Default Calendar Printing

I'm think I'm wanting to pick up these calendar templates by Penny Springmann and make my first ever yearly calendar but my question is do you print the tops and bottoms yourself and bind them or do you have them printed and if so where would you recommend for printing? Thanks!

I had mine printed at http://www.overnightprints.com/calendars this year since you can do both tops and bottoms there. I'm still waiting to get them, but everything else I've had printed there has been excellent quality. The calendars are 40% off right now so $11.95 each.

I print mine at home and then bring them to office depot to get them bound. I like the control I have over the final product. I did ask at Kinkos/Fedex how much they would charge - $19 a calendar and the paper was very lightweight. Yeah...mine take a lot of ink, but wow not $19 a calendar!
I use Epson Double Sided Matte Paper for them and it is always a hit. I make 7 copies, so I do have to babysit them a bit.
But it is always a battle of price vs effort for them.

I always use shutterfly. I make them up and then put them in my cart and wait for the calendar sale. I like that I can put in the dates for each family that are important to them and I don't have to do this every year b/c it saves the information. I get them at half off when they are on sale and it makes it soo worth it. I love the paper they use to print and it's easy and quick. I get them back within a week.

I just picked mine up from Office Depot - I'm not sure how they charged them (I think like .29 a page and then a separate charge for binding)....I'm pretty sure they are color copies but they look really great. They were a little over $10 each, but I had a coupon for $10 off $50, so I got 5 calendars for $45. I'm sure they'd be better as printouts, but for the money, I can't beat it!

I did mine at viovio and the tops and bottoms look great! They run about $14 each including shipping.

I did mine at Mpix. $20 each, I've done them other places before and they've never been as nice or as quick. So I've been with Mpix for at least the last 3 years.
