The 2017 Mantidforum.net calendars are now available to purchase!
As mentioned I put the calendar on as many POD services (Print On Demand) as possible for everyone can use the service they prefer, get the calendar at the size wanted, or to simply be able to find a coupon deal easier.
I looked at many POD services, and tried out many services build tools too, but in the end there is three to choose from - the others had really bad reviews, were only for buying in bulk, or some other factor that made it impossible to link to the calendars I put together on their site (such as SnapFish only the author can purchase items).
From the three services there are a total of six calendars available for purchase. Nearly all of which required their own customized photos for the sizes, but all use the same member photos and month layout. Each service varies the printed month day fonts, sizes, and such so be sure to review the calendar before purchase (I am unable to change those).
Anyway here are the calendars available...
- Zazzle - The calendar is available as medium 8.5"x11" or large 11"x14.25", the size needs to be selected in the calendar options on the right side. Regular cost is $20.95 for medium, and $25.95 for a large calendar.

- Shutterfly - A interesting desk calendar that comes in at 5.5"x10.8". To view the calendar load the link and click the VIEW button, from there it can be reviewed and/or purchased. Notice it gives a "error" message so the buyer has to review each month before purchase - annoying to be sure, but thankfully is only on this calendar format. Regular cost is $19.99, but it has been on sale for $11.99 for the last few weeks even without a coupon.

The forum and I do not profit from the sale of these calendars. As some POD services however require more than 0% markup, if any funds are raised (very unlikely as a set minimum amount is required to be paid) those funds will be applied to another forum project - such as contest prizes.
I will add new posts as I get coupons and other promotion offers for everyone to save money.
Thanks to everyone who participated this year, and as mentioned everyone who submitted photos has at least one in the calendar itself!
