control.

         5. BENEFITS AND EXPENSES.

            (a) During the Term, the Company will provide benefits (including,
without limitation, fringe benefits and vacation allowances) to the Employee no
less favorable than those benefits made available to similarly situated
employees of the Company.

            (b) During the Term, the Employee shall be reimbursed for all
reasonable and necessary expenses incurred in connection with the business of
the Company, upon the submission of appropriate documentation therefor. Such

Employee shall be entitled to continue to receive Employee's Base Salary for one
year following such termination as well as continuation for one year of health,

                  CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION, NONCOMPETITION AND
                         INVENTION ASSIGNMENT AGREEMENT


         As a condition of my employment being continued by printCafe, Inc., a
Delaware corporation, or any of its current or future parent, subsidiaries,
affiliates, successors or assigns (collectively, the "COMPANY"), and in
consideration of the Company's entering into an employment agreement with me
effective January 1, 2002 ("EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT") and my receipt of the
compensation and benefits contemplated thereunder, I hereby agree to the
following:

         1. EMPLOYMENT RELATIONSHIP. I understand and acknowledge that this
Agreement does not alter, amend or expand upon any rights I may have to continue
in the employ of, or the duration of my employment relationship with, the
Company under the Employment Agreement or under applicable law. Any employment
relationship between the Company and me shall be referred to herein as the
"RELATIONSHIP."

         2. CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION.

            (a) COMPANY INFORMATION. I agree at all times during the term of my
Relationship with the Company and thereafter, to hold in strictest confidence,
and not to use, except for the benefit of the Company, or to disclose to any
person, firm, corporation or other entity without written authorization of the
Board of Directors of the Company, any Confidential Information of the Company
which I obtain or create. I further agree not to make copies of such
Confidential Information except as authorized by the Company. I understand that
"CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION" means any Company proprietary information, technical
data, trade secrets or know-how, including, but not limited to, research,
product plans, products, services, suppliers, customer lists and customers
(including, but not limited to, customers of the Company on whom I called or

information, marketing, licenses, finances, budgets or other business
information disclosed to me by the Company either directly or indirectly in
writing, orally or by drawings or observation of parts or equipment or created
by me during the period of the Relationship, whether or not during working
hours. I understand that "CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION" includes, but is not limited
to, information pertaining to any aspects of the Company's business which is
either information not known by actual or potential competitors of the Company
or is proprietary information of the Company or its customers or suppliers,
whether of a technical nature or otherwise. I further understand that
Confidential Information does not include any of the foregoing items which has
become publicly and widely known and made generally available through no
wrongful act of mine or of others who were under confidentiality obligations as
to the item or items involved.

            (b) FORMER EMPLOYER INFORMATION. I represent that my performance of
all terms of this Agreement as an employee of the Company has not breached and
will not breach any agreement to keep in confidence proprietary information,
knowledge or data acquired by me


<PAGE>


in confidence or trust prior or subsequent to the commencement of my
Relationship with the Company, and I will not disclose to the Company, or induce
the Company to use, any inventions, confidential or proprietary information or
material belonging to any previous employer or any other party.

            (c) THIRD PARTY INFORMATION. I recognize that the Company has
received and in the future will receive confidential or proprietary information
from third parties subject to a duty on the Company's part to maintain the
confidentiality of such information and to use it only for certain limited
purposes. I agree to hold all such confidential or proprietary information in
the strictest confidence and not to disclose it to any person, firm or
corporation or to use it except as necessary in carrying out my work for the
Company consistent with the Company's agreement with such third party.

         3. INVENTIONS.

            (a) INVENTIONS RETAINED AND LICENSED. I have attached hereto, as
EXHIBIT X, a list describing with particularity all inventions, original works
of authorship, developments, improvements, and trade secrets which were made by
me prior to the commencement of the Relationship (collectively referred to as
"PRIOR INVENTIONS"), which belong solely to me or belong to me jointly with
another, which relate in any way to any of the Company's proposed businesses,
products or research and development, and which are not assigned to the Company
hereunder; or, if no such list is attached, I represent that there are no such
Prior Inventions. If, in the course of my Relationship with the Company, I
incorporate into a Company product, process or machine a Prior Invention owned
by me or in which I have an interest, the Company is hereby granted and shall
have a non-exclusive, royalty-free, irrevocable, perpetual, worldwide license
(with the right to sublicense) to make, have made, copy, modify, make derivative
works of, use, sell and otherwise distribute such Prior Invention as part of or
in connection with such product, process or machine.

            (b) ASSIGNMENT OF INVENTIONS. I agree that I will promptly make full
written disclosure to the Company, will hold in trust for the sole right and
benefit of the Company, and hereby assign to the Company, or its designee, all
my right, title and interest throughout the world in and to any and all
inventions, original works of authorship, developments, concepts, know-how,
improvements or trade secrets, whether or not patentable or registrable under
copyright or similar laws, which I may solely or jointly conceive or develop or
reduce to practice, or cause to be conceived or developed or reduced to
practice, during the period of time in which I am employed by the Company
(collectively referred to as "INVENTIONS"), except as provided in Section 4(e)
below. I further acknowledge that all inventions, original works of authorship,
developments, concepts, know-how, improvements or trade secrets which are made
by me (solely or jointly with others) within the scope of and during the period
of my Relationship with the Company are "WORKS MADE FOR HIRE" (to the greatest
extent permitted by applicable law) and are compensated by my salary, unless
regulated otherwise by the mandatory law of the state of California.

            (c) MAINTENANCE OF RECORDS. I agree to keep and maintain adequate
and current written records of all Inventions made by me (solely or jointly with
others) during the term of my Relationship with the Company. The records may be
in the form of notes, sketches,


                                       2
<PAGE>


drawings, flow charts, electronic data or recordings, laboratory notebooks, and
any other format. The records will be available to and remain the sole property
of the Company at all times. I agree not to remove such records from the
Company's place of business except as expressly permitted by Company policy
which may, from time to time, be revised at the sole election of the Company for
the purpose of furthering the Company's business.

            (d) PATENT AND COPYRIGHT RIGHTS. I agree to assist the Company, or
its designee, at the Company's expense, in every proper way to secure the
Company's rights in the Inventions and any copyrights, patents, trademarks, mask
work rights, moral rights, or other intellectual property rights relating
thereto in any and all countries, including the disclosure to the Company of all
pertinent information and data with respect thereto, the execution of all
applications, specifications, oaths, assignments, recordations, and all other
instruments which the Company shall deem necessary in order to apply for,
obtain, maintain and transfer such rights and in order to assign and convey to
the Company, its successors, assigns and nominees the sole and exclusive rights,
title and interest in and to such Inventions, and any copyrights, patents, mask
work rights or other intellectual property rights relating thereto. I further
agree that my obligation to execute or cause to be executed, when it is in my
power to do so, any such instrument or papers shall continue after the
termination of this Agreement until the expiration of the last such intellectual
property right to expire in any country of the world. If the Company is unable
because of my mental or physical incapacity or unavailability or for any other
reason to secure my signature to apply for or to pursue any application for any
United States or foreign patents or copyright registrations covering Inventions
or original works of authorship assigned to the Company as above, then I hereby
irrevocably designate and appoint the Company and its duly authorized officers
and agents as my agent and attorney in fact, to act for and in my behalf and
stead to execute and file any such applications and to do all other lawfully
permitted acts to further the application for, prosecution, issuance,
maintenance or transfer of letters patent or copyright registrations thereon
with the same legal force and effect as if originally executed by me. I hereby
waive and irrevocably quitclaim to the Company any and all claims, of any nature
whatsoever, which I now or hereafter have for infringement of any and all
proprietary rights assigned to the Company.

            (e) STATUTORY NOTIFICATION. I am hereby notified that this Agreement
does not apply to any Inventions for which no equipment, supplies, facility or
