You may give your calendar any title you choose, so it is up to you to put the year in your title. We recommend doing so, as it will help clarify for customers what type of calendar they are purchasing.

You may upload JPG or GIF files for interior calendar images. (You may also use PNG files for calendar covers only.) Image resolution should be at least 150dpi, but we recommend 300dpi for best print quality.

Premium
We recommend uploading premium calendar images at 13.75" x 10.25" to allow for trimming. (Premium calendar covers should be uploaded at 13.75" x 19.25".) The image area for premium calendars is 13.5" x 10.25". The coil binding will cover .375" at the top of this area. The top .375" of your image should be filled with the background image or color, but remain free of any text and/or images that should not be perforated by the coil. Your image will be centered on the page and resized proportionally, that is, by an equal percentage of height and width, until it fills as much of this area as possible.

Standard
We recommend uploading standard calendar images at 11.25" x 8.75" to allow for trimming. The image area for standard calendars is 11" x 8.5". The coil binding will cover .375" at the bottom of this area. The bottom .375" of your image should be filled with the background image or color, but remain free of any text and/or images that should not be perforated by the coil. Your image will be centered on the page and resized proportionally, that is, by an equal percentage of height and width, until it fills as much of this area as possible.

3. Click CREATE NEW to add a new author.
4. Enter the desired information and click SAVE.
5. Click Save & Continue to go on with the publishing process.

Converting your calendar shouldn't take more than a minute, although it might take awhile to download the press-ready PDF version. If your project is still in Draft status, check the combined size of your images. If they are larger than 200MB, the conversion may not work. Resize your images, upload them again and try again to publish your calendar.

If the conversion process seems hung, let us know by reporting your problem to the forums. Be sure to provide your calendar title, ID number and a complete, detailed description of the problem.

After you have entered calendar data and uploaded your images, you will be allowed to rearrange your calendar and add captions to your photos. Simply type the caption for each photo in its Caption field. The maximum length for captions is 1024 characters. Click the UPDATE button to save your captions before converting your calendar.

Colors are defined using hexadecimal (hex) values. If you know your hex values, you can enter them directly in the Font Color field. To help you select a color, the Font & Colors section contains a color palette which can be displayed by clicking on the color blocks next to the Font Color field. Click a color in the palette to select its corresponding hex value.
