As with many tasks, a large project can be more manageable when broken down into a few smaller projects. This is especially true for printing a double-sided 12-month calendar with high resolution full colour photos and graphics that fill the page.
If you create one large calendar project, (12 pages of high res images + 12 calendar pages will generate a HUGE file) you run the risk of losing everything if your file gets corrupted during the lengthy save process...
... or your printer may not be able to handle the very large print file generated. If your printer has consistently handled print jobs in excess of 50 MB, then this is not a concern for you.
Let's get started! It's very helpful to have an old calendar in front of you so you can see how the picture is printed upside down on the back of a calendar grid. We will be printing with the single-sided option only. No need to run the double-sided wizard.
Open a new calendar project, wide orientation, NO picture, 12 months. Add whatever special info you want in the date cells. Print. As the calendar prints, note how it comes out of the printer. For this exercise, let's say that the TOP of the calendar comes out on the printer's left side.
Now you are ready to print pictures on the backsides.
Open a new blank page project, wide orientation. Add your December graphic(s). Name and save this project as "DecPics". Put the November calendar into your printer with the BOTTOM of the calendar grid against the left side of the printer and with the blank side facing the ink spray. Print!
Repeat for November graphics onto October calendar, October graphics onto September calendar, and so on.
For those of you whose calendar grids printed with the tops against the right side, then you have to reinsert those pages with the calendar grid bottoms against the right side.
