Have you spent hours searching online for the perfect calendar, only to find that the calendar you like best is exclusively in printable format?
That's okay!
Buy the calendar you like best.
Printable calendars are easy to print and usually cost much less than manufactured calendars. Plus, they are so much "prettier".
In this tutorial, you will learn what paper is best to print your calendar on, how to print your calendar in the best quality and how you can get the most out of your calendar without printing it over and over.
So, let's get those calendars printed.
How to Use Printable Calendars
Completing your printable calendar file can be as simple as downloading the file and clicking print, if you want it to be. But if you spend just a few more minutes on the project, your calendar will look like it came straight off the printing presses of a professional publisher without the cost.
Choosing Your Paper
To make sure your printable calendar is durable, it is best to use cardstock or matte photo paper.
There are a variety of options available at your local office supply store.
I highly recommend you check out the recycled paper options. The quality is amazing and you are helping to save our beautiful planet!
Printing Your Calendar
Step One:
Download/Open the calendar file.
Step Two:
Click the printer icon at the top left of the page. Select Properties when the print box pops up on your screen.
Step Three:
Choose Best Print (wording may vary - simply choose the best option) when the printer properties box pops up.
Step Four:
Select your paper type from the options available. Click OK/Print to begin printing.
Step Five:
Use scissors or a paper-cutter to remove any excess paper from the edges of your calendar design.
That's it! Isn't your new calendar beautiful?
Get the Most Out of Your Printable Calendar
Put your printable calendar in a frame!
Framing your printed calendar gives you the ability to write on the glass with a dry-erase marker so you never ruin your calendar.
Use a large frame to give extra space at the bottom to write important dates, appointments, etc.
Using printable calendars is an easy to beautify your schedule and keep track of your life without spending a bunch of money, plus they are eco-friendly. The next time you come across a printable calendar that you love, don't hesitate. Buy it and beautify it yourself!
