The best way to create a calendar with your own photographs

There are three different ways to make your own photo calendar. If you have many photo prints which you prefer to stick onto paper and if you want to add hand drawn images, an old style pre-printed calendar template will still be useful. More versatile and interesting is making photographic calendars through software, and the result looks most professional when printed by a proper photo service. For this you normally have to use the software which the (online) photolab provides (usually) for free at http://fotoinsight.co.uk/calendar

FotoInsight offers wall and desktop calendars. All calendars are printed professionally on 250 gr/m2 paper using Indigo technology (except the Desktop calendar in tin box which is processed on photographic paper) and cost between £4.99 and £16.99 per calendar plus £2.80 delivery (Europa wide, also with seperate delivery address).

Printing-1 is the independent option for photo book calendars for Mac OS and Windows PC users, but no wall calendars. Printing-1 websites includes a kind of photo sharing service, which allows to show the layout to others online prior to a print order: http://www.printing-1.co.uk - Discount: First order £5 off.

Specialist developer ECCE TERRAM is showing at this year’s PMA how setting up a digital photo processing service in store or online is becoming easier with open software modules. ECCE TERRAM is also celebrating a new mile stone with 132 million photo prints being ordered through its middleware software components. These solutions help to improve photo services' independence and negotiation power and provide access to a range of components to cover varying requirements.

Oldenburg Germany and Las Vegas, NV. January 22nd, 2008 – Online photo services converting digital images into traditional photographic paper prints are reaching the volumes of traditional photo labs in the 1990’s. Digital photo processing is a growth industry, but only a few developers have the experience and depth to create complete 'end user to photo lab' software solutions. The specialist Internet software developer ECCE TERRAM will be presenting the latest 'off the shelf', modular software solutions for online photo services, web portals, photo labs and purchasing associations at the international PMA exhibition in Las Vegas in January 2008, including client software and middleware releases currently in preparation.
 
Photo Lab Software Solutions
Together the Photo Lab Software processing components build flexible, state-of-the-art solutions. These range from order processing using online stores, point-of-sale terminals and offline software clients for Windows, Macintosh and Linux using an open protocol connecting to any photo lab or printer. The PTS middleware processes the orders using a central user database, which allows splitting orders to cover production requirements (e.g. mixed orders for standard prints, posters and gift items). Lab plug-ins built the third layer in ECCE TERRAM’s ‘Photo2Lab’ solution. The lab plug-ins currently support for example DPL, Allcop, ORWO, CeWeColor, DWM and Frontline. Increasingly specialists from the growing sector of photo book, calendar and gift item printing, like Ifuse, Snapmania are being supported by ECCE TERRAM.

The project, Ethanol & Orphans, is looking for celebrities who think it is a good idea and who will endorse the project.  The project sponsor is the not-for-profit charity, Our Family Orphan Communities, Inc. 

The Ethanol & Orphans project is currently underway in Vietnam where we will be building a cellulose ethanol refinery and using the profits to build:
 - a Self-sustaining, high-tech, green Community for street orphans where they will be raised in families with surrogate parents and grandparents, given care, skills (job, computer, familiy/life) and supplemental education.
 - a Medical clinic supported by the profits from the refinery so those who cannot afford it can still receive treatment.
 - more care for disabled children (who are still today being born with birth defects from Agent Orange which was used in the war in the 60's and 70's) so they can learn to be self-sufficient even with disabilities.

We are looking for people who care about:
 - improving the environment
 - using less petrochemical fuels
 - helping developing / third world countries to improve
 - street children living barely surviving
 - disabled children who need assistance
 - providing medical/dental care for those who cannot afford it
 - protecting food sources (we will use sugarcane for the refiery, NOT grains)
 - providing education for children, the future leaders of their country
 - and more humanitarian projects

The celebrities will be asked to speak about our project when they can, and to allow us to use thier comments/picture/name in our website and promotion materials.

For complete details about the project, see: http://www.orphancommunities.org
For questions, write to us at: info@orphancommunities.org
 
Please forward this to others who you know will be interested in supporting this project.

The online photo printing service, founded in 2003 offers its customers a £5 discount on its A4 and new XL photo books.

Cambridge, GB. 26 Nov 2007. – During the first four years thousands of digital camera users have had photo calendars printed with FotoInsight. With the popularity of its photo book service, launched in 2005, the online service started to grow rapidly, so that the company is now operating Europe wide. To celebrate it’s success in its fifth year, FotoInsight is giving away £5 discount vouchers on its large (12”x8”) and XL format photo books (12”x12”).

FotoInsight’s Managing Director Klaas Brumann comments: "We think that your large and XL photo books are the most impressive coffee table photo books from own digital images in the UK. FotoInsight is preparing to accept photo book orders for delivery within the UK in time for Christmas up to the 10th of December. For Soft- and Linen Cover photo books FotoInsight states that it will deliver in time for Christmas if ordered by the 12th of December."

Photo books are a personal present, preserving memories for friends, family and one self. Popular for photographs of memorable events like holidays, a party or wedding photo album, an XL or A4 photo book from FotoInsight will keep the images accessible and preserve colourful memories. In a photo book colours still shine when a SIM-card or CD has long oxidized or become incompatible. Dr. Rolf Hollander, CEO of FotoInsight’s production partner and largest photo finisher in Europe: "Quality is our priority. All materials we use are subject to extensive testing and are guaranteed by their manufacturers to last at least 100 years. This guarantee extends to photo printing on real photographic paper as well as to the photo book."

Cambridge. 26 Nov 2007. --"Have you ever stopped to wonder how much recruitment fees are costing your organisation?" asks IBEX's founder David Wood and continues: "For larger corporates this can be hundreds of thousands of pounds; and for the SME marketplace several thousands of pounds per year!"  Whichever way you look at it, recruitment fees are generally a lot of money and impact heavily on the bottom line!

IBEX Resources Limited believe they have the solution!  The idea of a true “value for money” proposition first came to IBEX’s founder, David Wood, a few months back.  “We looked at different ways of providing the ultimate solution for companies who recruit.  After looking at various methodologies, we have settled on what we have called IBEX Logic.”

IBEX Logic is an innovative recruitment process.  The client’s vacancy is discussed at length with an IBEX Consultant, so that he or she has a thorough understanding of the requirements.  That vacancy is then worked on by IBEX for 2 weeks (14 days).  During that 2 week period, a shortlist of candidates is provided to the client for them to make direct contact with the candidates.  David Wood added: "In general, candidates prefer to speak directly to the potential employer, and not go through the recruitment agent. And we believe that the client also prefers this direct approach!"

Les avancées technologiques en matière de résolution d'images numériques permettent à présent une impression en très grand format poster

Paris le 7 novembre 2007. - Le prix d'une cartouche d'encre est probablement avec l'envolée des prix de l'essence ce qui agace le plus le consommateur lambda. Le pas est vite franchi pour que le coût du renouvellement des consommables devienne supérieur au prix initial de l'imprimante. Grand format et haute résolution sont les dénominateurs communs pour vider une cartouche d'encre en un rien de temps dans le cas éventuel ou l'imprimante pourrait imprimer en grand format. Affranchir l'utilisateur d'appareils photo numériques des contraintes de l'impression jet d'encre en grand format est l'un des services professionnels proposés par des laboratoires photo en ligne tels que http://poster.fotoinsight.eu

L'exposition à la lumière, à la chaleur, à l'ozone et à la pollution de l'air entraînent une perte d'éclat des impressions effectuées sur des imprimantes grand public. Une étude récente conduite par la société Wilhelm Imaging Research a conclu que les cartouches recyclées réutilisables produisent fréquemment des photos dont les couleurs se ternissent sensiblement après juste quelques mois. Faire appel à des labos photos professionnels à l'instar de la société FotoInsight qui utilisent du vrai papier photo sur des machines professionnelles grand format permet d'obtenir et de conserver des photos aux couleurs qui semblent beaucoup plus riches et éclatantes que lorsque l'utilisateur manipule lui-même le papier photo avec des doigts qui peuvent parfois transpirer dans des environnements plus ou moins humides.
