Printing a calendar I have been asked by some friends to create a 2007 calendar of some of my images. So far I've been able to get it to look the way I want in Photoshop, but I'm forseeing a problem. I envision it to be 9x12 with pages spiral bound. When opened, the top will have the image(s) I want and the bottom will have dates. Once that page is flipped over, same thing. The problem I forsee is printing on front and back of the paper. Does anyone have a solution? Thanks,

Hello David, I'm sorry but I do not have a solution on printing them yourself, but I have three calendars that I have published thru www.lulu.com, It is a very easy way of creating calendars and you can set your own price...the only thing I'm not to fond of is that you can not design the back...they have their lulu logo on it, but other than that the quality of the images are well worth it... take a look and see for your self.

I've been printing calendars like the ones you want to make for years. I experimented with many, many papers and finally contacted HP. They offered - 8.5X11 PhotoPaper - C1846A. I bought five or six packs [25 sheets per pack] the last time I ordered "direct." This paper has a glossy front side, matte back that takes the ink from my Canon i9900 [and S800, before it] nicely. I use Brunderbund's Calendar Creator 6.0 to ptoduce the monthly grids. This program's old, but I only need a basic grid because the important parts of the calendars I produce are the images. These have been pictures I shot with film in my Canon EOS 620 and EOS 3, and edited with Photoshop Elements. This year"s calendar will features images I shot using my Canon 30D. Of course, the source [camera used] of the picture won't matter. I estimated my cost using the S800 at about $22.00 per calendar, based on inexpensive spiral binding by Staples. That's in line with the price of xerographic calendars offered by supermarkets, etc. The product produce with the i9900 should be a little less. I haven't tried LULU, but my daughter-in-law has surprised my wife and I with Grandkids Calendars produced by Snapfish. Her cost - about $20.00. The difference, the images are significantly smaller than the nominal 8X10's in my calendars.

I have for several years used Shutterly and/or Kodak. The pictures are 8x10 and print beautifully and they usually have a sale going on. Hope that helps charlene
