2012 Calendar Printing
Creative Calendar Design
The vast majority of scientists have struck down the theory that the world will end in December of 2012, as (some claim) the ancient Mayans predicted. Now that you can be confident that our planet will survive, you can think about 2012 calendar printing with PrintFirm. We believe that consistent quality is just as important as giving discounts for quantity. Here are some design and printing tips that should help you achieve success with your 2012 (and 2013) calendar printing.
-
You can upload your own print-ready design to PrintFirm. We accept most design file formats such as PDF and TIF. If nobody in your organization is skilled at graphic design, you can whack the “custom design” button when you place your order. PrintFirm’s team of talented graphic artists will create a unique design. You retain the ability to upload proprietary graphics and text to our designers and they will incorporate those elements in the layout.
-
Use high resolution images for 2012 calendar printing. We recommend a minimum resolution of 300 DPI (dots per inch) for all uploaded images. Lower resolutions may appear as good quality on your computer screen, but the printed result will be a fuzzy mess. Avoid using images found online unless they are at least 300 DPI. To check the DPI of a graphic file, open it in a reputable graphic design program and view the file details.
-
Crowding the calendar design is not a good idea. The cover is especially important in this regard. Leave enough whitespace (area without design or with minimal design) so that the cover text is easily readable.
-
When you want different artwork for each month, it might be wise to include variety and avoid getting too repetitive with the images. Ideally, each month should have a distinctive look.
