2009 Opera Calendar


I have just finished a 2009 calendar featuring opera composers: Puccini, Mozart, Berlioz, Bellini, Mascagni, Rossini, Bizet, Wagner, Handel, Offenbach, Verdi and Leoncavallo.
It is at cafepress.
I am going to try various POD suppliers to see the differences. I will report here my findings.
Cafepress do three formats for their 12 page calendar
  • Standard Wall Calendar (which I have used)
    page size 11" x 8.5" (11" x 17" when hung)
    100lb cover weight high gloss paper
    wire-o binding
    Jan - Dec 2009
    US holiday dates only
  • Oversize Wall Calendar
    as above except
    page size 17" x 11" (17" x 22" when hung)
  • Vertical Wall Calendar
    page size 11" x 17" (11" x 17" when hung)
    10pt heavyweight high gloss paper
    rest as above.

Which CALENDAR printer to use?
It's time to prepare and publish my 2008 calendars. Following the success of my 2007 calendar I have decided to try publishing some online. But which service to use? I have found three sites which I will certainly try out: cafepress, Zazzle and Lulu. I'll write here my experiences.
Today I have just published my Great Composers calendar on cafepress.
  • There are 4 styles: a single page calendar print and three spiral bound 12page wall calendars.
  • You have the option to set your own selling price which is good.
  • It is a US based service so postage is likely to be expensive for international orders.
  • Quick and easy to implement.
  • Affiliate program available
  • They take the order, print, ship, collect the money and pay you your markup.
You will find it on the front page of my cafepress store here:
