Printer compatibility

Suitable for many inkjet and laser printers capable of handling 290gsm card. Because this is a dark pearlescent shade, standard inks and toners may appear muted, and most desktop printers cannot print white. For white, pale, or highly opaque designs, use white toner, screen printing, foil, or a specialist print service. Always test one sheet and check your printer’s maximum media weight before use.

For best results with home printing:

• Check your printer’s maximum supported media weight before ordering.

• Use the manual or rear feed and the straightest available paper path.

• Select “heavy card”, “cardstock”, or the heaviest available media setting.

• Feed one sheet at a time initially.

• Avoid automatic duplexing unless your printer explicitly supports 290gsm duplex.

• Test one sheet before printing a complete pack.

• Allow inkjet output to dry fully before stacking or handling.

• Score before folding — particularly after toner printing — to reduce surface cracking.

For larger quantities or the highest quality results, this card is well suited to use with a professional print supplier. Suitability varies between printer models and press technologies; always verify compatibility with your specific equipment before committing to a full print run.

For Restaurants, Hotels & Hospitality Venues

Gardeners Green is an exceptional choice for restaurants, hotels, and hospitality venues looking to create a fresh, sophisticated impression through their printed materials. The botanical green shimmer is particularly well suited to garden dining environments, spring and summer event programmes, and nature-themed menus. At 290gsm with a smooth double-sided pearlescent finish, it elevates any printed piece and signals quality before a word is read. For the best results, we recommend using a specialist print service for hospitality print runs on this dark pearlescent shade.

Frequently asked questions

Is this card environmentally friendly?

This card is recyclable, biodegradable and acid-free (ISO 9706).

What does Gardeners Green look like?

Gardeners Green is a rich, botanical green with a soft pearlescent shimmer. It is a fresh, sophisticated colour that shifts subtly depending on the light and angle of view. Colours may appear differently on screen.

Is the pearlescent finish on both sides?

Yes. Both sides have the same smooth pearlescent finish, making it ideal for double-sided printing and projects where the reverse will be visible.

Is this paper or card?

This is heavyweight 290gsm card. It is substantially thicker and more rigid than standard printer paper.

Can I print on it using a home printer?

Gardeners Green is a dark pearlescent shade, which affects home printing in two important ways. First, your printer must physically accept 290gsm card — check the maximum supported media weight in your printer’s specifications. Second, standard inks and toners will show on the dark green surface, but light, pale, or white designs will not be visible without white toner, foil, or specialist printing. Use the manual or rear feed, select the heaviest card media setting, and always test one sheet before printing a full pack.

Can I print white onto this card?

Most standard inkjet and laser printers cannot print white ink. To achieve white or pale designs on this dark green card, you will need a white toner printer, screen printing, foil blocking, or a specialist digital print service. We recommend contacting a professional print supplier if white or light-coloured printing is required.

Is it suitable for professional printing?

Yes. This card is well suited to professional print production and can be supplied to a commercial print supplier for offset or digital printing. Its smooth double-sided pearlescent finish reproduces colours beautifully on a professional press. Suitability varies between press technologies — always confirm compatibility with your print supplier before ordering in bulk.

Which pack size should I choose?

The 10-sheet pack is ideal for small bespoke projects or limited quantities. The 50-sheet pack suits larger print runs and event stationery projects. The 100-sheet pack is our most popular choice, offering excellent value for regular use. The 250-sheet pack offers the best value per sheet and is ideal for high-volume projects or ongoing use.

Can it be folded?

Yes. Always score the card before folding to achieve a clean, accurate fold and reduce the risk of surface cracking — this is particularly important after toner printing.

Is it suitable for cutting machines?

It is suitable for many craft cutters and die-cutting machines that accept 290gsm card. Select settings appropriate for heavyweight smooth card and perform a test cut first.
