User Review: 5 out of 5 stars - great stuff
We are using this for labels on our yarns. Works great. Won't have to redo if labels become damp.



User Review: 5 out of 5 stars - Definitely Weatherproof
This paper worked very well for me. I have printed maps and satellite photos of hiking trails on this paper using my inkjet printer. The images look great. Out of curiosity, I tested its weatherproof-ness by running it under the faucet. The only way I could get a little ink to run was if I heavily rubbed an area with my thumb while under running water. But even then, the image didn't smear because the loosened ink didn't re-adhere to the paper. This paper is also very strong and resists tearing. If you try to rip it like normal paper, it will only stretch a bit. Folds easily.



User Review: 3 out of 5 stars - Waterproof Yes, smudge proof, no
I purchased the paper for use in geocaches, don't know about geocaching? Google it! The log sheets in caches are handled by many , folded and refolded and often exposed to the elements. I use a Canon Pixma 4000 inkjet imprinter with genuine Canon ink to print a full color log sheet. After some experimentation I have found the paper to be very tough. It is thicker than normal paper, and much more durable, it won't tear, which is perfect. The problem is with the ink absorption. The ink doesn't get absorbed completely. I've tried different settings, allowing the paper to rest after printing, for hours, all with the same results...ink all over my hands.

Fine images also don't print with good resolution either, with the ink "pooling" and bleeding fine elements of graphics together.

I am going to try different ink jet printer to see if I can get better results. I am disappointed in the performance thus far. I will update if results change.



User Review: 5 out of 5 stars - Great transaction
Thanks for a great transaction. Items just as described and shipped in a timely manner.



User Review: 5 out of 5 stars - Durable and right for weather uses!
I purchased this product due to the fact that I needed to make 'bibs' for our athletes in our shooting program. The same type as they use in other sporting events, Tour de Tucson and such. This paper is so durable and almost impossible to tear. It ran through a standard printer and has held up great in the rain. I would use it again for anything I needed to use in the outdoors or for something that I did not want to get damage from the elements. Awesome product!
