Sunday first is a real convention, not an error

US, Canadian and Japanese calendars conventionally begin the week on Sunday, and most American wall calendars, phone calendars and school timetables follow it. ISO 8601, used across Europe and in most international business, starts on Monday. Neither is more correct, but a planner in the wrong one is quietly annoying every single week, because your mental picture of the week and the page disagree.

Why it matters more than it sounds

The first column of a week gets read as the start of something. With a Sunday start, the weekend is split across the two ends of the sheet, which suits people who think of Sunday as preparation for the week ahead. With a Monday start the weekend sits together at the end, which suits people who think of it as the reward. Choose the one that matches how you actually think about the week.

Everything else is unchanged

The day blocks, ruled lines, header band and notes area work exactly as they do on the Monday start version, and all of them can be switched off. If you want a five-day sheet from a Sunday-start habit, turn the weekend off and you get Sunday through Thursday, which is the working week in several countries and is genuinely hard to find printed.

Printing it accurately

This only measures correctly if your printer doesn't rescale the page. In the print dialog set Scale: 100%, not "Fit to page" or "Shrink oversized pages". If you're not sure it worked, print the calibration page, measure the ruler on it with a real ruler, and it will tell you exactly what your printer is doing to the page.
