The design's done and it looks lovely on screen — now to get it onto paper without any last-minute surprises. Printing is the step where a few small choices make the difference between "that looks store-bought" and "hmm, not quite right." This is your starting point: the overview, plus links to the detailed guide for each part.

At home or with a print service?
Both are great — it comes down to your printer and how hands-on you want to be.
- At home — perfect for invitations, cards and smaller pieces. You'll want decent cardstock and the right print settings (more on those below).
- Corjl Prints — the print service built right into Corjl. Finish editing, click Print, and it prints and ships your design to you. The least fuss of any option.
- Prints of Love — a professional online printer with fast turnaround and free shipping, plus 10% off for marryful customers (printsoflove.com, code marryful10). Great for invitations and cards.
- A local print shop — best for large signs and anything oversized, and handy wherever you are in the world.
Printing wherever you are
Wherever you're celebrating — the US, Canada, the UK, Australia, Europe — the rule is the same: at-home printing works anywhere with a decent printer and good cardstock, and Corjl Prints comes built in. For posted, professional prints, Prints of Love is a lovely option in the US and Canada, and a good local print shop or local online printer does the same job elsewhere. If you're outside the US, it's also worth a quick read on US vs European paper sizes before you print.
The three things that always matter
- Download a PDF for printing — it's the sharpest and keeps your size exact.
- Select all pages if your template has more than one.
- Print at 100% / Actual size — never "Fit to page," which quietly resizes your design.
Always test one first. Whatever method you choose, print a single copy on your chosen paper before running the whole batch. One test sheet catches colour and sizing surprises while they're still easy to fix.

Can I print at home, or do I need a professional?
Home printing is perfect for invitations and cards on good cardstock. Use a professional service (Corjl Prints, Prints of Love, or a local shop) for large signs, big batches, or a flawless finish.
What file should I print from?
A PDF — it's the sharpest and keeps your sizing exact. Here's the full download guide.
Where can I print outside the US?
At home anywhere, via Corjl Prints, or through a local print shop or local online printer. Just check US vs European sizes first if you're on A-size paper.
Why didn't my gold and silver print shiny?
Home printers can't print metallic ink. Here's how to get the metallic look with the right paper or foil.
My print came out the wrong size. What happened?
Almost always "Fit to page." Choose 100% / Actual size instead and it'll print true to the design.
That's the whole map. Get those three basics right — PDF, all pages, 100% — pick the method that suits you, and your design makes it onto paper looking exactly as you intended.
