Calendar Girl Blog: Prince of Printing

Ron the Prince of Printing has been called to pick up the final version of the 2007 Breast of Canada Calendar. He'll be riding into Guelph on his white steed sometime this afternoon. Shortly there after, he'll ride back into town with the press proof, fresh off the line at Barney Printing. Barney Printing have been my printer since year two. Ron has been my prince aka print rep since the calendar started. When Ron moved his employment to Barney, I moved my business with him. The man makes this final stage of calendar production feel as smooth as silk. I feel incredibly lucky to have snagged such a reliable team member.

This version of the proofing process offers a more visual reality of the work unlike the photo copies we've been working with to date. It is also the one that has no return. Once I sign my name on the press proof, the hook is inserted into my shirt collar and the outcome becomes my responsibility.

No pressure here. Gulp.

Gareth did his usual top notch job in the design department including spotting a whopper of a spelling mistake....mammories instead of mammaries.....not good when you're in the boob biz.

I kept finding stupid grammar errors right up until I realized that I needed to stop looking if we were ever going to press. Sometimes you just have to claim that you're done.

Calendar Girl is happy to be at this stage in the game. In two weeks, the latest edition will be stuffed in her dining room and the big haul will begin. Twenty five hundred calendars will need to be shipped in the next six months. Calendar Girl handles every one of them.
