A great company with a wide range of useful print products, they are let down only by their insistence on using the execrable parcel-manglers FedEx, Britain's slowest and worst courier company. Which... See more

Excellent - all way around: from placing order to finished product

I have been using RCS for about four years now for my business printing needs. I admire the great quality this company offers for a fair price.

We have also used some of the other high profile printing providers but either the quality or the customer service experience (or both) was not to the high standard that we get at RCS.

I always say if you require excellence in the detail you should go to RCS.

Well done!
And many THANKS for your service.

does exactly what it says on the tin!

RCS provide good quality and cheap printing. They proofed our design and came back with queries to make sure it was what we wanted. We ordered super economy delivery as we were not in any rush and this provided no surprises, taking as long as they said it would on the email. Good email communication let me know when the printing was being dispatched. Overall, very pleased with the service.

excellent quality & service becoming expensive

very happy with quality service & product range

but finding I am using RCS less and less as other companies
are offering more of the core products at a lower price

the 50% plug in price means I will soon get to a point where where
I am forced to move onto other suppliers and save money overall

Simplify!

RCS got a little too complex a few years ago. It's still complex now. I appreciate the extent of your products but I get lost with "reseller" options and "training days" which I simply don't want to invest in. If I need a price, it should be a matter of making a call or sending an email. That's what I do elsewhere. Buying into Loyalty Schemes doesn't work for me. Still goodservice, although I miss some of the staff and the "one-to-one" nature I used to enjoy with RCS 15 years ago. The website really works but it's often used as a basis for finding a better price elsewhere. We will still use RCS for bespoke jobs in the foreseeable future, but I feel it is marketing itself to first-time design companies, "work-at-home" publishers and those who simply want to buy into the RCS experience 100%. "Hello" to Mike, Rick, Claire and Noreen.

Excellent quality and service but sometimes expensive

We have been dealing with RCS for several years they provide an
excellent service but on many basic items have become less
competetive over recent years. Leaflets, flyers,
brochures, business cards, comp slips, letterheads, ncr work
and colour digital printing are all items we find RCS to be no longer competetive on and we outsource from other suppliers. All other full colour outsourced work we place on RCS and are very happy with their quality and reliability. Over recent months we have noticed that we are now also able to purchase booklets at a lower rate than RCS but given their good service prefer not to switch at least until such time as a significant cost saving may be
available.
We are happy to recommend RCS as a good service but wish that they would review prices as we would be delighted if we could
outsource all our colour print to them.

Can't find a fault at all!

RCS consistently deliver quality products on time. If there are any issues with artwork they usually call to confirm and rectify when they can. A lot of our customers compare the prices to Vista Prints £5 for 250 business cards, but after they have had them printed at Vista Print they usually come back to us for the much better quality for the higher price.

RCS are the best printers I've found whilst buying print over the last 35 years

I particularly like the RCS commitment to the environment and sustainable production which mirrors our own. In terms of production of print the turnaround times given have been achieved 100% over the last four years and the quality of the product is very good - stochastic screening really gives it the edge. Most products such as business cards, letterheads etc are competitively priced against other batch production facilities.
What we at PrintPod find most valuable is the care we receive by the Sigma team and the guys that check the files who have averted many calamities.

Foiled again

Sadly, despite polite staff, RCS failed to deliver when it came to printing custom business cards with a block foil. Despite clear instruction and agreement on that, the foil was blocked on the wrong side. My client was very disappointed, he missed out on work because of it, my reputation was tarnished and the whole debacle became pretty expensive. Sad, I had high hopes.

They did refund though, which was nice.

Reply from RCS Plc

We were also bitterly disappointed that we got this wrong. We made the fatal mistake of assuming that the foil needed to be on the printed side of the card rather than on the blank reverse. We offered to reprint but Mark preferred a refund which we were happy to do. We have definitely learned lessons from this problem and are very sorry for the error and embarrassment caused.

Very pleased with RCS product quality and service

We feel confident about placing orders with RCS. Accurate delivery dates, consistent high quality. If there has ever been any problem with, it has been rectified promptly (thankfully these have only been paperwork issues, thank fully no quality problems as yet). Prices are not always the cheapest but certainly feel reasonably competitive on the standard RCS lines. Found very expensive on completely bespoke jobs. Website is user friendly and easy to navigate. Would welcome a larger discount on our own printing.

Responsive Professional Proactive Realistic

Well its like this, we have been with RCS for 5 years and as far as I can tell we will be with them for another 5 years. The quality of print and relibalinty of service is second to none, yes they have made mistakes (very few) but more important they have always put them right to my satisfaction. So if your looking for a good quality reliable print partner, then look no more.

Brilliant Service, excellent products you deliver when you say you will.

It's rare to find a company that actually lives up to what it says it's going to do so it's great to work with RCS. The products are consistently excellent and they try innovative ways to promote products and give resellers advice. You feel like they are trying to help your business and work together with you.

Great company to work with!
