PSA: Stop using Canva for professional print jobs

I compared a brochure I made in Canva against one done in InDesign with proper CMYK settings. The Canva version came back from the printer with muddy blacks and pixelated logos on a $500 run of 1000 copies. The InDesign file printed crisp, colors matched my screen at 95% accuracy. I wasted 3 days fixing the Canva file before we could reprint. Does anyone else have a horror story from relying on a web tool for offset printing?

What kind of printer did you use that let you send Canva files?

FedEx Office let me upload Canva files straight from the app to their print queue. No emailing myself PDFs or messing with USB drives. Walked in, grabbed my prints, and left in like ten minutes. Staples can do it too but their upload system is way clunkier.
