About Custom Calendar Printing
Where's the best place to get custom calendar printing?
Well... there's a whole bunch of options out there - everything from CafePress customized calendars to online printers that drop their prices the more calendars you print (and often come with minimum orders).
So, a lot depends on how many calendars YOU need.
If you just want to do a 'one-off' customized calendar, drop in your groovy photo of your trek to outback Australia, and print up a whopping 11" x 17" one page wall calendar then this CafePress page 
will take care of that.
When it comes to custom calendar printing, CafePress make it pretty simple to create a calendar fast, and they'll post it to your door too, if you fork over the small postage and package costs.
What Size Do You Want?
A lot also depends on the size you want your custom calendars to be.
Some people like the custom desk calendar style, which is like a mini sized calendar that fits neatly on your desktop. These cost anywhere from $6 and drop down to a mere $1.30 when you start printing in numbers of 10,000 and upwards.
For more professional custom calendars you can try something like PrintPlace.com (Click through to the 'calendar printing' section of their site).
They have a calendar pricing calculator that you can use to gauge how much your calendar printing might cost. This is a very thorough way to get the specifics about custom calendar printing.
What Questions To Ask?
Things like whether or not to use UV coating for your finished calendar, should you use saddle stitching or uncoated paper (or gloss), for example.
If you're planning to spend big and create a calendar that promotes your business or company then it pays to know the smaller details before you go ahead. PrintPlace will send you an electric proof of your calendar if you request it, and they'll also send out a sample pack of paper coatings...
Just so you can get a feel of your calendar stock before going ahead!
A few options to mull over...Another thing to consider when printing custom calendars is that using a unique calendar template can often be quicker and easier. VistaPrint.com offers the use of templates - and it's great because you just need to drop your photo in and you're good to go.
They also offer free stock images to use with your calendars, and let you create a good looking spiral bound (at the top) and self standing calendar in full color and on high quality glossy stock paper.
VistaPrint seem to have the digital, print-on-demand thing sorted with an easy automation process.
You'll have a field day with their range of calendar magnets, poster calendars, wallet calendars and other cool printing calendar choices!
Related Custom Calendar Printing Resources
Another option, if you're interested in custom calendar printing with photos is Snapfish
You'll see a calendar collage poster from Snapfish that I included on this page (top left) because it really stands out. (Plus it's a brilliant idea!) It's a 12 month poster calendar that you can add up to 30 of your own photos to, and is a great low cost gift idea.
The Snapfish calendars are more orientated towards customizing calendars with your own photos. They give you a lot of freedom to create calendars too... different sized wall calendars, 12 or 18 month calendars, different background designs, etc (See example above right).
PrintPlace is a good source for calendar printing and custom postcard printing too.
