Such solicitation is being made by mail and may also be made by directors, officers and employees of the Company. Any Proxy given pursuant to such solicitation may be revoked by the shareholder at any time prior to the voting thereof by so notifying the Company in writing at the above address, attention: Clifford F. Stritch, Jr., Chief Executive Officer, or by appearing and voting in person at the meeting. Shares represented by Proxies will be voted as specified in such Proxies. In the absence of specific instructions, Proxies will be voted (to the extent they are entitled to be voted on such matters): (1) FOR the approval of the Amended and Restated By-Laws of the Company; (2) FOR the election to the Board of Directors of the nominees named in this Proxy Statement; and (3) in the Proxies' discretion, upon such other business as may properly come before the meeting. All of the expenses involved in preparing, assembling and mailing this Proxy Statement and the material enclosed herewith will be paid by the Company. The Company may reimburse banks, brokerage firms and other custodians, nominees and fiduciaries for reasonable expenses incurred by them in sending proxy material to beneficial owners of stock. This Proxy Statement and the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended April 30, 2002 are being mailed to shareholders on or about September 15, 2002. No portion of such Annual Report is incorporated herein and no portion is to be considered proxy soliciting material. VOTING PROCEDURES Votes cast by proxy or in person at the Annual Meeting will be tabulated by the election inspectors appointed for the meeting and will determine whether or not a quorum is present. Abstentions are not counted as "for" or "against" votes, but are counted in the total number of votes present and entitled to vote for passage of a proposal. This has the effect of abstentions being treated as "no" votes. Broker nonvotes are considered shares present for quorum purposes, but they are not considered shares entitled to vote, are not counted in the total number of votes, and have no effect on the outcome of voting. Common Stock, no par value ("Common Stock"), of which there were 3,024,797 shares outstanding on August 16, 2002, constitutes the only class of outstanding voting securities issued by the Company. Each holder of Common Stock will be entitled to cast one vote in person or by proxy for each share of Common Stock held for the election of directors and for all other matters voted on at the Annual Meeting. Only shareholders of record of the Common Stock at the close of business on August 16, 2002 will be entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting (the "Record Date"). The approval of the Amended and Restated By-Laws of the Company (Proposal 1) and the election of each director nominee (Proposal 2) requires the affirmative vote of the shareholders holding at least a majority of Common Stock present in person or by proxy, and entitled to vote, at the Annual Meeting. OUTSTANDING STOCK BENEFICIAL OWNERSHIP OF OUTSTANDING STOCK Information as to the name, address and stock holdings of each person known by the Company to be a beneficial owner of more than 5% of its Common Stock and as to the name, address and stock holdings of certain executive officers, each director and nominee for election to the Board of Directors and by all executive officers, directors, and nominees, as a group, as of August 16, 2002 is set forth below.

The following summary of the proposed Amended and Restated By-Laws is qualified in its entirety by the full text of the Amended and Restated By-Laws attached to this Proxy Statement as APPENDIX A. CLASSIFICATION AND INCREASING SIZE OF BOARD OF DIRECTORS Under the Company's current By-Law 4.01, all members of the Board of Directors are elected at the annual shareholder meeting to serve for a term that expires at the next shareholder meeting. The Amended and Restated By-Laws amends By-Law 4.01 to divide the Company's Board of Directors into two classes, Class I and Class II, such 3 that the term of office of approximately one-half of the directors shall expire each year. The initial term of Class I directors will expire at the annual meeting of the shareholders held in 2003 and the initial term of Class II directors will expire at the annual meeting of the shareholders held in 2004. Following the expiration of the initial term of a class, the shareholders will elect one class of directors each year, with each director so elected to hold office for a term expiring at the second annual meeting of shareholders following his or her election. The same procedure will be repeated each year, with the result that approximately one-half of the members of the Board of Directors will be elected each year. The Company's current By-Law 4.01 provides that the number of members of the Board of Directors to be elected at any shareholder meeting is determined from time to time by the Board of Directors. If the Board of Directors does not expressly fix the number of directors to be so elected, then the number of directors shall be the number of directors elected at the preceding regular meeting of shareholders. Under the Company's current By-Law 4.01, the size of the Board of Directors can not be increased between shareholder meetings. The Amended and Restated By-Laws amends By-Law 4.01 to provide that the Company's directors may increase the number of members of the Board of Directors and elect additional directors to the vacancies so created between shareholder meetings, subject to the power of the shareholders at the next shareholder meeting to remove any director so elected and to reduce the size of the Board of Directors. The Amended and Restated By-laws further amends By-Law 4.01 to require the affirmative vote of at least 75% of the voting power of all of the outstanding capital stock of the Company to amend, repeal, or to adopt any provision inconsistent with By-Law 4.01. The Board of Directors believes that dividing the directors into two classes is advantageous to the Company and its shareholders because (1) directors will serve two-year terms rather than one-year terms, increasing the likelihood of continuity and stability in the policies formulated by the Board of Directors; and (2) the amendment will encourage potential acquirers of the Company to deal directly with the Board of Directors by making it difficult to replace the entire Board of Directors at any one shareholder meeting. If the Amended and Restated By-Laws are adopted, outside groups or individuals will be prevented from gaining control of the Board of Directors at any one shareholder meeting unless such group or individual obtains the affirmative vote of the holders of at least 75% of the voting power of the outstanding capital stock of the Company to change the composition of the Board of Directors through an amendment to the By-Laws. If such vote is not obtained, it would take such group or individual at least two elections of directors to gain control of the Board of Directors. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Board of Directors believes that it is essential to have the flexibility to expand the size of the Board of Directors between shareholder meetings for several reasons. The Company anticipates that recruitment and retention of members of the Board of Directors is likely to become more difficult in the future. The ability to respond to opportunities to recruit valued members of the Board of Directors is improved if the Board of Directors can more readily take advantage of new opportunities. Secondly, the flexibility to expand the Board of Directors will allow the Company to enter into financing or other business transactions that may require providing a Board seat to one or more participants in the transaction. The Board of Directors believes that, in certain situations, a third party could acquire a block of the Company's stock and try to gain control of the Company or attempt to realize a return on its investment without purchasing the remainder of the Company's stock through a tender offer or other means of acquisition. Such a purchaser might attempt to force the Company to accept a merger or restructuring or accept another proposal by launching a proxy contest to unseat the Company's Board of Directors. Following a substantial accumulation of stock of the Company, a hostile purchaser could seek representation on the Company's Board of Directors to increase the likelihood that its proposal would be implemented by the Company. The Board of Directors believes that the threat of removal from the Board of Directors in such a situation could curtail the Board of Director's ability to negotiate effectively with a potential purchaser and its efforts to have the time and information necessary to evaluate the merits of such proposal and attempt to maximize the price obtained in any transaction based on such proposal. The Board of Directors believes that, if the Amended and Restated By-Laws are adopted by the shareholders, a potential hostile purchaser will be forced to negotiate directly with the Board of Directors, and that the Board of Directors will be in a better position to negotiate effectively on behalf of all shareholders in order to realize fair and equitable shareholder value. 4 The Amended and Restated By-laws may have an impact upon the rights of shareholders and may be characterized as an anti-takeover measure which, if adopted, may tend to insulate management and make the accomplishment of certain transactions involving a potential change of control of the Company more difficult. The adoption of the Amended and Restated By-Laws is not being proposed in response to any specific effort to which the Company is aware to accumulate the Company's stock or to obtain control of the Company or its Board of Directors or to consummate a business transaction. The Board of Directors has considered the potential adverse effects of the proposed Amended and Restated By-Laws and has concluded that such adverse effects are outweighed by the benefits adoption of the Amended and Restated By-Laws would afford the Company and its shareholders. Because the amendments may significantly affect the ability of shareholders of the Company to effect rapid changes in the composition of the Board of Directors, all shareholders are urged to read carefully the description of the Amended and Restated By-laws and its purposes and effects, as well as the text of the proposed Amended and Restated By-Laws contained in APPENDIX A. NOTICE TO SHAREHOLDERS AND BOARD OF DIRECTORS; PROXIES; PARTICIPATION IN MEETING OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS The Amended and Restated By-Laws amends By-Law 1.01(g) to change the Chapter number that references the Minnesota Business Corporation Act from Minnesota Statutes Chapter 270 to Minnesota Statutes Chapter 302A, as amended from time to time. The intent of this amendment is to have the Company's By-Laws reference the current Chapter of the Minnesota Statutes for the Minnesota Business Corporation Act. The Amended and Restated By-Laws amends By-Law 3.04 to expand the number of ways that notice may be given to shareholders for any shareholder meeting. If the Amended and Restated By-Laws are adopted, it will allow shareholders to receive notice of a meeting by oral communication, by mailing to an address designated by the shareholder or to the last known address of the shareholder, by handing a copy to the shareholder, or by any other delivery that conforms to law. The intent of this amendment is to allow the Company to take advantage of the additional methods of providing notice of shareholders meetings as permitted by the recent changes to Minnesota law. The Amended and Restated By-Laws amends By-Law 3.07 to expand the number of ways that proxies may be authorized and submitted by shareholders. By-Law 3.07 in the Amended and Restated By-laws allows shareholders to appoint a proxy in writing, or by telephonic transmission or authenticated electronic communication, as defined by the Minnesota law, so long as it can reasonably be determined that the shareholder authorized the appointment. By-Law 3.07 in the Amended and Restated By-Laws also allows a shareholder to submit to the Company a copy or other reproduction of the proxy, provided that the copied or reproduced proxy is a complete and legible reproduction of the entire original written proxy. For shares owned jointly by two or more shareholders, By-Law 3.07 of the Amended and Restated By-Laws states that a proxy may be appointed if it is signed by any one of the shareholders, unless the Secretary of the Company receives from any one of the shareholders written notice or authenticated electronic communication (as defined by Minnesota law) that denies the authority of that person to appoint a proxy or appoints a different proxy. The intent of this amendment is to allow the Company's shareholders to take advantage of the additional methods of providing a proxy as permitted by the recent changes to Minnesota law. The Amended and Restated By-laws amend By-Law 4.04 to expand the ways that notice may be given to the members of the Board of Directors for any meeting. If the Amended and Restated By-Laws are adopted, notice of meetings of the Board of Directors may be given to the directors in any manner authorized by Minnesota law. The intent of this amendment is to allow the Company to take advantage of the additional methods of providing notice as permitted by recent changes to Minnesota law. The Amended and Restated By-Laws amend By-Law 4.05 to expand the ways that directors may participate in meetings of the Board of Directors. By-Law 4.05 in the Amended and Restated By-Laws allows the directors to participate in meetings by telephone conference or, if authorized by a majority of the Directors, by remote communication, as defined by Minnesota law, provided that all directors so participating and all directors physically attending the meeting can participate with each other during the meeting. The intent of this amendment is to allow the Company's Board of Directors to take advantage of the additional methods of participating in Board meetings as permitted by recent changes to Minnesota law. 5 The Company's current By-Law 4.04 permits the Board of Directors to take action without a meeting if the action was in writing, signed by all the members of the Board of Directors or committee. The Amended and Restated By-Laws moves this language to the new By-Law 4.11 and gives the Board of Directors the authority to take action without a meeting if consented to by authenticated electronic communication, as defined by Minnesota law, by all the members of the Board of Directors or committee. Any written action is effective when signed by the required number of directors, unless otherwise provided. The intent of this amendment is to allow the Board of Directors to take advantage of the additional methods to take action without a meeting as permitted by recent changes to Minnesota law. TYPOGRAPHICAL ERRORS The Amended and Restated By-Laws corrects various non-substantive typographical errors in the Company's current By-Laws. The Board of Directors believes these changes will have no effect on the operation of the Company and are strictly being proposed to correct typographical errors. THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS THAT THE SHAREHOLDERS VOTE "FOR" THE ADOPTION OF THE AMENDED AND RESTATED BY-LAWS OF THE COMPANY. PROPOSAL 2: ELECTION OF DIRECTORS NOMINATION AND ELECTION OF DIRECTORS Currently, the Board of Directors of the Company consists of four persons, each of whose term expires at the Annual Meeting. The Board of Directors has fixed the number of directors to be elected at the Annual Meeting at four directors pursuant to the Company's current By-Laws. If the shareholders approve Proposal 1, the two separate classes of directors, designated as Class I and Class II, will be elected at the Annual Meeting. The two directors elected to Class I of the Company's Board of Directors will serve for approximately a one-year term that will expire at the 2003 Annual Meeting of the Company's shareholders. The two directors elected to Class II of the Company's Board of Directors will serve for approximately a two-year term that will expire at the 2004 Annual Meeting of the Company's shareholders. If the shareholders do not approve Proposal 1, four (4) directors will be elected at the Annual Meeting to hold office until the next Annual Meeting of the shareholders or until his successor is elected and qualified. The Proxies granted by the shareholders will be voted at the Annual Meeting for the election of the four persons listed below as directors of the Company. All nominees are currently directors of the Company. NOMINEES FOR DIRECTOR CLASS OF DIRECTORS (IF PROPOSAL 1 IS ADOPTED) --------------------- --------------------------------------------- William J. Brummond I Edwin F. Snyder I Michael J. Evers II Clifford F. Stritch, Jr. II Each of the nominees has consented to being named as a nominee and to serve as a director if elected. No director nominee has any family relationship between any other director. The Board of Directors has no reason to expect that any of the nominees will be unable to stand for election on the date of the Annual Meeting. In the event that one of more of the above named persons shall become unavailable for election, votes will be cast pursuant to authority granted by the enclosed proxy for such person or persons as may be designated by the Board of Directors, unless the Board of Directors determines to reduce its size appropriately.

COMMITTEES AND MEETINGS OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS Messrs. Evers and Brummond are the current members of the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors, both of whom are independent as that term is defined in Rule 4200(a)(14) of the NASD's listing standards. The Company's Board of Directors has not adopted a charter for the Audit Committee. The Audit Committee represents the Board in discharging its responsibilities relating to accounting, reporting, and financial control practices of the Company. The Audit Committee has general responsibility for review with management of the financial controls, accounting, and audit and reporting activities of the Company. The Company annually reviews the qualification and engagement of the Company's independent auditors, makes recommendations to the Board as to their selection, reviews the scope, fees, and results of their audits, and reviews their management comment letters. See "Audit Committee Report" below for further information regarding the activities of the Audit Committee. During fiscal 2002, the Audit Committee met four times. All members of the Board of Directors are the current members of the Compensation Committee, which oversees compensation for directors, officers and key employees of the Company. During fiscal 2002, the Compensation Committee met one time. During fiscal 2002, the Board of Directors met two times. Each director attended, in person or by telephone, 75% or more of the aggregate total of meetings of the Board of Directors and meetings of committees of the Board of Directors on which such director serves except that Mr. Heenan did not attend 75% or more of the aggregate total of meetings of the Board of Directors. The Board of Directors also had periodic informal meetings throughout fiscal 2002. AUDIT COMMITTEE REPORT The Audit Committee has reviewed and discussed the audited financial statements of the Company for fiscal 2002 with the Company's management.

The Audit Committee has received the written disclosures and the letter from the independent auditors required by the Independence Standards Board Standard No. 1 (Independence Discussions with Audit Committees) and has discussed with the independent auditors the independent auditors' independence. The Audit Committee also has considered whether the independent auditors' provision of other non-audit services to the Company is compatible with maintaining the independence of independent auditors. Based on the discussions and reviews noted above, the Audit Committee recommended to the Company's Board of Directors that the audited financials be included in the Company's annual report on Form 10-KSB for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2002.

Brummond was granted options to purchase 50,000 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $1.08 pursuant to the terms of the Infinite Graphics Incorporated Stock Option Plan of 1993. The option was immediately exercisable for 20% of the amount granted and is exercisable in 40%, 60%, 80% and 100% increments on the first, second, third and fourth anniversaries of the option grant. The option expires on June 17, 2010. CERTAIN TRANSACTIONS During fiscal 2002, the Company leased the properties at 4621 East Lake Street from Infinite Properties, a partnership of the Company's Chairman of the Board, Clifford F. Stritch, Jr., and Daniel R. Schultz. The lease for 4621 East Lake Street is dated October 31, 1983, and had an original term of five years. In 1988, the Company exercised its option to renew this lease for an additional five year term. The lease has been amended several times to extend the term. Currently, the lease has been orally amended to extend to April 30, 2004. The rent is currently $2,750 per month. The Company pays Clifford Stritch $20,000 as a fee for his being required to personally sign as guarantor of the Company's debt. SECTION 16(a) BENEFICIAL OWNERSHIP REPORTING COMPLIANCE Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 requires the Company's directors and executive officers, and persons who own more than ten percent of a registered class of the Company's equity securities, to file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") initial reports of ownership and reports of changes in ownership of Common Stock and other equity securities of the Company. Officers, directors and greater than ten-percent shareholders are also required by SEC regulation to furnish the Company with copies of all Section 16(a) forms they file. To the Company's knowledge, based solely on review of the copies of such reports furnished to the Company and written representations that no other reports were required, during the fiscal year ended April 30, 2002, all Section 16(a) filing requirements applicable to its officers, directors and greater than ten-percent beneficial owners were timely complied with. INDEPENDENT AUDITORS CHANGE OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS On March 5, 2001, the Company dismissed Deloitte & Touche LLP as its principal independent auditors, and engaged McGladrey & Pullen LLP as its principal independent auditors. The decision to change auditors was recommended by management of the Company and approved by the Company's Board of Directors and Audit Committee. The reports of Deloitte & Touche LLP on the financial statements of the Company for fiscal years ended April 30, 1999 and April 30, 2000 do not contain a disclaimer of opinion or an adverse opinion nor were such reports qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope, or accounting principles. During the Company's fiscal years ended April 30, 1999 and April 30, 2000 and the subsequent interim period to March 5, 2001, there were no disagreements with Deloitte & Touche LLP on matters of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure that, if not resolved to their satisfaction, would have caused Deloitte & Touche LLP to refer to the subject matter of the disagreements in their report. Following the completion of the audits of the financial statements of the Company for each of the fiscal years ended April 30, 1999 and April 30, 2000, Deloitte & Touche LLP communicated to the Company's Audit Committee certain deficiencies in the design or operation of the Company's internal controls which, in Deloitte & 10 Touche LLP's judgment, could adversely affect the Company's ability to record, process, summarize and report financial data consistent with the assertions of the Company's management in the Company's financial statements. The Company has authorized Deloitte & Touche LLP to respond fully to the inquiries of the Company's successor independent auditors. The Company's Board of Directors has selected McGladrey & Pullen LLP to serve as the Company's independent auditors for the fiscal year ending April 30, 2002. It is not expected that a member of McGladrey & Pullen LLP will be present at the Annual Meeting. However, the Company will forward any questions that arise to McGladrey & Pullen LLP, who will have the opportunity to respond to them. AUDIT FEES Total fees of $57,553 were incurred by the Company relating to the audit of the financial statements by the Company's independent auditors for fiscal 2002, review of the financial statements included in the Company's fiscal 2002 quarterly reports on Form 10-QSB, and other matters directly relating to the fiscal 2002 audit and filing of the annual report on Form 10-KSB for fiscal 2002. FINANCIAL INFORMATION SYSTEMS DESIGN AND IMPLEMENTATION FEES No fees were billed to the Company by the Company's independent auditors for professional services as described in Paragraph (c)(4)(ii) of Rule 2-01 of Regulation S-X in fiscal 2002. ALL OTHER FEES The aggregate fees billed by the Company's independent auditors for professional services provided during fiscal 2002, other than those described above, total $18,473. These services were provided for tax return preparation and other tax compliance services.

Any Director may, before, at, or after a meeting of the Board of Directors, waive notice thereof. Any Director who attends a meeting shall be deemed to have waived notice of the meeting, unless such Director objects at the beginning of the meeting to the transaction of business because the meeting is not lawfully called and does not participate in the meeting. Unless otherwise provided by the Board of Directors, the provisions of this By-Law shall apply in all respects to the notice requirements of meetings of any committee established by the Board of Directors. BY-LAW 4.05 Meeting by Means of Telephone and Remote Communication.
