Replacing the Image

- Use the Elements tab to search for new graphics (e.g., paw prints).
- Canva allows color adjustments for graphics, ensuring they match your template's design.
Printing the Flyers
- Choose one of three printing options:
- Home printer: May use more ink and produce colors that differ from screen display.
- Professional printing: Offers higher quality at potentially higher costs.
- Review design with respect to cut edges, ensuring no important elements are trimmed.
- Pay attention to layout warnings like the "Danger Zone" to avoid cutting off critical text or graphics.
- Consider various printing services for the best budget match.
Design and Printing Tips
- Order a single copy to check colors and layout before making larger orders.
