This is a 2025 calendar of images by Jean Cousins, who lives in South Portland, Maine.
About paper
We recommend coated card stock for the highest print quality on a non-rag paper. This is card stock that has been coated with a matte finish to optimize print quality from a wide format inkjet printer. The paper we use is 230 gsm, roughly equivalent to 80 pound cover.
For a more robust paper, with a slight loss of quality, and an economy of pricing, we have three sizes available in heavy card stock, 271 gsm, or 100 pound cover. This paper will NOT curl. Robert estimates the image print quality on this paper at about 90% of coated card stock.
For giclee quality printing of your calendar we offer heavy rag paper as an option from Hahnemuehle, their Photo Rag, at 308 gsm or about 120 pound cover. This paper has a velvety surface and yields a print with presence.
We hope this is helpful. ~Robert

About the calendar format
We have added wire binding at the top of our calendars as a standard feature at the same price as before. We hope you like this change. It gives us more confidence in our ability to minimize paper curl and allows a lighter paper for the calendar pages
The basic format remains unchanged. Single sheets printed on one side, a center hole punched at the top for hanging and now a wire binding added for stability.
We offer this calendar on coated card stock to optimize image quality.
Rag paper remains an option.
