Amazon.com Product Description
Ideal for extreme outdoor, marine, and field use, iGage's weatherproof paper absorbs ink in almost any situation, including underwater. The paper is made of a coated, single-layer, porous synthetic film with inherently superior ink absorption qualities, regardless of whether you're using a standard ink pen, highlighter, whiteboard marker, or permanent marker. Simply scribble or jot your handwritten note onto each puncture- and tear-resistant page, and you'll enjoy permanent, indelible results. As an alternative, users can also run the paper through an inkjet or laser printer, where the base film bonds tightly with the ink and toner to produce highly defined, richly colored images. Users can even write on the paper when scuba-diving or snorkeling by using a gas-charged space pen. Because of the waterproof surface, the paper excels as a base for maps, signs, banners, medical charts, ID tags, hunting permits, and more. In addition, the material won't peal over time, so you won't need to seal any edges or laminate any printed pieces. The paper even folds and glues easily while fitting inside most copiers--just like traditional paper--and withstands both the embossing and laminating process should the need arise. So do away with paper and ink that run at the first sight of a sprinkle and protect your vital information with iGage's waterproof paper. Note: The paper doesn't bond with pencil lead or certain types of inks (depending on the type of printer ink you use), so be sure to order in small quantities at first. This particular bundle includes 50 sheets of 8.5-by-11-inch paper.
Product Description
Weatherproof Paper is excellent for extreme outdoor, marine and field use. It is even possible to write on Weatherproof Paper underwater with a standard ink pen (gas charged write-anywhere pens do best underwater.) It is not possible to write on this Weatherproof Paper with a pencil.

Perfect for my needs October 1, 2009

I use this paper primarily to (1) print out trail maps for hiking trips and (2) make log pages for geocaches that I place. This paper has worked perfectly for both uses. It's rugged and definitely waterproof, but still runs through my printer easily and can be written on with pen (although pencil is a little tougher). Great stuff overall, and a great value compared to Rite in the Rain products I've used before.

First off my initial impression came up as two words. "Simply Awesome!" After getting over my giddiness I decided to do a few print tests and from my Samsung laser printer I got excellent results. I then proceeded to boil some water to put this thing to the test and it held up beautifully. Then I did a tear resistance test and while I couldn't get a tear I got some stretched weatherproof paper, no biggie as I doubt any cacher would actually try to destroy a log but if they do this stuff will hold up admirably. I even held it over an open flame and while it burns it took quite a bit longer than average paper (smells of plastic which is what I expected).
I recommend this paper for anyone needing a weatherproof and tear resistance paper.

I just got through testing this paper for use creating topo/hiking trail maps with a very inexpensive Canon Pixma IP 2600 inkjet printer. The cartridges used were OEM Canon PG-40 and CL-41 (not refilled). Print results are good and durability outstanding. I didn't have ink absorption problems that were reported by another Canon user whose printer uses different Canon cartridges.
After printing my first test map, I placed it under the faucet and ran water over it then rubbed it dry using a dish towel. It still looked good so I went onto an abrasion test. I scrubbed it with a wet Scotch Brite green. No problem! At lunch time I started my counter cover test by smearing peanut butter and grape jelly over it when making a sandwich. After washing the map with my dishes in detergent, it was good as new.
Evening time it became my cutting board when I cut meat and vegetables for a stir fry. Washed with the dishes again and the map looks fine. This mornings test did it in. Although I was able start the fire in my wood stove with the 8 1/2 by 11 map, I can no longer read it.

I purchased this paper to print star maps for our cub scout pack. I had printed a few copies on weatherproof paper that my husband bought at our local office supply store. I purchased this paper for less than 1/2 of what he paid, and the quality is just as good. I didn't test the weatherproof aspect, but durability is apparent. Great deal.

We are using this for labels on our yarns. Works great. Won't have to redo if labels become damp.
