When most people think about annual reports, they visualize glitzy big-budget productions filled with scores of photos and graphics, with print runs in the tens of thousand and major league budgets to match.
What if you must
produce a short - run annual report that communicates important information for
a governmental agency with a tight budget and a mandatory reporting deadline?
This was the problem that graphic designer Lynn Winston
faced for her client, the Illinois African-American Family Commission
(IAAFC).
The best
solution was digital color printing by Copresco.
The
result was a piece that met all of the client project criteria—and won an
Achievement in Print Excellence Award from the Printing Industry of
Illinois/Indiana Association.
Copresco
shared the award with Lynn, president of Powell Graphics & Communications,
Inc. and the IAAFC.
Copresco president and CEO Steve
Johnson presented commemorative award plaques to Lynn and Terry Solomon,
executive director, and Joe Gray, deputy director of finance, information &
administration, of the Commission.

IAAFC was
established in 2004 to assist various Illinois state agencies in improving and
expanding existing human services, educational and community development
programs for African-Americans.
Each year, the
Chicago-based Commission is required to submit a fiscal year report to the
governor of Illinois and members of the Illinois General Assembly.
The report, which looked back on 2005, focused on the
Commission's efforts to understand families involved in several systems
including child welfare and criminal justice.
The 81/2"
x 11" saddle stitched report featured a full color bleed photo on the four-page
separate cover. The 24-page body was designed with full bleeds and four-color
on each page.
Lynn also used full tint and blend effects
on the cover and throughout the inside of the report.
She
provided Copresco with pressquality PDFs, which were imposed into four-page
signatures for printing.
The short
run, combined with the tight deadline, made digital printing the optimum
choice.
Strict quality requirements for hairline
registration on the fold and no cracking created a digital challenge but added
to the overall appeal of the high-quality, award-winning piece.
The AIPX
program promotes excellence in print communications and recognizes firms that
demonstrate the highest quality standards of the printing industry.
Since the program began in 2003, Copresco has won nine
achievement awards including four Best of Category Pinnacle awards.
So, when
you need books and manuals, a short-run annual report or similar job, call the
company that gives you the quality, service and technical support you deserve.

winner.
