Students of
Four Winds
Waldorf School in Warrenville, Illinois received high marks-and unexpected
rewards-from a Carol Stream digital printer.
Copresco
president Steve Johnson
shared plaques with the students and faculty members for an awards-winning
yearbook project. Copresco was honored
with the Achievement in Print
Excellence Award from the Printing Industry of Illinois/Indiana Association
and a Xerox Printing Innovation
Award for producing the full-color book. The awards honor the highest
achievements in printing.
The yearbook project combined a unique blend
of design creativity with the benefits of on-demand digital printing
technology. "Since Four Winds is not a typical public school, the yearbook had
to showcase the creative spirit of the private educational institution,"
Johnson says. "And, because the book was created as a fundraiser, production
cost control was essential."
Collaboration between the teacher who
designed the yearbook and Copresco's digital color printing staff resulted in a
final product that exceeded the quality of conventional yearbooks.
Four
Winds students remained actively involved in the production phase throughout
the project. "The kids all received A's from our staff. They became competent
print buyers, selecting the paper stock and binding style. They also visited
our plant on several occasions and even helped with the manual portion of the
book binding process," Johnson explained.
"Sales of the yearbook
exceeded 100% of the projected goal and fundraising results surpassed
expectations, Johnson added. "Since additional copies could be cost-effectively
reprinted on-demand, there was no need to overrun the initial print run-and
therefore no waste."
The school's marketing department came up with
another big benefit: the yearbook turns out to be a great marketing tool!
Copresco specializes in digital on-demand printing of publications,
books and manuals for clients in the general business, printing trade,
technical and institutional fields.
