Waterproof printer paper that can be wiped clean

By at 1:35 pm Monday, Mar 13

You can buy "water-proof" printer paper for a little more than a dollar per sheet -- the retailer claims that it is water-proof, crumple-resistant and can be wiped clean.
Toughprint InkJet paper is suitable for Colour and Black & White inkjet printers/copiers. The paper is ideal for printing maps for outdoor use as it is waterproof, resists crumples and tears and any moisture or dirt can be wiped clean. The micro porous surface delivers vibrant colours and crisp clear high definition photographic prints. Suitable for printing double sided.

Update: Several readers note that a similar product has been marketed by National Geographic as "Adventure Paper." Andy sez, "I've seen it in sporting goods stores where they have printed a map on it, then stuffed it in a Nalgene bottle filled with water."
