5 Tips For Custom Calendar Printing

Nowadays printing technology has progressed so far that you can have your own business wall calendars with your own pictures. Do you have a product line that you want to display all year on your customer’s wall? Do you have a fleet of tow trucks, boats, taxis, or a group of buildings? You can now use today’s digital cameras or smart phones to capture the images for a wall calendar. Here are 5 tips to help you and a printing company make the best calendar you have ever seen. Custom Calendar Printing is finally here.

Custom Calendar Printing of Employees

Furnish hi resolution images. Your beautiful full color pictures will look professional on your wall calendar if they are at least 300 dpi. So for a picture that is 10 inches by 10 inches, you need 3,000 pixels by 3,000 pixels. When you multiply that out, you get 9 million, or 9 megapixels.
Pick the best background for your picture. If you have a fleet of trucks, and want a different truck on each page of your calendar, be wary of the background. Do you want a background with a telephone pole and electric lines, a stop sign, a dog scratching his fleas?
Lighting. The best lighting will give make the colors stand out. Too bright light will make deep shadows. Too dark lighting will look too dark.
Washing and grooming. If you don’t have time to groom and wash, you will be sorry every time you look at your calendar picture.
Balance. A great picture will have the subject in the center, or moving to the center.

5 Secrets of Maglite Flashlights

Maglite-Saves-The-Night — Maglite®-Saves-The-Night

Maglites are the best USA-Made flashlight. They are built tough, and will last a lifetime. But, here are 5 secrets you probably didn’t know about Maglite Flashlights.

LED (the bulb on an LED Maglite, or any LED flashlight) doesn’t last forever. It doesn’t burn out. It just gets dimmer and dimmer with age. Don’t worry. Depending on your usage, it should remain very bright till a time between 50 years and 2,000 years from now.
Maglites® are designed to be highly water resistant. However, they are not advertised to be waterproof.
Maglites® are not tested to be explosion-proof or intrinsically safe. Some workers who use a flashlight in highly volatile environments need that type of flashlight.
There are flashlights made for that purpose.
Old and weak alkaline batteries can damage your Maglite® just as they can damage any other flashlight. Maglites® are built tough, but guarding against a leaky battery is above and beyond the call of duty. Many battery manufacturers have a repair/replacement policy if your flashlight is damaged by one of their leaky batteries.
The ANSI standard of rating the power of flashlights was started only in 2009. Mag Instrument has agreed to abide by the ANSI standard, and rates its flashlights so you can compare one with another. ANSI stands for American National Standards Institute. The parameters used are:
Maglite®-At-Night

Beam Distance in Meters
Peak Beam Intensity in Candela
Run Time in Hours/Minutes
Light Output in Lumens

Pipe Diameter Tape
Pi Tape
