I just wanted to explain why there were problems with the calendar printing.
First, the issue was not CafePress' problem but mine. I didn't give Monty the proper specs for the pictures. when I saw the pages in the Gallery and just uploaded them and didn't pay any attention to the preview that CafePres provides. Then I just announced they were ready with out getting a "proof" of the calendar:slap: and ordered the ones for the prizes. Meanwhile, some ordered calendars.
Monty, responded as he always does, without protest on my screw up and re-did the compositing to specs. (I checked this time:lol
Then I uploaded them to CafePress. I paid very careful attention this time to the preview. The preview is rather small and doesn't really give an accurate depiction of what the page will look like whe printed. What I saw was some "potential" clipping of the descriptions where the binding is. CafePress doesnt give a spec on the effect of the binding, so I decided to be extra cautious and chose not to usae full bleed printing. What this means is the picture will not fill the page. There will be a 1/4" white border around each picture. This negates some of Monty's great work in re-compositing the pictures. Sorry Monty for the run around:slap: But I feel better safe than sorry
However as Monty said DO NOT order the calendars until either he or I have approved the actual printing. I should be getting them in, in a few days and if all is well, I will send replacements to those ordered previously.
Sorry:rbedface:
