Foolscap the calendar press

A jobbing press for paper you print yourself

Foolscap — printable calendars

Set the month, the paper and the week start, then take the sheet away as a PDF that prints at exact size — or as an image, a spreadsheet, a document or a calendar file. Every sheet on this site is drawn in your browser and covers 2026, 2027 and 2028.

Everything happens on this page

The calendar above is not a picture of a calendar. It is drawn from the Gregorian rules by code running in your browser, which is why you can change the paper, turn the sheet, move the start of the week to Monday and watch it redraw. When you take a copy, the file is written on your own machine by the same code that drew what you are looking at. Nothing is uploaded, nothing is stored, and the preview cannot disagree with the download because they are the same drawing twice.

That also means there is no account, no email step and no waiting. The sheet is ready before you have finished deciding which paper you want.

What comes off the press

The PDF is the one most people want. It carries a real page box, so if your print dialogue is set to 100% rather than fit to page, an A4 sheet comes out of the printer at 210 by 297 millimetres and a Letter sheet at 8.5 by 11 inches. The PNG is a plain image for dropping into something else, and the SVG is the vector artwork if you want to edit it.

The spreadsheet puts the dates in real cells with a blank row under each week to write in. The document version lays the month out as a table. The calendar file marks the start of each month of the year for a phone or a desktop calendar.

What this press does not set

No holidays are marked on any sheet. Holiday dates differ by country and by year, and a calendar that quietly assumed one country’s list would be wrong for most of the people printing it. There are no school terms and no institution’s calendar either, for the same reason: this site does not have those dates and will not draw something that could be mistaken for them.

The years stop at 2028. The arithmetic would run further, but a calendar is a thing people plan on, and three years ahead is as far as most planning goes.
