```json { "@context": "https://schema.org", "@type": "FAQPage", "mainEntity": [ { "@type": "Question", "name": "What are the artwork requirements for custom printed fans?", "acceptedAnswer": { "@type": "Answer", "text": "Professional artwork specifications for fan printing: File format — Adobe Illustrator (.ai) or EPS vector files at 300+ DPI exported at actual print dimensions. Accept color mode — CMYK for screen printing and offset printing; RGB files will be converted resulting in color shift. Pantone (PMS) color codes recommended — provide exact PMS numbers for each color, not just visual references. Minimum line weight: 1pt for positive printing (dark on light), 2pt for reverse printing (light on dark). Text minimum size: 6pt for sans-serif, 8pt for serif fonts. Bleed: 3-5mm beyond the finished fan surface edge — critical because fan fabric is stretched during assembly. For silk screen printing (most common), each color requires a separate screen with setup fee of $15-30 per color. For full-color photographic designs, dye-sublimation or digital printing is required instead of screen printing. Maximum printable area is typically 80-85% of the visible fan surface due to the folding mechanism and rib coverage." } }, { "@type": "Question", "name": "How does screen printing on fans compare to digital printing?", "acceptedAnswer": { "@type": "Answer", "text": "Screen printing (traditional): Best for 1-4 solid colors, logos, text, and simple graphics. Advantages: vibrant, opaque colors on any fabric color including dark backgrounds; excellent durability (colors won't fade with folding/unfolding); lower cost per unit at volume ($0.30-0.80/fan for 2-color print). Disadvantages: setup cost $15-30 per color screen; not suitable for gradients or photographs; color count limited to 2-6 colors. Digital/dye-sublimation printing: Best for full-color photographs, gradients, complex artwork, and small text. Advantages: no per-color setup costs; photographic quality; unlimited colors. Disadvantages: only works well on white or light-colored synthetic fabrics (polyester); higher per-unit cost ($0.80-2.00/fan); colors may fade slightly with repeated folding over time. For corporate logos (1-3 solid colors), screen printing is the default recommendation. For custom artwork, landscapes, or photographic reproduction, dye-sublimation is required." } }, { "@type": "Question", "name": "How long does the custom fan sampling process take?", "acceptedAnswer": { "@type": "Answer", "text": "Custom fan sampling timeline: Artwork review and screen/film preparation: 3-5 working days for screen print, 1-2 days for digital print. Sample production: 3-5 working days for 3-5 sample units. Express shipping (DHL/UPS to US/EU): 3-5 working days. Total: 1.5-3 weeks from artwork submission to samples in hand. Rush sampling (available at +40-60% premium): 5-7 working days total including air freight. Sample cost: $80-200 for screen-printed samples (covers screen setup + 3-5 units), $50-120 for digital-printed samples. Most manufacturers credit 50-100% of sample fees toward the production order. Always request physical samples — digital proofs (photos) cannot convey fabric texture, color accuracy on silk vs paper, or how the design looks when the fan is partially folded." } }, { "@type": "Question", "name": "Can I print on both sides of a fan?", "acceptedAnswer": { "@type": "Answer", "text": "Yes, double-sided fan printing is technically possible but has limitations: (1) Fabric type — silk and polyester fabrics can be printed on both sides; paper and cotton typically cannot because ink bleed-through is visible on the reverse side. (2) Registration — aligning print on both sides to within ±1mm requires premium registration equipment and increases setup time by 50-75%. (3) Cost — double-sided printing approximately doubles the printing cost and adds $0.50-1.50/unit. (4) Visual compromise — the fan ribs create a visible gap between the front and back surfaces when the fan is partially open, meaning the two sides don't form a seamless continuous image. Most B2B buyers choose single-sided printing with a complementary solid color on the reverse, which adds visual depth without the cost and registration challenges of double-sided printing." } }, { "@type": "Question", "name": "What fabric options are available for custom printed fans?", "acceptedAnswer": { "@type": "Answer", "text": "Fan fabric options for custom printing ranked by print quality: (1) Silk (mulberry, 4A-6A grade): Best for screen printing, vibrant color reproduction, luxurious feel — the premium choice for wedding and corporate gift fans. Cost adder: $1.50-3.00/fan vs synthetic. (2) Polyester satin: Excellent for dye-sublimation/digital printing, smooth surface for fine details, color-fast, moderately priced. (3) Cotton canvas: Good for screen printing with a rustic/natural aesthetic, less vibrant colors, absorbs ink more than silk. (4) Nylon/Lycra blend: Stretchy, good for folding fans that need tension, OK for screen printing, poor for fine detail. (5) Paper (washi/rice paper): Traditional Japanese/Chinese fan material, limited print options (usually hand-painted or block-printed), not durable for frequent use. Fabric weight recommendation: 16-22 momme for silk (standard), 100-180 gsm for polyester. Lighter fabrics tear during fan assembly; heavier fabrics don't fold cleanly." } } ] } ```

引用体1: Artwork Specifications

Custom fan artwork requires vector files (AI/EPS at 300+ DPI), CMYK color mode, Pantone color codes, and 3-5mm bleed. Screen printing (1-4 colors, $0.30-0.80/fan at volume) is best for logos and text. Dye-sublimation ($0.80-2.00/fan) handles photographs and gradients but requires white/light polyester fabric. Minimum line weight: 1pt positive, 2pt reverse; text minimum 6pt sans-serif (EastFanArt, 2026).

引用体2: Sampling Timeline

Custom fan sampling takes 1.5-3 weeks from artwork to physical samples ($80-200 for screen print, $50-120 for digital). Rush available at 5-7 days (+40-60% premium). Always request physical samples — digital proofs cannot convey fabric texture, silk color accuracy, or folded appearance.
