This is a personal preference, but it is worth consideration, in my opinion.

Have you considered writing your output as HTML? Hitting the Print icon from a web page is an awfully easy way to deliver attractive reports to the user's desktop.

Beyond that, this has two huge advantages in my opinion. First, there is so much more versatility, including colors, tables with borders, images, backgrounds, a wide variety of fonts, and the report is easily published on your intranet thereby saving paper and archiving costs. Secondly, finding people who can extend HTML is so much easier than finding people who can write overlays.

Just a thought.
