Didnt see the photo competition post -b ut then I only skim the list... as to the calendars a couple of years ago I made calendars on my 820 Epson having designed all the stuff myself in photoshop and publisher - they looked great but cost me about $15 and a lot of time for each one... always had to keep an eye on the printing. Someone told me about cafepress.com - You can upload the images and then order them from your own "store" for their base price which is the same price as I was making the calendars for, essentially. The paper is glossy and the color photos look excellent but I would have designed the calendar part more prettily. They are very good about refunds and do overs if you are displeased - I know that because they printed my Sign Language Black and white calendar over 3 times for me - apparently it is tought to get black and white stuff printed right with what is basically a color printer. probably a bit late for you for this year - but it is a time saver and the actual images look great. They also have a format for one of those one picture calendars but I haven't seen the results of those as I prefer variety. good luck with it - (and, hey, if you go the cafepress root say I referred you and I get a small (very) commission for sending someone their way - my shop id is "annsanstuff" ann
