Why print in Asia?
High quality, reliable service and lower prices...the same reasons people buy other goods from Asian manufacturers. Korea and Hong Kong have advanced in printing and binding to match world-class standards while maintaining the most competitive prices found anywhere usually a 20%-30% savings over U.S. prices.
Why use Shearson Print Group?
We have 25 years of experience working with printers in Asia and America. We keep you informed of the schedule, address issues as they arise and maintain a tight quality-control system, plus we speak your language. Our mission is to make your job easier and provide solutions to your printing needs.
What about turn-around time and proofs?
Normal production time is one week for press proofs and one to two weeks for printing and post-press depending on the quantity and complexity of the job. Proofs/art are sent via Fed Express and usually take 2 days each way. Average shipping time via sea to West Coast ports is 11 days from Korea. From there we ship by rail or truck to all U.S. destinations. Press proofs are a major bonus of printing in Asia, giving you much truer color than chromalins or matchprints. Youll see exactly how your final printed piece will look at the proof stage.
