The Only Real Canva Integration
Canva + StudioCore

Other Vendors Say "Canva Compatible."
StudioCore Actually Prints From Canva.

Every Other K-12 Poster Maker Claims a Canva Integration. None of Them Have One. They Force Teachers to Download Files, Fight With HP Click or Canon Print Artist, and Waste Hours Getting Sizing Right. StudioCore Is the Only Platform That Prints Directly From a Teacher's Canva Account.

"My district purchased a 36″ Studio B+ package and currently it has been a big hit here. The staff are able to design and print items around the school and print graphics for their bulletin boards without having to piece together pages. We as a district are very satisfied with this printer and Poster Studio Express!"
