Three Months to a Page

The setting

Several months, count set to three

Portrait

One column, three rows

Landscape

Three across, one row

The same control gives

Four, six or twelve

The same press, set to three

There is no separate three-month machine here. This is the several-months sheet with the count moved to three, and the one control will also give you four, laid out two by two; six, in two columns of three; or twelve, which always runs January to December whatever month you arrived from.

Each month is drawn as a miniature of the same grid, with the weekday headings reduced to single letters. The miniatures print their own days and nothing else — no greyed dates from the month before or after — which is what keeps three grids on one page readable.

All three panels are cut to the depth of a six-week month, and in 2026 only May and August actually run that deep when the week begins on Sunday. The alternative would be letting each panel shrink to fit, which would set three different sizes side by side on one page; a short month is given the spare depth and left with a quiet band along its bottom edge instead.

Two settings are withheld on this sheet: the ruled writing lines and the notes panel. Three grids to a page leaves no room in a day cell for either.

Printing it

A4 portrait gives each month a third of the height and the full width; turning the sheet gives each a third of the width and the full height, which makes wider grids with shallower rows. A3, at 297 × 420 mm, is the size to reach for if three months are going on a wall.

Print at 100% rather than fit to page. The PDF states which way round the paper is, and most drivers follow it.
