How to create and print own calendar

  2021 is not far away. I'm creating  calendars to prepare for 2022. During the pandemic last year, around this season, I sent calendars to my friends. Because of the good response, I designed and printed hand made calendars by myself this year repeatedly, composed of my drawings. The selected POD companies are Target Photo and Optimal Print.

 Optimalprint company's template was more selective and systematic than the Target. However, the output quality of the print was better Target photos.

 ​For OptimalPrint companies, it is helpful to have the event selection as shown below. However, when selected, the printed state was not good.

After carefully checking factors such as price, shipping fee, quality, whether or not the template is used, and the functionality of the template, I suggest that you try it
