anyone recommend a good quality Calendar maker? Maybe something where you upload your shots for the months and you can get calendar prints? I'm not looking for way large quantities...maybe 20 or so.

I found a couple places on the web, but my only concern is not being able to see and feel the finished product and it's quality.

Try a sample from each on line company until you feel comfortable.
Or, go thru the Yellow pages and check out the local printers.

Yes, I made this one (http://www.lulu.com/content/1863469) and was quite happy with the quality.

You should order one and see if you like it :)

Thanks Dave! I think I'll do that. So, that is your calendar...do they let you sell it from their site as well? YOu get commissions?


I got 5 dogs...any tips for getting them all to take a shot together...still..lol.

Yeah, I get that a lot.:lol::lol::lol:

As I'm the wrong side of the pond, I couldn't point you to anyone specific, but trying a few suppliers for samples is still sound.:cool:

I use Vista Print for my desktop calendars btw.

Yes, that was what I wanted. Someone orders from Lulu, they print exactly one calendar on the spot and ship it to the customer. I get a couple bux from the deal. I didn't want to have to deal with buying a box of calendars, hoping they'd sell, finding a way to ship them, etc, etc. I have a link to it from my site, for advertising, but I don't do any taking of orders for it myself.

Now that's a much harder question than your calendar one. I think I'll pass :)
