I was a little disappointed with the quality of the printing on the full-page images. Some of them had faint streaks in the solid blue of the sky. But overall, it looked pretty good. I'm also a bit disappointed in the turnaround time for printing. Like you, I'm also experiencing 7 BUSINESS days of turnaround time. It's not a big deal if you know that it can be an issue. For example, I'm also doing monthly newsletters to help promote my business. Because of the sluggish turnaround time, I've had to get each month's issue ready for printing a full two weeks before publish date if I want to see a proof before I send to subscribers and still get it to them before the beginning of the month. I guess I'm so accustomed to immediate gratification that it's required a change of mindset. I can deal with it; just wish it were quicker. Thanks again for recommending the service. Overall, I'm quite happy with it. Rick: Glad you like the calendar. I was a little disappointed with the quality of the printing on the full-page images.

Looks fantastic! The calendar arrives in a clear plastic mailer with the address printed within the address space on the back page. Shipped from Palo Alto. My MagCloud orders have shipped from Oregon. I've been placing my orders in bulk but it is good to know the rough delivery time for a single copy order. Spent time over the T-day holiday getting up to speed with InDesign. Once I got over the initial interface hurdles I'm very pleased with InDesign. The PDF output in InDesign is perfect and it eliminates the PDF file gyrations needed with Photoshop layouts. Time well invested on learning InDesign. Best, Rick Maria,
