What's the difference between CMYK or RGB images? CMYK is the colours gamut used for conventional printing, and stands for Cyan, Magenta, Yellow and Black. RGB is the colour gamut used to display images on computer screen, and stands for Red, Green and Blue, which is absolutely fine for social media.
Printing with RGB instead of CMYK can have a negative impact on the quality of the print.
Canva is a great programme, however if your using the free version it doesn't allow you to download files for printing which flatten the design and include bleeds and crops.
Don't forget to 'attach an image' to the background if it covers the entire area, when using Canva this ensures you can save with bleed.

If you’re unable to amend the design yourself, there are a couple of options open to you:
1. Print with a white border
You can request that we print document with a 6mm white border to ensure a neat finish with no slivers of white or missing content.
2. Have the artwork amended by a graphic designer
A professional designer should be able to recreate or amend your existing artwork and remove any issues. If you’d like our in-house design team to take a look, let us know.
Sorry we only have a wide format printer and are unable to print individual photographs. However, if you have a frame and its bigger than 10 x 8inches then please contact us for a quote.
Sorry we cannot print directly from a mobile phone. We would need you to email us your artwork.
