Every year I assemble 12 photos of my grandchildren and have a calendar made for their parents. And they have been "ok", I give a CD with the images to the folks at Staples who try very hard to get it right. But the reproduction is usually flat and often the center hole that they punch at the top ( so it can be hung) is a bit off center which drives me crazy. So the question is, does anyone use a print service where they are happy with the quality and the price?
Many thanks in advance!
I use Nations Photo Lab. I have ordered books and prints all for reasonable prices.
Walgreens does a very good job.
Picaboo, very high quality professional product. I usually catch a half price sale at this time of the year.
If you have a Mac computer, it comes with iPhoto in which calendars and books can be generated. As you control the layout, (and it is easily accomplished,) the outcome is what you make it.
I have used snapfish.com for several years, and been pretty happy with the results. And I think they are running a great special at the moment.

Make sure your monitor is calibrated before you send your images out for print. Otherwise it won't make a difference who prints them.

I've always had good luck with Costco-good quality at a reasonable price

Vista Print, choose the heavier paper. Very reasonable.
I use Shutterfly and have never had a problem........

Finalimage....I've used an on-line company, Vistaprint and the quality and fabrication of the finished calander was amazing. The photos looked as good on the calander as they did on my screen.
I use Lulu.com. They really do make quality calendars. The only thing I have to do extra is make a back page. I sell my calendars each year and everyone likes the quality of them.
Nine options provided so farÂ… hope these are helpful for you.
Thanks to everyone for their calendar suggestions!
