Would like to make a calendar need recommendations on what site you have used to print them?
Is it easier to take your pics to ‘kinko’ or the like and have then make calendars out of them?
Looking for limited quantities, such as 100 qty.

Thanks for any inputs.

I've used http://www.lulu.com (external link) for 6-7 years now, producing 2 calendars a year and been very happy with both the quality and the turn-around. Their US's pretty good too.

I've been satisfied with Mpix. Print quality is very good and the overall construction of the calendar is sturdy.

I paid about 20 bucks for mine, but most likely they offer bulk pricing.

I like shutterfly too but they have set templates. I've made puzzles with my own designed collage and used it as one picture. Everything look good on my monitor when I ordered but when I got it the boarders of it were not the same. It cut my logo (bottom right corner) in half when I did leave plenty of room for it. Just an FYI.

Another vote for Lulu.com - professional and easy to work with.

Since it's getting close to the new year, I decided to bump this thread.
My 2017 calendar was made by Mixbook. It's a 11x14" center fold wall mount calendar. The print quality and over all construction is excellent. The instructions on Mixbook's site are easy to follow, and they offer a good selection of calendar options.
Previously I recommended another calendar maker, but I like the print quality of Mixbook a little better.
