The current yearbook software (TreeRing) is disliked, and the preferred design tool (Canva) doesn't support large-scale printing for ~75-page yearbooks, forcing consideration of alternative printing services like YearbookLife.

TreeRing is unsatisfactory, and Canva lacks printing capabilities for large yearbooks, creating a disjointed workflow between design and production.
