Waterproof

Paper
1. What weight is the synthetic paper? The synthetic paper is comparable to 24# bond.
2. Are colors available? No, only white is available.
3. Is one size better than the other? No, it's the same paper cut to different sizes.
4. Can you mark on the paper with highlight pens? Yes, whiteboard pens, felt tip pens, ball point pens, gas charged write-anywhere pens, inexpensive pens and expensive pens all work well. (Gas charged write anywhere pens work best underwater.) But be warned almost any ink will be indelible on this synthetic paper.
5. Is the paper UV resistant? Yes, the paper is UV resistant, and toner based printing will likely be very UV resistant. Ink jet printing typically is not UV resistant and will fade normally in sunshine. Black ink lasts the longest, yellow ink has the shortest life.
6. Is rolled stock available? Not currently. If you have a need for rolls, please let us know what size you are interested in, if it becomes available we will call you.
7. How tear resistant is WP Paper? It tears more easily along the 'grain'. It is difficult to get started, but once a tear begins, the paper will rip easily. If you are concerned about ripping the paper, please email us and request some sample sheets.
8. Pencils? No Pencils. It is not possible to write on this Weatherproof Synthetic Paper with a pencil.
WPPaper is very porous and some inks (Hansa yellows) will diffuse through the film to the reverse side of the film. Some inkjet inks (typically generic inks) will fully migrate through the film, while some other ink formulations will not bond with the coatings and can literally shaken off the WPPaper.
WPPaper should be covered when stored as the coatings will absorb impurities in the air and discolor.
WPPaper left in contact with any surface with free color particles will absorb the particles. A piece of WPPaper placed in your wallet between two banknotes will absorb the ink from the notes.
After WPPaper is left underwater for several hours, the air pockets in the film will absorb water and the WPPaper will become translucent. If this occurs, you can blot the excess water from the film and it will air-dry to its original opaque state.
WPPaper may be overprinted (varnished) with oleoresinous (oil-based resin) coatings to seal the absorptive properties of the film after the desired image has been applied. This will provide good resistance to coffee stains and discoloration from environmental impurities. We have also had good success with spray-on fixatives.
WPPaper will feed through most laser printers and copiers. Multiple feeds are common if tray feeding is attempted unless the WPPaper is adequately fanned immediately prior to printing.
WPPaper readily accepts aqueous inkjet prints. The highly absorptive substrate and coating accepts aqueous ink and sets quickly yielding excellent results. Colors will be slightly lighter and less saturated than those obtained on plain or photo-inkjet papers.
If both inkjet and toner printing will be performed on the same sheet, the inkjet image should be applied first as the fuser stage of laser printers slightly modifies the top surface of weatherproof paper.
