FAQ

We have compiled the following frequently asked questions to help you understand how our services work and how we can help you.

1. How about the quality of your products?
We use German Heidelberg Offset Printer to do the printing, the color can be CMYK or PMS. Our ink is the Tiger ink from Japan. They both are the best machine and ink around the world. If there are problems about the quality, we can redo it for you. Our sample is free, but you need pay for the shipping cost.

2. If I want 1000pcs cards, but have 4 design, can you make it for me?
We can do 4x250pcs for you, but the price of 4x250pcs and 4x1000pcs are the same.
If I quote 1000pcs cards for you, normally it means only have one design file, same picture and same words.

3. I have a very high standard for my card, it must have best printing and best color, can you do that?
Normally we use makeup printing, means we print many client's cards together in one page. All the printing color are proofread by the professional chromatography.

But there are also two problems can influence the color. 1. As you know different display screen has different color so the color in your computer maybe is different in our computer. 2. Printing color and display screen color are two different Color concept, they adopt different principle.

To avoid these problem, our printing will strictly according to the CMYK color number or PMS color number. We will control the color error in 10%.

If you also can not satisfied with this color level, we advise you print your cards alone in one page, not printing together with our other client's card. The price will higher but we can control the error limit in 5%.

4. If the design file confirmed, can it be changed again?
Sorry, it can not changed. Because we use makeup printing, the date when you confirm the file, we will make the printing film in the same day. If you want change it, our other client's cards will be delayed. So pls carefully check the design before you confirm it.
