Our Camaro Calendar

Sat Nov 28, 2009, 7:08 AM
We had quite a panic last week over this calendar! We had our calendar completed and ordered a sample before we did our bulk run. Tim wanted to know how we go about editing the calendar if we need to make changes that we might see on our sample so I started researching. Well upon doing that I found a lot of people that had serious issues with this company when they had their bulk order printed. People were getting calendars missing months, photos and worst was the quality. Washed out colors, lines and streaks through all their photos or some of them. Apparently most had a great sample but when the bulk ones came in they were horrendous and were printed in Spain not the US. Odd. They had no help from Customer service at all and most were out of money. I panicked and tried to find another place that could print out calendar. That became a problem as every single one did 24 months except on and the one that did 24 months was $10 more per calendar then the place we had. There was no way we could do that otherwise we'd be losing money. Ugghhh!! Luckily we were recommended a place by this photographer and thank goodness she did. They were able to fufill our order and their final product is 10000000x better then the old place. The other place didnt allow must customization..no printed on the back cover and no place other then within the photo to add our sponsors. We had to get sponsors because 3-4 weeks after we thought everything was a go we found out that we had to pay GM a licensing fee in order to print calendar. You'd think because these cars are privately owned and they are our photographs that you wouldnt need it but we found out otherwise.

Anyway I'm so glad we have this new company because it has a seperate area to put the sponsors or banners at the bottom of the month, areas in the month where you can put text and a back cover. Everything is 100% customizable. Whatever you want they can do. I'm so happy with the how it's going to look :D. They also send out a free sample and proof over everything before it goes to print. IF they catch anything they think might improve your work they will suggest it too. It's printed on 80lb paper which is great also :) They sent our sample to the printers yesterday and we should get that in 5 days. Once we approve that then it's 8 days till our 250 we're having made comes to us. It's cutting us closer then we wanted to Christmas though. We wanted to have them by next week but it cant be helped.
