Actually, Nexusfont displays all my fonts in two groups. Installed via Windows and Other Fonts, which I've added myself.

No, you're right, it's Sunday.

I always use guides. The background is treated to Luminesence.

I corrected the December page and created a Back Page for my calendar. Just sent them to Staples to be printed; ready tomorrow. Here's my Back Page...

Welcome to December. Here is the December calendar featuring the Amur Leopard this time. Enjoy. I even used a little Out of Bounds on this one. I have posted a full size version on Facebook that will print 11"x8.5" I feature mine on my desktop. The leopard information is from the Beardsley Zoo in Connecticut, where they have successfully bred some new members of this endangered species. Edit: forgot to name the Amur Jaguar font - Sedalia and the journaling is Arial Narrow.

@Cassel ok, I got it and corrected my files. Now to figure out how to get Staples to print one page for me. Luckily, it's at the end so it won't make a big difference. I may just throw it in the package and explain to the kids that it's just for December and can wait until the rest of the year is finished.
-
@Cassel Nov/Dec were on Day 6 but the file still has Sat as Dec 1. Did you put it somewhere else?

Hoping your local Staples is close-by. That was a big plus for me, and I found the price to be reasonable, especially since they had to ditch the first print run because of MY error. Nice people here - is Staples a Canadian company? 😉

Well, it was a bit of a saga, but I was happy in the end. I started Saturday placing an order online for my 13 page calendar with coil binding at the top on high gloss paper. After sending the files through, on Sunday, I think it was Susan who mentioned having to lighten them up, and I smacked my forehead and said: Self! Of course, they have to be lightened! I always lighten a print job at home but forgot for Staples! So I called and after a long wait found it was already printed and yes, it was too dark. So, consulting with the nice customer service, my order was cancelled, and I was advised to adjust the files myself and place a totally new order. No charge! So, I did that on Sunday, and it said it would be ready to pick up (only 10 minutes away) Monday at 8:30pm. Instead, I waited until Tuesday noon and went to the store. It wasn't even printed yet! While I waited it was printed and came out all askew, upside down and backwards. 😜 So, they did it again and got it right this time. I'm really pleased with the color quality. I had them add a coil binding at the top so each page could be totally flipped. Total cost was $22 and change. They are really rushed off their feet but very kind. 😊

I just got my print job back from Staples. The camera flash left a bit of a glare. This is my completed calendar from the workshop which is a gift for granddaughter Jackie and her husband, Corey. I'm also including a copy of the book The No 1 Ladies Detective Agency by Alexander McCall Smith as a companion to the calendar as it inspired me in my research about Botswana. Jackie is a zookeeper and animals from all over the world are her passion. (The apple didn't fall far from the tree; just skipped a generation! 😉 )

I'm just back from picking up my Calendar print job from Staples. I'm very pleased with it. The reproduction is outstanding and the price was under $25.00.It is for Jackie and Corey for Christmas and I'm going to add a paperback copy of the No. 1 Ladies Detective Agency book by Alexander McCall Smith as that is how I got hooked on Botswana. Here's a photo of the calendar hanging on my wall.

I use MS One Note, which comes with the MS Office package.

Wonderful album, Mary. This was a labor of love! ❤️ Will you get it printed? I found my local Staples office supply store will print my 13-page calendar for under $25. I pick it up tomorrow! I'll report back on the quality. They tried on Sunday, but it was too dark, and I rejected it. Luckily, I had withheld payment until I was satisfied.
-
My own choice would be the first version. Nice job, Julian.
-
I understand the manufacturers add a lubricant that is patented so it can't be used by the generic companies. That prevents the clogging.
-
No, Mary, I said that, not Rene. And I am happy with the controls in PSP.
-
My Epson is just a personal size. I think the largest would be 8.5x14. I use the print option in PSP which seems to work well. I always struggle with the print being too dark, which I can adjust, so I'm pleased with the quality. It's binding my work into a calendar this time that has me looking to outsource. I've never had a clog.

Have found Epson printers to be very reliable if I stick to Epsom ink. My tech told me the generic inks are missing an ingredient to keep everything smooth. I always print my monthly Wild Cat calendars just for my own refrigerator. I do want better quality for this Christmas gift.

Finished up December, so I can now work out the print job. Thanks to everyone for their wonderful advice! I'm also posting a separate image with the text which is long and small on the original and unreadable in this reduced version.
-
I'll look into that, Rene. Thank you!
-
They're not on Facebook yet. I might not because Jackie is on my Friends list and I don't want her to see them prematurely. I can send them to you on Messenger, if that would help. Have you ever had any of your work printed?

I need advice! For the first time (this is my 3rd calendar class) I need to get it printed as a Christmas gift. I always see calendars that open up from the center and can be pinned to the wall. And they are bound in the center. I have two now, one is stitched and the other has wire coil. This class has produced 13 pages @ 8 inches x 10.5 inches. So what do I do now and where is a good place to get it printed. It's for my granddaughter, Jackie, who lives nearby. I only have one more page to finish, for December. Here are July thru November finished.
