Printing starts at the time of summer when an order is placed, and the printed and bound products are kept in stock until the end of the year. It is designed to be put on the market all at once.

When one page is used per month, 13 pages including the cover are used, and even when 1 page is used per two months, the total number of pages including the cover is 7 pages. For this reason, conventionally, after printing each page of the calendar, the booklet is bound through a collating process like a normal book.

Further, many calendars mainly print only common necessary items such as the days of January to December and pictures. Therefore, in order for the user not to forget his / her event, schedule, etc., the individual information must be entered individually with a writing instrument.

[0005]

However, the conventional calendar requires a lot of trouble because it has to go through the collating process and the bookbinding process. In addition, since printing and binding takes time and labor in this way, there is a problem in that printing and binding have already been completed from an early stage, and an inventory space must be secured in order to stock this until the end of the year. It is a factor that raises the cost of the calendar. In addition, since the user's individual information must be entered using a writing instrument, there is a problem that it is troublesome and time-consuming.

The present invention has been made in consideration of the above circumstances, and eliminates the need for a collating step and a bookbinding step after printing,
The purpose of the present invention is to provide a calendar that can be continuously manufactured in a short time and has improved usability for each user.

Another object of the present invention is to:
It is an object of the present invention to provide a calendar in which a printing device and an individual information printing device are combined so that different individual information can be easily printed for each user and a manufacturing method thereof.

[0008]

In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the calender according to the present invention can be folded in a zigzag shape through folding curves such as perforations provided at intervals of a certain length. Using a series of continuous long paper, the calendar cover and the necessary information such as the day of the month from January to December, the design, etc. should be provided on at least one side of each continuous page that is divided by the folding curve. In a calendar printed by a rotary press type printing device equipped with an endless flexible printing plate, the individual information printing device stores in advance the portion corresponding to the day of the week printed in the continuous long paper, which corresponds to the day of January to December. Printed area information, personal information, individual information such as school events and schedules, etc., and continuous long paper with individual information printed on at least the part corresponding to the day of the week from January to December through a folding curve. Zigzag Ri folded in is obtained by constituting the calendar consisting of a series of continuous long sheet.

In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the calendar manufacturing method according to the present invention prints a calendar cover sheet and necessary items such as the days of January to December and pictures on a series of continuous long sheets. An individual information printing device is installed on the downstream side of a rotary press type printing device equipped with an endless flexible printing plate, and this individual information printing device stores individual information such as local information, personal information, school events and schedules. Enter in the computer's storage device in advance, and enter the calendar cover and 1
After printing necessary items such as the day of the week from December to December on a continuous long sheet of paper with a printing device, the prestored individual information is output from the output device of the individual information printing device to the continuous long sheet of paper. It is a method of sequentially printing a calendar made of a series of continuous long sheets by printing and folding the continuous long sheets on which different individual information is printed in a zigzag shape.

[0010]
