Digital Proof vs Print Canvas — Explained 2026
By the AmourPrint editorial team · Last updated May 29, 2026
Every AmourPrint canvas goes through a digital-proof step before printing. This step — the JPG we email you within 24 hours of ordering — is where 90% of mistakes get caught. Below: what to look for, how to approve, why this step matters more than most customers realize.
The difference between a $200 canvas you love and a $200 canvas that comes back wrong is the digital proof. Most print-on-demand competitors auto-typeset and skip this step — you find out the misspelling when the canvas arrives. AmourPrint emails a JPG within 24 hours and waits for your approval before we stretch a single canvas.
What the digital proof shows
A high-resolution JPG of exactly what will be printed: the lyrics typeset in your chosen font, your names, the date, any custom lines (city, venue, signoff). The proof is shown at scale — you see the canvas as it will look on the wall.
What to check carefully
1) Spelling of every name. 2) The exact wedding date (we've caught couples with their year-of-birth instead of wedding-year). 3) Punctuation in the song lyric. 4) Any special characters (accented letters, apostrophes, em-dashes vs hyphens). 5) The overall layout — does it feel balanced, or top-heavy? Ask for revisions if so.
How to request revisions
Reply to the proof email with what you want changed. "Please move the date below our names" or "Please change the comma after Boston to a period." We send a new proof within 24 hours. Unlimited revisions — we'd rather get it right than ship it fast.
Why the proof step matters
The proof prevents the entire production from being wrong. A misspelled name on a printed canvas can't be fixed; it has to be reprinted from scratch (which we'll do free, but it delays everything by 7–10 days). The 5 minutes you spend reviewing the proof carefully saves 7–10 days.
How long the proof takes
24 hours from order placement, M–F. Orders placed Friday after 3pm PT typically get the proof Monday by noon.
What happens after you approve
We print on archival canvas (Epson UltraChrome inks), hand-stretch over a kiln-dried pine frame, package, and ship via UPS or USPS. Total time from approval to ship: 3–5 business days. Total time from order to delivery: 5–7 business days standard, 3 days rush.
FAQ
Q: Can I get a physical sample first? A: Not standard — the digital proof shows the exact print. We do offer free reprints if you're unhappy with the canvas as it arrives.
Q: How many revisions can I request? A: Unlimited.
Q: What if I approve and then change my mind? A: Reach out within 24 hours of approval and we'll often catch it before printing.
