Weatherproof Paper is excellent for extreme outdoor, marine, lab and field use. It is a long-time favorite paper for printing maps, forms, signs or notes for outdoor use.
It is a synthetic paper similar to a thin plastic sheet. It is one of the first papers marketed for printing topographic maps and other documents that will be used outdoors in all kinds of weather. It has excellent ink absorption, and it can be folded, glued, embossed, or laminated.
Printable on both sides and puncture resistant. You can write on it with a standard ballpoint pen, but we recommend writing using a pen with waterproof ink for optimum results. Does not accept pencil.
Each package contains 50 sheets of Weatherproof Paper. It is available in 8.5x11 and 11x17 sheets.
Weatherproof paper works best in inkjet printers that apply a pigment-based ink. You can determine if your inkjet cartridge has pigment-based ink by checking the package or the webpage where it was purchased. It can perform poorly in inkjet printers that apply a dye-based ink because many of these inks are water-soluble.
Before using any waterproof paper for an important project, we always recommend testing. It is important to determine if your paper, printer, ink/toner and writing implement will perform well in the environment of intended use.
