Creative Card Printing Tips for Every Occasion
Traditional greeting cards still hold a special place even in our digital world. And while store-bought cards are convenient, making your own adds a personal touch that’s hard to beat. There’s something truly satisfying about designing and printing a card from scratch — it’s a thoughtful way to express yourself and share a heartfelt message. This blog will show you how you can create your own unique greeting cards using a Canon printer in the UAE.
Get the right printer
Before anything else, make sure you have the right printer for card printing. Here at National Store, we offer the best range of Canon SELPHY and PIXMA printers to inspire you to get creative. Ask our staff to show you the PIXMA or SELPHY CP1500 for DIY cardmaking.
Canon PIXMA printers excel in high-quality text and photo printing on a wide range of paper types, such as Canon’s Double-sided Matte Paper MP-101D. This pre-creased 7×10-inch paper comes with envelopes so you can make and send greeting cards quickly. Additionally, PIXMA printers let you print wirelessly from your tablet or smartphone with the free Canon PRINT app or the Easy-PhotoPrint Editor app.
Do you need a compact Canon printer in the UAE? Check out the SELPHY CP1500. It uses dye-sublimation technology to produce high-quality, vivid postcard-sized photos, making it perfect for creating postcards out of your family photos, travel pics, and snapshots of important milestones. It also works with a range of sticker papers for creating personalised decorations on handmade cards.
Download templates
If you have a Canon PIXMA printer, visit the Creative Park website for downloadable and customisable designs and templates. For SELPHY printers, use the SELPHY Photo Layout app to make custom frames and collages.
Leave space for doodles
Add a personal touch to your greeting cards by drawing or writing a personal note. Use the Canon SELPHY CP1500 to print personalised stickers or labels.
Pick the right paper
Canon Matte Photo Paper is a great choice for printing greeting cards with a professional and soft finish using PIXMA printers. Alternatively, try the Double-sided Matte Paper MP-101D for rich colours and vibrant designs. Canon also offers postcard-sized sheets for SELPHY printers. They have built-in address lines so you can mail your cards easily.
