Read on to learn how to print multiple pages on one page in Canva.
Setting up your document in Canva for printing
Anyone looking to improve the visual appeal of their online and printed content may find Canva to be an invaluable tool. It’s so simple that practically anyone can pick it up and start using it right away. Using one of the many available templates, you can give the impression of being a design pro after spending only a short amount of time on the project.
To ensure that your work looks great on both a digital screen and paper, you must send the file types to the printer in the best possible way; this can be challenging if you are not a trained designer. You’re a small company or nonprofit with limited resources that need to streamline the design process, and we get it.
Images and designs should be of a resolution of at least 300 dpi.
For “digital use,” or solely screen viewing, the goal is the lowest resolution possible without sacrificing visual quality. The reason for this is that you want the image to load quickly so that viewers don’t lose interest and move on to something else while they wait for it to finish.
In contrast, when printing, a high resolution is preferable, ideally at least 300 dots per inch (dpi) throughout the entire document or file. Our large format, digital, and offset presses can produce sharp results with images at 300 dpi. As a result, any images or logos you decide to incorporate into the designs will also be of high quality.
Finding and installing high-resolution images and logos can be a time-consuming process. Doing the legwork to obtain high-resolution images always pays off in the end. It ensures that your printed images retain their sharpness and consistency across all of your marketing materials.
Create a high-resolution PDF with margins for trimming and bleeding. Canva provides that flexibility. Here’s how to get the high-resolution file off of Canva:
- To start downloading, select your preferred file format and click the corresponding button.
- Select the Document Type from the drop-down
- Choose PDF Print from the Menu
- Click the “crop and bleed” box that appears beneath the menu’s drop-down selection.
- To acquire, just click the download button.
You can use Canva to upload your brand’s Pantone colors. However, Pantone colors are converted to RGB when the file is exported. This can cause inconsistencies if we’ve ever printed anything for your business using Pantone colors. While we always do our best to match colors, please keep in mind that anything printable from Canva in RGB will not be an exact match to anything previously printed with embedded Pantones.
Canva page limitations
One feature I’ve wanted for a while now is growing the page limit in your Canva designs, and it appears to be one of many recent tests that Canva is conducting. Each Canva template used to be limited to a maximum of 100 pages. This is sufficient for many projects.
However, the more often you use Canva, the more templates you’ll generate. Eventually, I ran out of room and had to start keeping multiple designs, each around 100 pages long. While this may seem like a minor adjustment, I’m crossing my fingers that it’s the start of a larger trend to make Canva much more user-friendly (particularly for its regular users).
Different ways to print multiple pages on one page in Canva
When you want to print multiple pages on one page in Canva, there are a few different ways that you can go about it. You can either use the built-in “Multi-Page” printing option in Canva, or you can export your design as a PDF and then use a PDF printing tool like Adobe Acrobat to print multiple pages on one page.
If you want to use the built-in “Multi-Page” printing option in Canva, simply open up your design in the editor and click on the “File” menu at the top. From there, select the “Print” option and then choose the “Multi-Page” printing layout. This will allow you to print multiple copies of your design on one page.
Alternatively, if you want to export your design as a PDF and then use a PDF printing tool like Adobe Acrobat to print multiple pages on one page, you can also do that. To export your design as a PDF, simply click on the “File” menu at the top of the editor and select the “Export” option.
Choose “PDF” as your file format and then make sure to select the “Multiple Pages per Sheet” option in the PDF settings.
