How it's Made: 2026 VW Calendar

When my annual VW calendar was first conceived, back in 2009, my only experience with large scale printing was a short tenure at a prepress company, editing black and white photos and preflighting text book files. Luckily, via VWVortex, the universe assigned me a printing shepherd who was also a Mk3 fanatic, and I quickly got up to speed.

After over a dozen calendars, 4 mini coffee table books and overseeing and laying out countless print projects for former employers in the automotive space, I finally feel pretty confident in how it all works and FINALLY found a shop in California that I could visit firsthand to capture the process in-person!
