Getting calendars made, who's good?
Discussion
I use Photobox for more general items and their service has been good.
However, I produce a few A3 calendars each year. But what I require is the calendar to be in landscape with the image as big as possible on the page with just the dates along the bottom. This doesn't appear in Photobox's list of options.
After a bit of internet searching, and I have used them for the last three years - is www.pixum.co.uk. Quality and delivery is very good, mind you they are not at photo box prices.

Used Yophoto last year - interface took a little getting used to, and the range of adjustment is different to Photobox (better in some ways), but...
- The quality of the finished article was much better
- They'd got some nice options, in particular border effects
Oh, and customer service was pretty good - interface only lets you do 1 at a time, and thus charges you multiple postage. E-mailed them about this, they said just send them the order references and they'll manually match and refund...they were as good as their word.
Tempted to use them again this year.

I've been using a printer (the ones who print leaflets, booklets, etc etc, as opposed to photo labs) for my calendars, and the quality is excellent. I'm not saying Photobox ones are bad but these are proper retail quality print at much less cost (although you obviously need to order more than a few!). I guess the minimum that you need to order depends on the printer but it would probably cost you less than photo labs.
