TerraSlate Waterproof Paper, 5 MIL 8.5” x 11”, Laser Printer & Copy Machine Compatible, Durable & Rain/Weather-Proof Copy Paper, White Paper (50 Sheets)

I bought this for an art project and it works perfectly. I'm a poetry student and for a final project we had to reimagine one of our own written works into something new, so I turned one of my essays on alcohol into a snow globe. TerraSlate was perfect for the job. I wanted the illusion of being "regular" printer paper inside a liquor bottle, as opposed to, say, lined paper from a waterproof notebook. I also love that you can print on it, rather than having to buy a waterproof pen and hand-write on it. Just make sure you use a laser or laserjet printer (aka Xerox machine style), NOT inkjet.My first idea for this project was cutting up laminated paper. But I realized the seal would likely break. TerraSlate was a much more elegant solution. I love that you can cut it and it is still waterproof. Over a month later and it's still holding up with no signs of deteriorating. It's readable, looks great when printed and cut, and the illusion is perfect. My classmates were fooled! Before they knew it was waterproof paper, they asked if somehow liquor was preserving the paper. The end result looks exactly how I wanted it, without having to compromise on aesthetic.The only issue is the price. It's not cheap. But there's nothing else like it, so I'm happy I found it!

I used this to print out checklists and quick reference info for sailing in the Pacific Northwest, where it rains almost every day. I used a Xerox color laser printer and printed on both sides of each sheet. Every sheet came out perfectly. No jams, no melting, no curling, no running, no smearing. Vivid colors, clear text, even with small font sizes (6 point).As a test, I dunked one of them in water and held it there for tens of seconds, then pulled it out and tried to smudge the toner and tear the paper. The water just dripped off. No toner smudges whatsoever. Where I tried to tear the paper, it just sort of "dented" slightly.The one-star reviews (and some of the 3-star reviews) are from people who tried to use an inkjet, which the instructions clearly state is not supported. One person complained that the paper is not useful for painting ink on, which is clearly not the intended use case for this paper; it's meant for making waterproof durable laser printouts (or xerographic copies -- which I haven't tried). It's literally in the name of the product: "...Waterproof laser printer..." I wish Amazon provided a downvote button to indicate that those reviews are useless for assessing the utility of this product. Those reviews do serve to inform buyers to follow instructions though.Discovering this stuff makes me want to concoct more reasons to print waterproof documents.I'm curious to know how this compares with either Rite in the Rain paper (which is less expensive).

I was leaning to use the 7mil paper, but I wasn't sure how this would work for my needs. I decided to go with the 4 mil for experimenting and not waste more money if it didn't work out. 4 mil is quite sturdy, and 7 mil would be over kill. I can see how 10 mil is used for business cards.Anyways, so I'm getting tired of wasting or storing paper so I decided to go with a reuable note book. The idea was completely jacked from RocketBook. They said they used a synthetic paper, so I typed that in to Amazon, and TerraSlate came up. I got some of those FriXion ink pens from Pilot, and it works really well (you do have to wait a few seconds for the ink to dry, so it doesn't smear). The laser printed lined paper is water proof, and so it doesn't degrade with moist wiping. Saved myself about $20. I use the discbound notebooks (Arc/TUL/whatever), and I have to say I'm quite pleased.Keep in mind that you can use sharpies on these, and they will clean completely with alcohol, but it does strip the paper of its "paper-like coating", so it's just a plastic sheet. Also, dry erase markers behave the same as sharpies, I think that coating absorbs the ink. Haven't tried wet erase.

I bought these because I’m enjoying using a Rocketbook but also like using my discbound planner. Printed some reusable sheets using a laser jet printer. They work really well. I did not like the paper the week I used it for my weekly planner, but that is mostly because I like to use stickers and I use my weekly planner so much I kept smudging out my writing. It’s great for my other planning tools, though. Punching the disc holes was no problem and didn’t damage the paper. I think Frixion highlighters shouldn’t be used however—takes off the waterproofing if you erase them.

It printed great in my color laser printer, and it really is waterproof. Like, I literally soaked it in a bowl of water, and it still looked like new. It also is truly tear-resistant. I really couldn't quite tear it, although it was easy to cut with scissors. The only challenge I had was that I had intended to wrap it around a little dowel to make a flag, and it was too stiff to stay wrapped -- neither hot glue nor double stick tape would hold it even with a lot of creasing. So I had to change my plan to do the dowel through punched holes instead. Ha, I actually used Goo Gone to remove the tape residue after the dowel-wrapping failure, and the waterproof paper even held up to that! It's as thin as regular paper and it looks like nice glossy regular paper, but it definitely is stiffer than regular paper.

I lazer printed color tags for camellias using this plastic paper. The tags were surprisingly durable. They didn't rip off the plants easily and after 5 months in the sun and rain still retained good color and flexibility. Great for temporary labels, but probably not for permanent labels needing to last several years or more.
