Photo Forum / General Photo Topics / Australian Photography / December 2004Calendar Printing service
I was looking at getting a calendar of my favourite pictures made up for my family & friends (say 10 or so copies). Has anyone done this and can recommend who to use, and exactly whats involved? I was thinking something along the lines of A4 sized with the photo on each page taking up half that... any suggestions welcome! Sean Technology Australia Pty Ltd (my company) at Cleveland Queensland do that. We make wire bound calendars for several region of Queensland and individual ones for walk-in clients. E-mail me a real (as in not hotmail) address and I'll send you details. Doug > I was looking at getting a calendar of my favourite pictures made up for my > family & friends (say 10 or so copies).

Same with office works, though I wasn't too happy with the quality. Personally, I'm still looking for blank calendars to attach photos (not print-outs) to. Very hard to come by, I could print the pages myself but then I won't have the binding..... barb >> I was looking at getting a calendar of my favourite pictures made up >> for [quoted text clipped - 15 lines] > > barb Clamp the printed sheets together with two bits of 2x1 timber, covered in cling film, letting about 1 to 2mm protrude out the top. Run a bead of white PVA glue along the edge of the prints. Let it dry, unclamp, punch a hole about 8mm down from the top, dead center left/right to hang the calendar on a nail, and you're done. The expired month's pages peel off quite well. Try it, you may just like it! Just printed some for XMA$$ presents, from our narrowboating holiday in UK.

OP (and I) can then do it on our own computer and printer at home! Any pointers welcome.

Maybe here http://www.timeanddate.com/calendar/index.html?year=2005&country=29 might be better. You can customize the holidays. It too is rudimentry but less so than Canon's! I eventually made the pages I use by hand with a vector drawing program. It's the only way to get exactly what you want. My opinion is the lines on these free calendars are not fine enough and start to look very "primary schoolish". http://search.pbase.com/search?q=calendar&b=Search+Photos&c=sp and you'll find about 600 calendar designs you can download for free too. The part that will slow down making 12 page calendars at home is the wire binding. Even if you do find someone who will do it for you, they probably can't punch the centre for the hanger so you'll be limited in how you can display them. If you do it at home on an Inkjet. Be sure to use Archival matt paper. This has the best chance of lasting the full year without fading. If you can, get the cover and a blank back page laminated too. This will help keep it stiff and go a long way to stopping the pages curling up when it rains.

As far as I have been told, he specialises in 'short print runs' and I know he does callenders, and I'm pretty sure he has a template you can use for callanders, but I'm a little unsure about details. Might be worth investigating anyway. Cheers, Phil Windsor. > I was looking at getting a calendar of my favourite pictures made up for my > family & friends (say 10 or so copies).
