Why Use Asian Printers
Or Printers in China, Indonesia, Europe Or India?

Asian printers and other international printing companies provide superior quality, reliable service and lower prices…these are all the same reasons why many people buy other high-caliber goods from international manufacturers.

International printers like China and Asian printers, are now open to a broad spectrum of printing projects. The evolution of graphic arts technology from mechanical art boards to computer files, e-mail and high-speed data transmission lines has transformed the printing industry, making production overseas easier and even more affordable than ever before.

Early International Printing
Major book publishers have known for decades that they can print high-quality books overseas at tremendous savings and have been printing in Hong Kong and Singapore since the 1950s. (Next time you're in a bookstore, check out where the four-color coffee table, art, travel and children's books were printed.)

State-of-the-Art Equipment & Printing Techniques
Our Asian printers and other overseas printing factories own the same state-of-the-art pre-press equipment, printing presses and bindery systems used by American and European printers. They can accept all of the standard media and graphics software and file formats. So if you can save up to 30% on your printing job without sacrificing quality or service, then why not print using an Asian printers or Printers in China and other international markets?

Original Press Proofs
You can feel confident about your printing project's outcome, because you'll see exactly how your final printed piece will look. We eliminate the guesswork by furnishing actual press proofs for all color work. Press proofs—almost unheard of in the U.S. provide truer color fidelity than Cromalins TM or Matchprints TM. Plus, this allows you to examine the printing quality at your convenience, in the comfort of your office, rather than going to the printer for a press check. (Of course, if you look forward to doing press checks in Asia or any of our other International Locations, we can accommodate that too.)

Fast, Excellent Service
Artful Dragon Press’ Asian factories produce superior print jobs as fast as, or faster than, many printers in the U.S. They make firm commitments to our delivery schedules, and it's common for international and Asian printing plants to work around the clock, seven days a week. Average shipping time to U.S. West Coast ports is 21 days by sea (about four weeks to Europe). From there we transport by truck or rail to all destinations. We can deliver your print order to your door, almost anywhere in the world.
