Need A Recommendation For A CJK Typeface That Prints Well

I’m a graphic designer who is working on a number of product manuals that are in Chinese, Japanese and Korean. Can someone recomend a CJK san serif typeface that prints well? The type size ranges from 7 pt to 24 pt. 
Hi,
I am Ganesh Gandhi, an Independent Advisor and Office Insider for Android, and a Designer. I am here to work with you on this:

I suggest all time typeface that perform exceptionally well for print:
'Source Han Sans'

Refer here:

I also recommend to use "Noto Sans CJK {JP, KR, SC, TC}" for stylish font to print :

(refer image)

Noto CJK fonts come in 4 packaging formats. Glyph designs are identical regardless of the packaging format.

In font filenames, JP, KR, SC, TC represent Japanese, Korean, Simplified Chinese and Traditional Chinese respectively.

If you need specific font for each language,
Hei Ti, a sans-serif that resembles “Helvetica”. (For Chinese)

Also try:
Mincho typeface, also known as Ming or Song , the most used font style in print for Chinese and Japanese.

It's main characteristics are the presence of small serifs vertical stroke width (vertical strokes are generally narrower than horizontal strokes).

Kindly follow this rules for perfect Japanese typography:

Noto Sans is best for Korean to Print.

Do let me know if you require any further help on this. I will keep working with you until it's resolved.

Hi Ganesh,

Thank you for all of your suggestions! I'm trying them out. I was wondering if you've had print experience with Microsoft JhengHei?

I have not used Microsoft JhengHei for print so far.
Microsoft JhengHei is optimized for ClearType, created for other character sets and uses.
These include Meiryo for Japanese, Malgun Gothic for Korean, Microsoft JhengHei for Chinese (Traditional), Microsoft YaHei for Chinese (Simplified), Gisha for Hebrew, and Leelawadee for Thai, and the ClearType Collection fonts designed for document use.
