I'm doing calendars on legal size paper (8.5 x 14 inches) folded and stapled. Printing alone is going to cost me $19.50 Canadian per calendar (about $16 US).
I could print them at home on an Epson Stylus color 850, but in order to get reasonable quality on the inkjet I'd need to use glossy paper, which (at least where I've looked) costs a fortune in anything above letter size. Perhaps combining two kinds of print/paper like you have is the key.
I'll have to put more thought into this for next year...

Just wondering if others making calendars have an idea as to their production costs?
I've been doing calendars for the last several years.
I use calendar blanks from Photographers Edge @ around $5.50/each depending on volume. I then print 13 4"X6" prints on my Epson Stylus Photo @ around $0.25each.
So total cost, less ink costs are under $10/each. People really like the fact they are getting prints.
