QinPrinting Reviews
I approached Qin to print my full-color, educational children's book. We went through extensive discussions regarding specifications, paper quality, binding, cover finishes, and production requirements.
I supplied the complete print-ready files, and after considerable back-and-forth, the proofs were finally approved. I was preparing to proceed with payment when I was suddenly informed that Qin could not print my book because it contained maps of India.
According to Qin, its facility was unable to print products containing maps due to restrictions in China, and it could not proceed with the order unless I removed or modified the maps.
These maps are an integral part of an educational book about India. Removing them was never an acceptable option.
What I found particularly frustrating is that this issue was identified only AFTER the entire design and proof approval process, when I was ready to make payment. This should have been identified and communicated at the very beginning, before I invested so much time preparing files and working through the production process.
Despite asking whether alternative production arrangements were possible, Qin ultimately informed me that it could not offer a solution.
I entrusted the company with my complete book files, original artwork, illustrations, layouts, and other intellectual property. I am now seeking written confirmation that these materials will remain confidential and will not be reproduced, shared, or used for any other purpose.
A printing partner should be able to identify production limitations upfront, communicate transparently, and offer reasonable alternatives where possible.
Unfortunately, this experience fell significantly short of my expectations. I would strongly encourage other authors and publishers to obtain written confirmation that their complete projects can be printed as submitted BEFORE sharing extensive production files or proceeding with proof approvals.
