Better yet, the design I ultimately chose looked just as good in print as it did online. There are filters to allow you to find the perfect design quickly, like Botanicals and Humor, or you can design your own from scratch. In particular, I was pleased to see Snapfish’s lack of gimmicky themes, which seem to be run amok among the presets provided by similar services. Snapfish offers a number of attractive layouts that may be instantly applied to orders. You can also start on any month and customize your calendar with important dates, and notes, so you won’t forget special occasions! However, its lovely presentation was enough to make it a clear-cut favorite straight away. Some might consider that Minted’s hanging photo calendars come at a steep price, even their Minimalist Classic ones are expensive. While each template is designed by an artist, and there are lots to choose from, there just isn’t that much in the way of creative freedom. The downsides? If you want a themed, truly personal calendar, their templates might not satisfy you. I spent very little time making adjustments, as everything already looked amazing. It completely lacked the washed-out look that sometimes occurs when straying away from lusters and glosses.Ĭrafted by an actual designer, the typography and composition of my calendar was spot on from the start. Despite using matte paper, the tonality of my images was beautifully preserved. To my surprise, Minted did a better job of replicating my images than some of the “expert” print shops I’ve used in the past.
