You're best bet for a high quality calander would be to have someone design it in a program such as Adobe Illustrator CS5 that is vector based (not pixel based like Photoshop) and then take the PDF file to a printing shop to have them make as many copies as you wanted at whatever size. It might be a little more expensive, but you would be dealing with magazine quality graphics and paper. With Illustrator, you could design a calender and print a copy the size of your wallet, and take that same picture and blow it up to the size of a bus with zero pixelization. Its amazing to work with.

Oh, and for a little more spice, I would require all submissions have 1 or more (mostly) naked women on the truck. Thats just me though

i agree with the high quality print but for selling 11 copies thats a bit much. i think lulu is the way to go. 15-16 dollar range seems fair
