| Q1 |
How much does it
cost to produce a catalog? |
| A1 |
The cost will depend on the kind
of material you want to create. If you provide your own photos
or text, the cost will be reduced. In any case,
our Creative Services can suggest the best plan that suits
your budget. |
| Q2 |
It seems that printing
in Japan is expensive. Which is more reasonable, printing in
Japan or Hawaii? |
| A2 |
To make an accurate calculation of
the cost, we consider where the final product is to be distributed,
then add shipping, and transportation costs to the printing
cost. Printed matter is exceedingly heavy and is a major cost
factor to take into account. Through our experience printing
in Japan and Hawaii, we will determine the optimum arrangement
for you. |
| Q3 |
I would like to
create a website for my company. Does Wincubic offer this type
of service? |
| A3 |
Although we have a staff to maintain
the aloha-street.com website, we do not have the resources
to provide outside website production services at this time. |
| Q4 |
Can you just shoot
photographs for our publication? |
| A4 |
In the case of a simple photo-shoot,
Aloha Street can introduce you to one of the talented photographers
that we deal with. If you need further assistance or coordination
from a member of our Creative Services staff during the shooting,
please contact us for an estimate. |
| Q5 |
When you utilize
the services of a design and printing company in Japan, how
do you deal with photographic data transmission and proofing
the articles? |
| A5 |
The files such as photographic data
are transmitted securely through the FTP server to the designers
in Japan. If the files are too heavy to transmit through the
server at one time, we proceed by uploading only portions of
temporary data throughout the course of production. The final
completed files are then saved on a CD or DVD and sent out.
For proofing, we send PDF files from Japan through our secured
FTP server. The files are then printed out or sent to you via
a secured server that we share with you. |
| Q6 |
Our place of business
is in Japan and we do not want to have to transmit files back
and forth. Do you have an agency in Japan that we can deal
with our material directly? |
| A6 |
Basically, our company is based in
Hawaii. However, we can refer you to some design and printing
companies in Japan that you could deal with directly. |

Director, Yoshi Furusawa
for further information. |
