Our benchcard paper is a polyester blend with a waterproof coating. To maximize the color images that print on our benchcards, hangtags, and potlabels; you will need to print with a color laser printer. Any color laser printer will work with our paper.  The toner has the greatest impact on the UV resistance. The printer we HIGHLY reccommend is the HP Color Laser Jet Pro as it has fantastic UV resistance and works very well with all of our blank bench card, hangtag and pot label stock.

• HP Color LaserJet Pro 4201dn Printer.

♦ NOTE: Inkjet printers will NOT work with any of our blank sign material.

Frequently it's due to a slow internet connection or not enough memory in your printer. Be sure to download the file to your computer and print the PDF from your computer vs. printing it from your browser window.

If you are printing via Adobe Acrobat Reader from your computer (and not the browser) and the icons still don't display, your printer may not have enough memory. To test this, create a one page PDF with a single bench card on it. Download that PDF to your computer and open it in Adobe Acrobat Reader (NOT in your browser). Print the single page and see if the icons display. If so, then your printer doesn't have enough memory to print larger PDFs. You may be able to increase the memory in your printer fairly inexpensively.

One other reason the icons may not display is due to an outdated version of your Adobe Reader. You can download the free reader from get.adobe.com/reader/.

The toner is the biggest factor in how long your bench cards will last in the sun. With a high-quality laser printer using the printer manufacturer's toner (not generic or remanufactured cartridges) and printing on our blank sign material, your cards should last 2 to 6 months.

Please be aware that you may need to replace them before the end of your selling season. If your UV is stronger (i.e. more southern states & high altitudes), cards will fade faster. At lower UV levels, however, you will get more life out of your bench cards.

if you print your cards yourself your average cost for a 7"x5" card including the blank sign material and toner is less than 40¢ and the 11"x7" should be less than 80¢. Therefore, replacing cards as needed is not a significant cost.

There are PDF readers in all current browsers, but you have more control over printer settings if you download your PDF file and then open it with Adobe Acrobat Reader. You can download the free reader here, https://get.adobe.com/reader/.

Also, if you save the PDF to your computer, you can access it again for printing in the future if you like. Of course, as long as you are a subscriber, you can regenerate downloads for free at any time.

Be sure to select the button for 'Actual Size' and the printed bench cards should align perfectly with the perforations on either the 7"x5" or 11"x7" blank sign stock.

With dry winter air, there can be static in the print material If your printer is in a normal size room with walls (vs. a wide-open space), purchase an inexpensive humidifier. Humidity in the printing room should be at least 40% - do not put the humidifer next to the printer though.  We also recommend unboxing the paper and sitting on a shelf.
