It's Christmas time again! What a wonderful thing to be able to give your family gifts that are personalized to the imagination's extent (thanks to Photoshop). I have spent quite a bit of time with the design of this calendar. I would hate to skip a step that I didn't know or think about. So any additional imput will be appreciated. I do have one specific question, though...
Should I put some sort of protective coating over the pages? I would like for the "grid" boxes to be able to be written on with an inkpen if the recipient of the calendar chooses to do so, but I want the calendar to be as resistant and durable as a standard (free bank) calendar.
The reason I even thought about a protective coating was because as I was admiring one of the photos that I printed, I yawned. OH NO!!!! Little droplets of my saliva (haha - merry xmas) totally ruined the picture. Even without trying to wipe.
Tell me what I should do? And if anyone tells me that MY spit was the problem... lol j/k
Here's January's photo. I decided that anyone who is kind enough to lend some advise, should at least be able to see what I'm working with.
Oh yeah... Paper stock is fairly thick photo quality but without a gloss. Printing on an HP photosmart7150. I'm sure these things factor in.
THANKS! - BriC
