QinPrinting Rated Excellent for Doujinshi Printing
We've used QinPrinting twice now. They have been absolutely amazing to work with. They are always quick to respond, answer our questions thoroughly, clear up any doubts, help us best understand what to order based on our expectations, helped spot potential printing errors in our designs, and then delivered a beautiful finished product, both times. I look forward to our next project with them - I'm always SO impressed.
Qin Printing was super helpful in bringing our business idea to life. They make wonderful products.
They were very responsive and helpful in answering questions about production process and logistics. The quality of the books is great! I would recommend taking the time to receive a physical dummy sample and review each of the pages in a hard proof. I would recommend.
Amazing service and pricing. Highly recommend.
QinPrinting was so easy to work with. They make a quality product at an excellent price! This was my first time printing a book and the staff answered all my questions, communicated in a timely manner, and were very patient with me in the process of it all. I will definitely use them again!
My first experience with a Chinese Company. Susan was awesome. They answered many questions over the next few week as it involved printing a book, and I am also a new author. The books arrived in perfect condition. They were packed so well for the ocean voyage. I will be ordering, again. Hopefully, the Tarriff Tempest will be over soon.!
Fantastic experience!
From start to finish, Jane was incredibly informative and helpful.
Also great communication.
My books arrived, and are beautiful!

Excellent company and wonderful communication! I truly appreciate the work they did on my book for children. Superb service.
Working with Jane Lee at QinPrinting was a truly wonderful experience and exceeded my expectations! As a first-time author, I was very nervous about the book printing process, but Jane made everything feel smooth and manageable.
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!

Printing was top notch! Customer service was great, they went above and beyond to make my comic book come to life! I can't recommend them enough. Thank you!
Excellent printing and delivered on time as promised
Being an International Printing Broker, I am always seeking new printers to add to my group. Qin Printing was the third overseas printer I decided to use since I could not find any printer in the U.S. who would print 16x20 on Holographic Poster Stock. The finished product was reviewed by my customer when I asked if he was satisfied: "Hey, Terry! Yes! We were very pleased, and they came out great!" Susan Han was a great customer service rep for Qin and kept me in the loop from start to finish. Will use them again.
Amazing customer support, and printing quality was exactly what I was after.
Jane is excellent to deal with. I have now placed a second order from Australia, she respondedly immediately with options and made the whole process very simple. There was no language barrier and we're excited to receive the same beautiful quality of the first. Highly recommend.
Excellent service—I felt well informed throughout the process. Good quality paper, binding and printing. I will order a next badge without any doubts.
