Canva is a user-friendly graphic design tool that is beloved by small business owners and freelance professionals for its simple and intuitive design interface. But what about printing? Can users print their designs directly from Canva, or do they need to export their designs and take them to a professional printer?
The answer is yes and no. Canva offers a printing service for some of its designs, but not all. And even for the designs that can be printed directly from Canva, users may want to consider exporting their design and taking it to a professional printer for the best results.
Here’s a closer look at printing from Canva:
What Can Be Printed from Canva?
Canva offers two main printing services:
- Canva Print: This service is available for select templates, including business cards, flyers, posters, and invitations. Users can choose between standard or premium paper stocks, with prices starting at $9.95 per order.
- Canva Pro Print: This service is available for all designs on Canva, including those not available through Canva Print. Users can order prints in any size and quantity, with prices starting at $19.
Printing Limitations
It’s important to note that not all designs on Canva can be printed directly from the site. For example, designs that include copyrighted images (e.g., images from Google Images) cannot be printed through either of Canva’s printing services.
Additionally, some users have reported issues with colors not printing correctly when using Canva’s printing services. For this reason, users who are concerned about color accuracy may want to export their design as a PDF or JPG file and take it to a local print shop.
