Hi, again! I am on the hunt for a place that can print my 12x12 calendar for a moderately affordable price. I created my 2013 calendar in My Memories Digital Scrapbooking software under the assumption that I could send it directly to print from their software. When I went to upload my calendar for print, they disabled that option, so I contacted support and said they are currently disabling that feature. SO, I have a 25 page calendar INCLUDING grids ready to print, but have no idea where to go, and the one service that was recommended to me locally costs me 150.00 bucks. SO, does anybody know of a place where I can get this print and bound and back by Christmas?
Thank you!
can't wait to see any tips or suggested places people offer...
and locally $150... ohhhh.myyyy.word....
Ok, I will give it a try.
First you can put your photos on a disk, SD card, thumb drive, etc and take it to Walmart, Walgreens, Staples, and FedEx. They will print the pages and I Believe Staples and FedEx will bind them.
Online services are as follows. You do have to search through the menus.

Another options is to print them yourself. If you do not have a 12X12 printer, print as 10X10.
Using some of the options that paper crafters use you can get nice card stock 12X24 and create your own cover.
If this is something that you are going to on a regular basis you can get a binding machine, such as the Your Story, and there are others that will punch the holes and put the spine on. Nice because you can create your own flat books.
Or you can take it to Staples or another place that will bind it for you.
The problem I've found is that the majority of those places don't offer a customizable bottom grid, I've contacted Walgreens, Kinkos, and a local print press, and I have yet to find something under 150. I will check those links to see if you've found something different than I. I also contacted Persnickity Prints and they gave me a reference of mypictales.com, but haven't had a chance to check them out yet. Those at first glance, looks like they should be able to do it for a good price.
