National yearbook and photography company Balfour & Co., is claiming, via a press release, “a flawless start to the yearbook delivery season. With nearly 100% of books delivered on time—and many arriving weeks ahead of schedule, with unmatched quality—Balfour is setting the standard for speed, quality, and customer satisfaction this year.
“At Balfour, we’re committed to delivering not only the best quality yearbooks but also the best yearbook experience,” said Ryan Esko, CEO of Balfour & Co. “We made a significant investment of tens of millions of dollars in our new cutting-edge printing and technology, and our customers are now seeing those unmatched benefits with the quality they deserve to celebrate their year.”
The company said the improvements were driven by investment in technology:
- Balfour Vivid Print, featuring 2400 DPI and 220 LPI for brilliant color and crystal-clear image quality. Balfour Vivid Print is made possible by Balfour’s new yearbook publishing facility, featuring sustainability through water-based inks and a zero-waste page printing process.
- Convenience with facial recognition AI and front-to-back printing: Integrated into the Balfour Vivid Print system, this technology automatically organizes and tags student images, saving schools time and ensuring every student is recognized. Balfour’s new technology also utilizes the new front-to-back printing for yearbooks with no interim deadlines for content.
- ENCORE yearbook software: Balfour’s drag-and-drop design platform streamlines the yearbook creation process for students and advisers.
- EZ Pix: A tool allowing school communities to easily contribute photos for a more complete yearbook story.
