Message: <blockquote data-quote="hark" data-source="post: 798600" data-attributes="member: 13196">Mine were printed by a printer another photographer suggested. I didn't use templates. Everything was set up in Photoshop. I chose the size I wanted and added .25" to the height as well as the width to allow for the bleed. I imported PDF calendars into Photoshop which allowed me to extract the calendar chart (rather than to make that from scratch). All the photos for one month were added as were the custom holidays and all other text. The other photographer explained how to set up the final file so it was print-ready. For example, the photo for March was on the top half of a page while the chart for November was on the bottom. Then when the calendars were saddled-stitched (stapled), everything was already in the correct order. Sometimes that meant having to flip an image or a chart upside down in the file.Since the calendars were done as a fund raiser for church, they were done as tax exempt. Pricing tends to be determined by the number of calendars printed. Every printer will have their own pricing. I tried to obtain pricing from a couple other printers but never received a call back. So no clue as to who to suggest. Mine were printed at 11x17 - so the size of two sheets of letter paper. I was able to choose the weight of the paper, too, and used a slightly heavier paper for the cover. I didn't want anything too thin. When thin paper is used, the corners tend to curl.</blockquote>
