Proofing & Approval

Review Your Print Before Final Production

We want you to know exactly how your print will look before committing to final production.

A physical proof allows you to evaluate your artwork on the selected paper or canvas and make informed decisions about color, detail, contrast, and presentation before the final print is produced.

Because every paper and canvas has different characteristics, proofing is recommended when color accuracy and material selection are important.

In-Studio Proofing Appointment

$100 per hour

For local clients, we offer in-studio proofing appointments where artwork can be reviewed in person.

Appointments include:

  • Unlimited color proofs during your session
  • Professional proofing paper and canvas options
  • Review of color, contrast, and material choices

Sessions typically run one to two hours depending on the number of images and materials being reviewed.

Additional time is available in 15-minute increments.

To schedule an appointment, call:

Three Proofs

For local and remote clients, our three-proof option allows you to evaluate your artwork on the selected paper or canvas before final production.

To order three proofs, visit the Order Giclée Proofs page and choose the paper or canvas you would like to proof.

Each proof order includes three printed samples, color adjustments, file preparation, and shipping.

After reviewing your proofs, you select the approved version for final production.

Proofing Different Papers and Canvases

Each paper and canvas produces a different appearance.

If you plan to print the same artwork on multiple materials, we recommend proofing each surface separately.

A proof approved on one substrate does not automatically represent another.


Future Orders

Once your proof has been approved, we keep the approved production file as a reference.

This helps maintain consistency for:

  • Additional prints
  • Limited editions
  • Repeat orders

Changing Print Sizes

A new proof is usually not required when ordering a different size after approval.

However, artwork proportions can affect how an image scales. If the new size changes the image proportions significantly, adjustments may be required.
