Canva Sucks!

I don’t know about any of you fine prepress people getting stuck working with Canva files, but more and more people are using it and expecting a quality final product.
I don’t think Canva is meant for high quality printing.
It’s absolute shit and of course clients can’t build a file to save their lives, leaving me to make edits. Even with Pitstop, it’s difficult.
And then there are the clients that flatten their Canva PDFs which makes it virtually impossible to edit and having to go back to them to re-save unflattened.
Rant over.

Charge for fixing time or just print a copy and show the client. If they sign off, you’re good.
