TerraSlateWaterproof Laser Printer Paper – 8.5"x11", Laser Printer & Copy Machine Compatible (50 Sheets)

Printed posters for outdoor use. They stood up to snow & sleet perfectly, after 3 weeks took them down and they were still in pristine condition, no fading of laser printed colors & paper retained flat shape. Kinda wow’ed!!

We use this product for a register template. It last a lot longer than regular paper, is super tear resistant as well as grease resistant. Our graphics printed on it fine as well. Would buy again.

This is a very durable yet thin paper that works well for printing menus. It is water resistant so it repels stains.

I got this thinking it was the same as stone paper, however after researching this it doesn't appear that it is the same. This looks to be a high grade polyester where as stone paper is a mixture of superfinely ground stone mixed with HDPE plastic. So similar, but not the same. In either case they are only environmentally friendly if you use them in conditions where you will reuse the paper a lot. Being sheets of plastic it doesn't sound like paper when it moves. it sounds like sheet plastic. Its hard to describe but it is different. The paper is pure white and super smooth feeling as though it has no tooth at all.So the first thing to point out is that while this is waterproof, that only means that the paper itself won't be damaged by water. What you have printed or written on it will only be as waterproof as your medium of choice used to do the printing or writing. That means that any water based inks will come off easily or make a mess if it gets wet. Oil based inks, solvent based inks and laser printers will do much better on it for permanence. None of these washed off the paper. Pencil works on it and while it doesn't wash off easily, it smears on this even easier than it does on wood pulp paper.I did test writing on it with a number of different types of ink and I didn't see anything have a problem with beading or incomplete lines. What I did find is that with cheap fountain pens the ink tends to flow out and you end up with very blobby letters once dry. Just as expected the water based inks all washed off easy under running water, even after letting them dry over night. They all stained the paper slightly and left a ghost image of the writing. Oil based and solvent based stuff didn't wash off. I let the inks dry over night as on this paper inks take longer to dry as it doesn't absorb the liquid from the ink which aids in the drying. Inks can take a lot longer to dry on it and many inks will always smudge, no matter how long you let them dry. Of course laser printing doesn't wash off as it is heat bonded to the paper.As for being tear-proof, it is definitely very resistant to tearing. With my bare hands I couldn't tear a sheet of it, it just tends to stretch and deform. However if you get even a slight nick in the edge of the paper, it tears easily at that stress point. It cuts easily with scissors, X-Acto, and other razor bladed cutters.Knowing it is made from plastic, I was concerned about running it through a laser printer, knowing that the Fuser gets quite hot in most of them, I didn't want my paper melting. However doing some digging I found that most laser printer Fusers don't get hot enough to melt polyester. So I tried it and it works great.Ultimately this a very specific use case paper. You won't want to use this for making shopping lists are anything you will throw out after a single use. Where this excels in use in places where the documents will be used over, and over, and over again. Menus, manuals, operating instructions, and anything that will get wet regularly will be where you want to use this most of the time. It is by far the most expensive paper I've ever owned at $73.99 for 50 sheets of 8.5" x 14" paper.I rate this high, but that is only because I understand what I've got and how best to use it. If you go into this thinking it is some kind of special wood pulp paper, it will seem to be ridiculously over priced. I'll be honest, I don't know if its price matches its utility, but it is definitely worth more than your regular wood pulp papers.

It blew my mind to see the people are using this stuff for office pronouncing flyers and what not. Per the first of all this stuff is crazy expensive. Second of all I’ve never seen a flyer or a memo that was so important.For me the use of this stuff is obvious. Emergency information that is durable and resistant to harsh environments. For instance I can print a tiny card with important phone numbers at a very small font to get as many of them as possible on a wallet size card that I can put in my wallet or my kids wallet. I can print out emergency information like CPR and Heimlich maneuver stuff again for kids or for inserting in first aid for kits. I am going to make a bunch of survival guides to tell us in our camping backpacks. Stuff like I how to make knots. I’ve been tying knots for decades but I still can’t remember how to tie the complicated ones when I need to. Nots can be life or death in a wilderness situation. I soak in the edible plant guides, etc. I think you’re getting the picture.Instead of buying those expensive survival cards that have freely available information that are presented in a convenient form factor you can make your own here with tear proof waterproof extremely durable print outs that will work with the laser printers that almost everyone has access to even if you don’t own one. And this stuff really does the trick. I have some labels that are similar for my thermal printer that are impossible to tear, incredibly durable and yet the type will not wear off and they will be alarmed when you want to remove them quite easily. It’s magic and so is the stuff.Despite the outrageous cost I think this stuff is worth every penny. Just ask yourself if your phone all the sudden loses charger stop working do you have access to the information you need? Well I can print out important information and then little cards and foldable tiny books and these will go in backpacks, cars, book bags and first aid kits and places around the house where they might get wet etc.So far besides the phone numbers and first aid information I’ve got sheets about how to build shelters, how to safely build and start fires, how to orient yourself if you get lost or using nature the sky and stars. Treatments for hypothermia and how to insulate yourself against extreme temperatures. All basic guys survival stuff. We’re not end of the world survivalists around here but we do a lot of camping and accidents happen when you go out into the wilderness. Survival is survival no matter where you do it.I also have a whole series of steps to do if my children get in an accident or an encounter with law-enforcement. I’ve asked them to keep the cards in their wallet and purses.And then I have a few star charts that I can use at night with a telescope where using a phone or tablet might kill your night vision. But you can read this with the red lamp.This stuff is amazing. It basically allows you to make your own customized durable books and pamphlets and cards. I just wish it wasn’t so expensive. it also works with space pens and other right in the rain items. So that’s a great plus. Except for the price the product is perfect.1 ⭐ Doesn’t work at all or has a terrible flaw. Dangerous or egregiously misrepresented. Incomplete.2 ⭐ Functions for the most part but in ways unexpected or not how it’s supposed to. May be unreliable or very cheaply made. Sometimes for things too overpriced.3 ⭐ An average product that works fine but may be too expensive. I would not be excited about buying again but might. I would only recommend with serious caveats. 3 stars is not as bad as Amazon treats it. They consider it negative rather than average.4 ⭐ A very good product that I would buy or an average product at a very value price that meets all expectations performs wonderfully and I would purchase again and reckoned to others.5 ⭐ A phenomenal product that exceeds expectations and/or represents an unusual value. Would absolutely purchase again and not only recommend to others, I would advocate for it.

I've never tried paper like this, having always laminated whatever I needed to protect from moisture and tearing. At almost $1.50 a sheet, be sure to proof your work before hitting that print button!I wasn't sure which thickness to select, so I tried thick and normal. From what I can tell, printing on normal had better results. I saw a lot of white pixels in the text and images on thick setting while normal had almost none whatsoever. Now that I closely inspect this paper, it is as thin as normal copy paper. So I expect the extra gap allowing for thicker paper when printing caused that poor result. So, select normal thickness.Oh, and I tested on a single sheet - printing on both sides. And you do not see any bleed through of the printing on the opposite side unless you hold up to a light. This is perfect for things like menus. I intend to use these for quick reference guides in my workshop, so I'll see how saw dust, grease, sprays, stains, and solvents will affect it over time.
