I am not sure this is the right forum to put this in, so mods feel free to move it.:)

I am going to put together a calendar featuring some of my images. I really like a stand up desk-top calendar that I have seen. Very well done and classy. It is about 7 X 10 inches in size with a sheet that is heavier than the rest of the paper for the front cover. Although the whole thing is done in heavy weight paper--not flimsy.
I have looked around on line and have not see anything similar in the on-line printshops.
Do any of you know/have recommendations for a printer for something like this, before I head to my local printer to see what they can do for me.
This particular calendar that I saw was printed by Hemlock Printers in Canada.
Thanks!

Check out: www.photographersedge.com (http://www.photographersedge.com).

They're called 2008 Horizontal Calendars. Not sure
of the size, but they look like what you might be looking
for.

This product is being discontinued, so you can get them
for only $2.49. All you have to do is provide 13 4x6 photographs.

Hi Doug,
Thanks for that info! It looks like Vistaprint does have some styles that allow a photo for each month. Reasonably priced too. I might have to consider it.:)

The one that I found is very high end. It is taller and quite an elegant piece. I am sure it probably is way out of reach for me on my first venture. I will contact the printer next week and check that one out as well.

Bonnie,

I updated my original message. It looks like Vistaprint only allows for
one photo...thats why I edited my message and took it out. I replaced
it with another option.

Doug, the one I am looking at on Vista--lets you upload a photo for every month. Unless I am seeing it wrong? I am going to try and build one just to see what it looks like!

Its possible. There's so much stuff on there, its easy to miss something.

Just one little warning...even though I use these guys all the time, if you
order something, be prepared to get an email from them every morning.

LOL! Well--it would not be the worst email I have ever gotten.;)
Thanks again for your help!
