When I moved to the Midlands last year I was looking for a printer to do some training manuals for me...

and I found 21st Century Print Ltd. Since then I have used them numerous times for a variety of work. I give them full marks for great quality of work, speed of service and pricing. No need to look elsewhere, I can really trust them to do a great job."

Tony produces superb printing to a time he promises and at a price offering excellent value.

I asked Tony to produce two different cards for a new venture, to a tight timescale for important client and supplier meetings. The job was delivered in time, despite the tight deadlines and to an excellent standard.

Thanks Tony - your work is excellent and your service is designed to please."

Our Company have used 21st Century Print for some time now, our general day to day printing requirements have been handled with care and attention.

Just recently I was tasked with some bespoke requirements, Tony and his design team set to it and within no time I was reviewing designs and receiving samples to review. The outcome was fantastic, we couldn’t be happier."

21st Century Print have supplied our printed materials for the last five years.

They have always provided efficient, friendly service – but more than that, on several occasions have gone out of their way to ensure we receive the items we need at very short notice. Tony and Carol go above and beyond for their customers."
Sue Soley

We act for a large portfolio of clients in dealing with their company secretarial and corporate legal compliance requirements which requires us to send circulars to shareholders, notices, accounts etc on their behalf.

We have used the services of 21st Century Print Limited for several years to deal with the printing and despatch of documents and throughout that time we have found them to be consistently efficient, reliable, and accurate even when completing tasks given at very short notice. In short, an outstanding level of service.

It gives me great pleasure to recommend them.

Colours Explained

What is the difference between CMYK and RGB?

CMYK stands for Cyan, Magenta, Yellow and Black. Every colour on your printed material is made by mixing these four inks.

RGB stands for Red, Green and Blue. These are the colours of light used on a computer screen. They make up the colours on screen when mixed together. 

RGB - CMYK

So what’s the difference?

RGB is used for viewing colours on a monitor or screen. For example, all the colours on this and any website are in RGB.

CMYK is used for viewing colours in print.

Our presses all use cyan, magenta, yellow and black inks to print your job from the digital artwork you supply. Before uploading your artwork, please make sure it is set up in CMYK. If it isn’t, we’ll convert it for you. However, this can mean your colours look different when printed than they did on your artwork.

Avoid rich black text

Rich black is created from a mix of CMYK inks. When printing, there will always be a slight shift or movement. This can be noticeable in rich black text, so make sure any text is 100% black only. That way there’s no risk of registration errors.

Solid black areas of colour

For solid blacks, you may want a richer shade. Too much ink can harm the quality of your print, so if you want a rich black solid, use the values shown below: 

30% Cyan,
30% Magenta, 
30% Yellow, 
100% Black. 

This will make your blacks richer and keep the total ink coverage within recommended guidelines of our Indigo presses.

White text

Setting a colour to overprint means that it prints over another colour, so do not use this setting for white ink (or 0% in CMYK terms). If you leave this as overprint, it will simply disappear.
