Why buy waterproof paper and write with a standard ink? Medium-width pens generally work best. Fine and extra-fine points can cut into the paper under heavy pressure. Broad-point pens often deposit more ink than the paper can absorb and result in smearing. When writing on a paper that accepts pencil, we recommend hard, broad leads with blunt points.

Tolerant to fluctuations in temperatures - once printed, can be used in temperatures ranging from -40°c to 120°c Spray-on-Fixatives: These can be used but the paper might not accept additional printing or writing. Always test before using on anything important.

Our first choice for outdoor printing is a laser printer. Why? Because they apply solid toner particles that enter pores in the paper and stay there. Some inkjet printers apply dye-based inks that can be mobilized when wet. Avoid smearing and excess ink: We recommend printing using the "light" or "draft" or "economy" settings of your printer. Printing in "high quality" or "dark" mode usually applies more ink than the paper can absorb. That will cause ink smearing or ink that does not dry. If the ink smears or does not dry in "normal or "standard" mode see if you can print with a "light" or "economy" mode. For best results use the lightest printer setting that produces readable print. With waterproof PVC options available on posters, which should you choose for your outdoor promotions: banner or poster printing?

Channel Islands; Inflatable dinghy price on request Channel Islands; Flares not available to ship at this time A standard ballpoint pen usually works well on these papers. But, we highly recommend using a pen with waterproof ink. Why buy waterproof paper and take chances with your ink? Soluble inks and gel pen inks can wash right off. Be sure to test your pen, printer and paper combination before going into the field or starting a project. It's not the performance of your paper that determines your level of protection - it is how your paper, writing implement and printing work together. 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. UV resistant – robust durability for prolonged exposure to sunlight. Estimated at 6 months depending on the machine used to print and the intensity of exposure (a UV varnish can be applied to further extend life of UV resistance)
