A Gold Medal in Printing

“It is a privilege to do this work,” says Raj Nadrajan, director of SFU Auxiliary Services. “Germany knows quality printing, but with traditional presses there was not enough time to create and print these newsletters in the tight daily timeline.”

The newsletter, called “Olympische Momente” (Olympic Moments), contained articles and photos showcasing the accomplishments of the German Olympics team (which, incidentally, did quite well, earning 30 medals—right behind the U.S., which won 37). Reporters sent materials to Germany each evening for final assembly and approval by medienfabrik, the German corporate publishing agency that handled German Olympics coverage. At about 1 a.m., the resulting digital pages were submitted to SFU Document Solutions using WebCRD. Files were reviewed and then produced by two SFU in-plant employees.
