On the one hand, using a modern TeX like ConText can be maddening. On the other hand, there really isn't an open equivalent for dumping out high-resolution arbitrarily complex reports that I'm aware of; all the Jasper reports-inspired reporting systems absolutely suck in terms of printed quality.
Getting HTML to high-quality print status is easier than it used to be, but frankly, it just wasn't designed with printed reports in mind.
The SE comments note that while your colleagues may be impressed with the niceness of your reports, they will be annoyed when they need to edit them: this is my experience as well.
