Putting Calendars Together
Discussion
Mrs Beano's been nagging me to get some calendars together.
(I said the result would be full of holes, but she just pointed out that's some thing different for straining your veg.)
Apparently it's that Pagan festival soon where you all have to be nice to somebody's relatives for 24 hours.
Anyway, what's the best calendar solution?
I haven't done one since about 19-blah-blah when you used to go down the craft shop and get the little printed book and stick it on a bit of ribbon - things seem to have come on a bit since then....

Do you have your own printer etc?

Sorry - can't concur on photobox. Done an A4 calender for this year and their quality is awful. It looks like its been printed on a laserjet. Asked them to redo it which they did and exactly the same happened.
Annoying as their individual A4 prints of the same shots are sensational.

I've recently been trying to get an A3 calendar done by photobox for a christmas gift. First one came back with vertical banding over half of the pictures (mainly on sections of the picture showing the sky - grey especially). Complained and they sent another re-print which was worse.
I therefore cannot recommend calendars from photobox at all.
Should I try again or ask for my money back?
I agree with the previous comment that they look like they've been printer on a laserjet.

Also a bit of a thumbs down re photobox calendar - was going to get a few dozen done, tried one first, not good enough quality. Certainly not as good as I can do here with Microsoft Publisher and Epson paper.
..It's just a pain waiting hours for them all to print out then binding them.

What's your method?Have just desingned a calendar as Bee-Jay said. I will try to post a couple of pics here. Not done it for a long time so have forgotten how to do it (isn't it always the way), so have put it up at our web site as a higher res image. Go to www.matabooboo.com and use pistonheads as the password. It was created in photoshop. I can send the templates if anyone is interested. You just have to put the months in and hide the layers if there are 30 or 28 days in the month.
Some Staples stores do the wire binding for just over a pound. Don't go to High Wycombe or Slough though as their machine has broken with no date for fixing it.
