While most print their designs by simply downloading it locally and using their printer, what many don’t know is that Canva offers a special custom print service. That’s why today, we’ll be taking a closer look at how you can print on Canva and the precise nuances of either option.
Methods of Printing with Canva
If we were to break down printing on Canva at the top-most level, there is only one divide. Hence, there are 2 methods of printing with Canva:
1. Printing using your device’s built-in application
A method that has been used ever since printing became commonplace, this involves downloading the design you created in Canva and printing it using the built-in application on your device. We’ll be addressing Windows and macOS devices in particular. But first, here’s how to create and download your design on Canva on to your device: Some of these features may require you to have Canva’s paid plan. Anyways, now that the design has been downloaded, all that’s left is to print it.

2. Printing using Canva’s special service
Canva also offers a paid printing service for professional prints for all kinds of things: yard signs, banners, water bottles, mugs, clothes, etc. This way you can technically just hand over your design to Canva themselves to print it for you. However, this feature is only available in select regions and the options can also vary on the region. To have Canva print your design, follow these steps: After placing your order, you will receive an email confirmation message. You can also modify or cancel your order for 2 hours after placing it.
Printing Yourself vs. Printing with Canva (or Other Services)
Printing by yourself is pretty common but when you want to get designs custom printed, things get a bit more complicated. You have to rely on third-party services for this job and there’s no guarantee for whether the quality will be up to the mark or not. Canva is reliable and safe, with the best quality guaranteed. They also offer a refund or reprint, if contacted within 30 days after receiving the order. Other services like PsPrint are also great options, which also offer professional prints for a wide range of options, while being trusted. However, the main disadvantage would be the limited design options. Since Canva is primarily a graphic design tool, you can create almost anything on it. However, services like PsPrint do not offer much in the way of designs, and rely upon you already having ready-made ones.
