The report makes a strong case for the gradual build-up of PSC facilities, one component at a time, starting with a printing unit, and lays out the several implications this represents in terms of added technical training, machinery, evaluation techniques and personnel. Two fold-out schematics show the capabilities to be included: conceptualization, photography, graphics and layout, printing and finishing; distribution and follow up; in terms of premises, technical equipment and personnel. The second fold-out shows a possible architectural layout of the premises needed. Suggestions for equipment are also made.
