"Just wanted to let you know the garden marker stakes with the computer printed labels have been in my gardens since the summer of 2001 and look almost new!    They have been in my northeastern and southwestern gardens for the past two summers and two winters.  They survived the salt air during summer storms, the fog, and this year's harsh winter with below normal temperatures and a lot of snow.   I've tried all kinds of plant markers and pens in the past and most were destroyed or un-readable after the first winter."   MJG    Coast of Maine August 2003

Label Materials:
Both inkjet and laser material material is a polyethylene that has a special coating applied, allowing both inkjet and laser printing to attach to the surface. In addition the overlaminate material acts as a protective barrier and is designed to protect the printed image from fading due to sunlight. These materials have proven to provide excellent service in outdoor environments. Your tags will be protected from the harmful effects of water, sunlight, and air born containments.

NOTE: Laser printers work best if you want color labels. Are you using an ink jet printer?
Most desktop inkjet printers (HP, Cannon, Epson, Lexmark, etc) use a water base dyes for the colors. Without a protective overlaminate the rain, errant hose, or a 3year old with a watering can will wash your information away. Experience has shown that overtime, the black ink will hold up the best.   Even with the overlaminate color shift will occur with total loss of image within 3-4 months of sun exposure.

Since we introduced this product Epson has come out with a 'DuraBrite' ink which looks promising for color printing on our labels.   After 2 years the our test results are very good and we would recommend the Epson printers using 'DuraBrite' ink for you color tags.
