Default Calendar printing help!

Hi! Do you guys have some suggestions for places to print my calendars made from awesome templates I got here? Last year I got them at MPix.com (because they were the only place that would let me put in my own grids), but this year their software is different and I can't seem to put in my own grids. I've got 4 calendars planned as Christmas gifts, and I'd really love to do them professionally. I'm very bummed that I can't get MPix to work, because I love their quality. I'm hesitant to give up my custom grids though!
Any thoughts?

I think someone mentioned that you can bring them to your local Kinkos and get them printed and bound there.

I print mine myself and then bring them to the store to get bound, but I am tempted to see how they would turn out just printed by them as well.

Thank you! I really did search for the topic a few days ago, before I posted, but that thread didn't come up for some reason. Thank you so much! I probably look like a huge dork for even asking. LOL

I was just playing around in the software trying to decide if I am going to make a calendar for our house this year. I was able to get past the grid. Add an image, resize to fill, & then rearrange layers bringing it to the front.

HTH.

ETA: make sure when that you actually add an image & resize that one, if you resize the one that's already in the calendar it will go to the background.

Thank you so much!! I think that's close to what I had to do last year, but this year's software threw me off! I really love the quality and the SUPER FAST turnaround there!!

I agree, I use all 3 of their 'sister' services. LOVE them. Love that I can order by 11am my time & usually get a package by 4pm the next day!
