I ordered 500 hardcover copies of my picture book which arrived in excellent condition and earlier than I expected. The pages are thick and beautifully glossy with vivid colors and attractively attached matte endpapers. The embossed, gold foiled covers are beautiful and give the books that extra special touch! Each book was thoughtfully plastic wrapped which will create a "gift experience" for customers who purchase the books and have to unwrap them. My QinPrinting sales rep is Jane Lee. She even provided some videos and photos that I could use to promote the book on my website and social media. I highly recommend this company for picture book printing!

This is the exact message I sent as a thank you, we printed 1500 hardbound books with soft touch laminate and a red foil feather. We also printed on the end pages. This was our first book and we are already planning our next printing:

Susan!!!! These books are SOOOOOOO beautiful! I don't think we could have dreamed how joyful it would be to open the box and find such care for and beautifully printed books. This was a special day -- we hope to have many more like it.

Thank you for fielding so many questions. Your patience with us (well, me) was so kind. You and your team have gone above and beyond for us.

Gratefully,
MAC

The customer support is exceptional; whenever I had a question, I'd get a response on the same day or the next day. When I asked for a couple of copies of my order to be shipped ahead of the rest for a potential client to see, and Qin Printing was happy to oblige.
I'm also impressed with the quality of their prints!

My experience with Qin printing was remarkable and wonderful. As new author, in this world of publishing Miss Jane was my lifeline to the success of completing the final steps in making my book a reality and my dream come true of publishing my first coffee table book of my photographs. I am so impressed with her knowledge, patience, understanding and helpfully holding my hand in the navigation of all the steps involved with the production. Communication was amazing, helpful and in terms I could understand. When I had questions about anything at all, she was always willing to help with an answer. She reassured me every step of the way from the first email contact to the very final moment when my books were delivered to my front door and every email, question, thought, etc in between. The printing is beautiful and the book is amazing, as well as great quality of product, colors, paper, front and back cover are just as I imagined, designed and worked for to create this book. I am grateful for everything that Qin printing has contributed to the completion of this project. I cannot thank you enough!

I am taking the time out to say that working with the Qinprinting team has been an excellent experience. They remain professional and gave timely responses. They were extremely patient with us as we navigate getting the book size right and ready for printing.

When I received the books I could not believe the quality, much better than I anticipated. The printing quality is exquisite and we are over the moon to share the books with our school community. Each person that has reviewed the books so far has spoken highly of the quality.

Thank you so very much once more and we look forward to working with you on an annual basis.

5 stars isn’t enough. Nelson was extraordinary responsive and helpful, and held my hand through my first time printing a book by thoughtfully answering all my questions. I was worried there would be a language barrier but he speaks perfect English so I never worried about miscommunication. The print quality is great and price point is excellent. Will be ordering with Qin again.
