How To Print Digital Templates

How To Print Digital Templates

So, you’ve finished editing your Canva template. Now what?!

When you go to ‘share’ your file on Canva, you will find a number of different options for downloading. Your selection will depend on how you plan on using your template, so here are the most common download settings for the different purposes.

DIGITAL VERSION: FOR SENDING ELECTRONICALLY

PRINT SHOP: FOR SENDING TO A PROFESSIONAL PRINTER

PRINT AT HOME: FOR DIY PRINTING

Use the same settings as above with the PDF Print option selected and 'Crop marks and bleed' ticked, so you know where to trim your paper.

When printing at home, your print settings may try to increase the size of the file to fit the paper. Here is an example of this happening automatically on my Mac when I print.

Your screen may look different if using Windows for example, but there will be somewhere in the settings that determines the scale. To fix this, I just clicked the round button next to 'Scale' and changed it to 100%.
