I'm searching for Recommendations for Print Companies for printing Calendars and Weekly Planners. I envision the traditional style of one photo per page.

The quality needs to be good but not at art levels.... It's a calender /planner..... It will be marked up.

Pricing is important as these will be sold more to friends and neighbors and some given as gifts.

I expect the orders to be initially in lots of 10. If it takes off as I hope, the orders may increase.

A print company in the Baltimore/ DC/ lower PA region would be nice.

Thanks!!

I've used Walgreens and shutterfly. Walgreens is a little cheaper but the quality is good and if you have a local walgreens you can get them the same day.

For several years I've used PrintingCenterUSA to print fundraising calendars for my local SPCA and have always been happy with their work. Quality is good, pricing is competitive, quantities are available from 10 copies up, very helpful customer reps. I do my layouts in Affinity Publisher, but they accept various formats and also have their own free online layout program if you want to use that.

PrintingCenterUSA, Walgreens, and then VistaPrint, Shutterfly, Costco and Mpix.

Each seem to have their own Deals....

All of the responses referenced Calendars...

Has anyone printed 52 week day timers?

I love printed calendars as decorations. Before computers got calendars, I actually used them. But now I use the calendar on my Mac that's networked to my iPhone and my family's shared calendar. It's always with me, and up to date everywhere when changed anywhere.

I used Shutterfly for over 10 years but changed to Vistaprint this year and liked it much better. Big difference in user friendliness. One thing I would urge you to watch out for, though, is checking the histogram on your images before you send them to be printed. The light in the monitor can make your images appear much brighter on screen than how they appear when printed. Vistaprint prints your image as sent. Shutterfly buries an option to leave your images as sent, otherwise they "enhance" your digital information--which may or may not be to your advantage. Hope this helps with your research.
