QinPrinting Reviews
First, they were so reactive, it was especially great to have a contact in Canada, Daniel was so helpful and so quick to respond to my questions. I was guided during the entire process, received a lot of updates and advises. The result was perfect, even better than expected. Also they were always ahead of the expected dates for reviews, proofing, printing and shipping. And prices ate very competitive. So yes I will do business again with them.
Thank Qin Printing team.
At the start, I slightly overestimated how quickly I would complete the project, and for almost a year, I was in contact with Susan, who handled everything with remarkable kindness, understanding, and efficiency. Throughout the entire process, Susan always responded promptly, offering valuable insights and suggestions on how best to achieve the quality I envisioned. Her support made a world of difference, especially given the complexity of my game, which required a great deal of checking and double-checking.
When the final product arrived, I was absolutely thrilled—the quality is simply stunning. Every detail was beautifully executed, and the results exceeded my expectations. It was truly a wonderful experience working with QinPrinting, and I am deeply grateful to Susan in particular, who was an absolute pleasure to work with. If you are looking for a printing partner who combines professionalism, skill, patience, and genuine care, look no further than QinPrinting.
From start to finish, Jane was incredibly informative and helpful.
Also great communication.
My books arrived, and are beautiful!
Jane was prompt and had GREAT attention to detail were exceptional. Most of my emails were answered within 24 hours, and Jane went above and beyond by sending pictures, samples, and clear explanations to help me understand all the technical aspects of book printing. She even reviewed my proofs thoroughly and pointed out a few important adjustments I needed to make to my PDF files.
Shipping was faster than expected, and when I compared the final copies from Qin Printing with those from IngramSpark, Qin’s quality was far superior. The materials looked more polished; paper is higher quality, and the print was crisper. Each book was carefully wrapped.
I ended up saving 75% of my printing budget, and communicating in English was no issue at all. It felt like Jane cared about the project as much as I did. I can’t recommend her and Qin Printing enough. Thank you so much for helping bring my book to life!
