was thinking about giving them away FREE to the local shops/business's to put on there walls for 2013....sort of free advertising for me....(less the cost of materials ect )

and NO....not the ones in the pic with the cats on them lol.....with my own logo and business description/pics ect

just another query into the land of sublimation folks

ah.....calander binders....could remember the dam name for them lol......and answered my own post.Just need to find out the type of card/paper used and we are cooking...sort of lol

You`ll also need a Thumb Punch

Talk to your local printing shop. Most of them got it and will be able to help you .

I'd prefer one with the kitties on rather than your logo and details!

done some calanders a few years ago all photos of places of intrest in our village, used A3+ paper from epson cant remember the name of it but it was £1 a sheet
got the binders from staples
turned out very expensive

Why not make a year to view calendar and sublimate it onto either a mug, mousemat or aluminium sheet with your details - bet it would be cheaper to make and would showcase what you could do - might even then get orders next year for a 2014 mug,mousemat or aluminium sheet :biggrin:

i,m leaning towards the one piece bit of card with the 12mth calander and details on it....work in a lot cheapers me thinks

I have a wire binding system, complete with the thumbhole punch and the D wire insert. It has a heap of wire binds of various sizes. £100 ?

I used to do calendars. I have a calendar punch/binder which punches the holes and the thumb slot in the middle at the same time. Works best for A3 calendars. I used to put thick card at the back and a transparent cover over the front. They looked quite good. The only trouble was finding decent enough paper (if using an inkjet printer, regular paper gets saturated by ink and one-sided photo paper doesn't look right).

I still have lots of parts here for it, but I haven't made any calendars for years. Maybe it's time I did some again? :biggrin:
