"This paper prints matte and looks good when kept completely dry, however it is not at all waterproof. Yes, I printed on the right side, yes I used inkjet printer, yes I used recommended printing setting and it is not waterproof or water resistant like they stated in their packaging and product images. The ink bled right away when in contact with water. It is however tear resistant as they stated. But to make it water resistant you have to clear coat it or stick on a separate laminating sheet. Why call it waterproof paper if its not waterproof on its own. Tear-Proof paper on its own would make more sense."

So far it seems to be pretty durable. The big surprise for us was how beautiful the colors of our prints came out! Nothing in the product description mentioned this, but something about the vinyl material makes all the colors so vibrant. Its a stark contrast from regular white paper even though we used the exact same printer settings.On the downside, the sheets are surprisingly thinner than I was expecting. The product description says they're 7mil thick. I didn't really understand what that would mean until until we got them, but now it's clear that they feel thinner than a typical sheet of paper. But on the upside, the material feels very satisfying and high quality when handling, so we're ultimately fine with the thickness.This isn't going to become our everyday printing paper. But for times that we want something a little classier, this may become our go-to paper.jnor

I got this paper because I needed tags that are water resistant and wouldn't tear easy. I wasn't sure if it would work in my Canon G3272 but decided to try it anyway. One word, Fantastic!!! This paper printed with high quality and is definitely tear resistant. It worked seamlessly with my Canon printer with no smearing or other issues. Dried very quick and did not jam.david donchess

This is terrific for printing out your tactical communications matrix for encryption. In the field, you will need your codes easily accessible and weatherproof. Print them off onto this paper and them cut them out.anthony devito

Test prints were great, and I had no issues with smudging. I was trying to make hole punches in this material but very difficult.What Customers Talk About
