Idk, i work at a print shop and half of my work day is spent fixing dog shit files people send me from Canva. It’s the scourge of pretty much every printer out there.
Nothing is vectored, everything is outlines and masks on masks on masks. So when someone sends me a letter sized document without the bleed (becase it never has bleed), i have 2 dozen groups i have to sift through to try and add bleed as best i can. Nothing is print ready, even from “professionals” sending me their ad copy. Canva is designed aroind web, so when amateurs use it for printing, it compounds all the problems, and Canvas instructions for designing for print are next to useless, even if the customer somehow managed to read them.
do people not use the templates with safe zones that i’ve seen every single printing service provide? even if they can’t figure out how to put a pdf in Cava, they could at least draw their own lines where they kinda should be
I worked in print before Canva. They were going to send you shit files with or without that tool. Most tried to send word docs or power points so Canva is probably a step up.

Just because people have the tools to do graphic design, does not make them good at graphic design.
That used to be my trade. What’s wrong with Canva files?
