I have a few questions, please try and follow me here.

first of all, how would i go about getting a calendar professionally printed, and sold, at like a store... and what not.

second of all, are there any places online that will allow me to make my own calendar (similar to something like cafepress) and print it professionally for me. only this one would not be sold more than likely... just for a personal calendar...


the reason why i ask this is becasue i have some really cool, and scenic shots, and i would like to make them into a calendar... and if possible, sell them, as i wish in option one.

thanks all

CopyMax at officemax can make calendars pretty much anyway you want them.

also check local printshops :)

but can you sell them... or do you need like a publisher to do that? i have no clue.. i just would like to know

Try a place called "Digi-Labs", located at http://www.digi-labs.net.
They are used as a back end for my users wanting to print their own calendars from photos posted on my web site.

I use a product called "Photo Post" as my bulletin boards photo gallery. I've heard good things about the calendars they (Digi-Labs) print.

They even said that I could upload a fixed number of photos for people to order copies of the calendar. They would provide me a link to my pre-packaged calendar. Very nice people!

Kinkos does them using any photos or graphics you supply.
You can also have them done at a lot of on-line photo developers.
Ezprints has a full line of merchandise and several types of Calendars.

EZprints will send you sample prints to match two samples you download and use to calibrate your screen to their machines.
They are the only service I've seen that do that and it makes for much better results.
You can also upload a group of photos to EZprints and have customers order the calendars themselves, at a price you set, so you can make some profit off it.
I believe ofoto also offers calendars.

Calendars aren't cheap to print except in extremely large quantities.

Right, But thats kinda the point. I want to be able to print a lot, and get them to local stores, and further if i can, such as hallmark and places like that and in the malls and stuff. This way my works would be for sale.


PS. Thanks for more information and links!
