  • What Is The Difference Between 4-color Process And Pms Color?
    4-color process, or CMYK, representing color based on the standard printing ink colors of cyan, yellow, magenta, and black. 4-color process printing is a printing technique that uses a combination of the four CMYK ink colors to reproduce a wide range of colors. It is suitable for printing photographs, complex graphics, and color blends. PMS colors or Pantone Matching Systems are mixes to match specific colors found in a Pantone Matching System book. It is more expensive than using process colors. PMS colors are pre-mixed and standardized colors that are typically used for branding, logos, and specific color matching requirements. PMS colors are formulated using a specific ink recipe and can ensure color consistency across different print runs and printing techniques. However, using PMS colors can be more expensive than using 4-color process printing, especially for small print runs. But maybe necessary if you have to match a particular color exactly, or if you are using metallic or fluorescent colors.
  • Will offset printing accurately reproduce my colors?
    Due to the complex nature of reproducing a full spectrum of colors by blending four colors of ink (Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, and Black), all four-color printing is subject to some small degree of color variance. This means that specific colors may look slightly different from the beginning of a run to the end of the run, and differences become more pronounced between different runs. Four-color offset presses can reproduce colors far more consistently than digital or print-on-demand presses, but the blending of inks means that there will always be some variance. This variety is most noticeable between different runs of the same project. For individual colors that need to be consistently printed, we recommend spot color ink. In this process, instead of using four separate ink colors applied by four printing plates, the ink is mixed separately until it exactly matches the desired color and is applied via a separate printing plate designed to apply only this single color. We match your color using the Pantone Color Matching System.

We advise that you get a hard copy proof if you are concerned about how the colors will print, especially if you are converting from RGB colors on your screen to CMYK colors in print. Please note that hard copy proof will add to your total cost and turnaround time.

    After price confirmation, you can require samples to check our quality.

  • Can I change my order once it is placed?

  • How Is The Transportation?
    The goods can be delivered by air or by sea. The approximate delivery time by air is no more than five business days and by sea 15–30 days. Shipping costs might vary due to different destinations.
  • What is my turnaround time?
    Your turnaround time includes prepress, production, and shipping and will vary based on your project, but will add up to anywhere from 6 to 10 weeks.
  • How long does shipping take?
    Expedited shipping typically takes one week. Standard ocean shipping typically takes five weeks. Please note that we cannot guarantee standard ocean shipping times because there can sometimes be delays as your shipment goes through customs. Our standard of air shipping times are also not guaranteed. We cannot ship orders to certain countries due to political instability and other factors.
  • Can you guarantee a delivery date?
    Sadly, we can't guarantee standard ocean shipments, due to elements being out of our control. Random customs inspections, weather events, and holidays like Chinese New Year can disrupt project shipping timelines.
  • Why are your turnaround times so long?
    SunTop does all of our printing in Shenzhen, China. Shipping is the longest aspect of determining delivery times. Ocean shipping takes five to six weeks to travel from China to most U.S. destinations. This timeline is subject to delay because of customs inspections, inclement weather, and port labor disputes. If you're in a hurry, we can expedite part of your order via air. Please note that the expedited shipping only pertains to your shipping timeline, not the production of your project.
  • Is my order delivery date guaranteed?
    For expedited shipments, we have a Premium Expedited option that can bring the 1-week expedited turnaround down to about 3 days. There are two main reasons for this. First, the ocean shipping portion of the shipping process can vary depending on weather and other factors. Second, once your order arrives in the United States, it must pass through U.S. customs. Although this is typically a smooth process, it is also outside our control, and sometimes containers may be flagged for random inspection, adding days or weeks to the shipping time. All that said, you won't have to worry about dealing with U.S. customs or freight carriers during the customs process, we handle all that for you.
  • How do I change my shipping address after placing an order?
    Please call us as soon as possible if you require a shipping address change to avoid any delays or additional fees. For standard ocean shipping orders, we can usually change shipping addresses until after your order has cleared customs in the US (generally about a week before delivery). Please note that changing your shipping address may change your total shipping price.
