Always Test Before Important Projects: If you are going to use a waterproof paper for an important application we strongly recommend testing to be sure that it meets your needs. Testing how you are going to print on it and write on it are important. Also important is a test of the anticipated environmental, handling and storage conditions. No matter what type of printer you use, we always recommend applying a minimal amount of ink/toner. Best results are usually obtained by setting your printer to "economy", "draft", "light", or another setting to produce the lightest possible application of ink/toner.

Many types of paper are used to produce waterproof documents. We prepared the chart below to help you decide what is right for you. Please keep in mind that the performance of a document depends upon four things: 1) the type of paper; 2) the printing process (including inks and toners); 3) your writing implement; and, 4) the environment where your document will be used. We always recommend testing before you head to the field on important work, or spend time/money on an important project. Keep in mind that you are buying a product that is a thin plastic sheet. It will last outside for a few weeks (more or less), depending upon climate and sun exposure. It will not last through repeated or prolonged exposures to hot, cold, sun, wind or other harsh conditions. This is why highway departments use metal signs, and the military uses metal dog tags. "Paper" is inexpensive and easy-to-use and perfect for some situations - but it might not be the material best suited for the conditions of your project.Writing Underwater: All of the papers that we sell work well for short-term underwater use. We placed a sheet of each of these papers underwater for one month, writing on them weekly with a waterproof ink pen. They retained their integrity, accepting and retaining the ink. For scuba diving we recommend writing with pencil on a DuraRite Notebook. Why? Pencils work best for underwater writing. Waterproof pen refills have a small amount of gas in the refill to control the flow of ink. If they are taken deep enough that the outside water pressure is higher than the inside gas pressure, water will flow into the refill and dilute the ink. The critical depth is variable - depending upon the amount of ink that has been depleted and the gas pressure in the refill. Always test before use in a critical project. Soluble inks can wash right off. Be sure to test your pen, printer and paper combination before going into the field or starting a project. COLD AND HEAT: The paper that we sell that has been tested to perform under the widest temperature range is PuffinPaper. It remains pliable and writable at temperatures from -70°C / -94°F to 180°C / 356°F. The temperature at which your pen or your body can function will limit your work before the paper does. Other papers can have narrower ranges of temperature performance. They can become brittle in very cold weather. They might soften if you attach them to a hot billboard in direct sun. We don't recommend them for use in very hot or very cold situations. A polyester based laser film, XE waterproof paper has the strength and durability of plastic film and yet looks and prints like paper, offering professional print quality results for single or double sided printing.
