TerraSlate Paper 7 Mil Waterproof Laser Printer/Copy Paper (A4 Size) (25 Sheets)

if your wondering what this is like it seems and feels just exactly the same as what the new £5 notes are printed on, so creases and indentations show on it. quality seems fine

El papel tiene buena pinta al tacto, parece resistente y duradero, pero no se puede imprimir en el con una impresora láser. Hice varias pruebas imprimiendo lo mismo en papel normal y en TerraSlate y este último siempre salía manchado por todos lados, con lineas e incluso desconchados del toner por no agarrar bien en el papel. Una pena tener que tramitar una devolución y buscar otro producto por lo que pone en la caja.

再生紙なので少し黄みがかっておりますが、両面つるつるで厚みもあるしっかりした紙でした。

Terra Slate Paper is AMAZING! It has a lovely feel to it and is really nice to write on. It also prints beautifully with a laser printer. Don't let its beauty fool you into thinking it is delicate though... It is SO TOUGH!! It is truly waterproof and almost impossible to tear (even the regular weight paper is the same). In my photo is the insert that came with the paper - it is printed on the thinner, regular weight paper - the company even challenge you to try to rip it! I tried to rip it (quite hard too!) - you can see that although it did leave a crease, it did not rip at all! This extra thick paper (8 mil) is more designed for cover pages or times when you want a really nice heavyweight paper.. I was skeptical that it would be as heavy duty as listed but it truly is a cover weight paper... Another really fabulous application for this paper is a DIY style reusable notepad. It is the same style of paper used in popular brands of re-usable notebooks. You can write on it with any erasable ink pens and then just use a damp cloth to erase it completely. This Terra Slate paper holds up perfectly for this application... I am very impressed!

A bit pricey at $1.40/sheet ($35.00 for 25 sheets at time of review) but this is something that you would only use for a very special printing project. The paper feels like the kind of stuff they use to make fishing licenses. It's waterproof and tear-resistant, having a kind of plastic film over it. It printed nicely in my Xerox color laser printer without smudging or jamming. Make sure to set the paper type to something heavier than regular paper, like cardstock, when printing to it so that the printer will know how to handle it. I'm using it to make signs that have to be posted on windows and glass doors where they will need to remain for years. It really fits the purpose for that seeing that having used paper signs previously, only led to them being destroyed by beverage spills, weather, humidity, etc. My only complaint is the price per sheet but, then, everything has gone up crazy in price these past couple of years.

First, my test: I cut a strip and wrote on the TerraSlate waterproof copy paper using four different types of pencils and pens. Then I let them dry for about half an hour, then I put the paper under the faucet and ran the water just long enough to get everything wet, then finally, I took a paper towel and wiped the writing. The gel pen was obviously the biggest loser. If you don't wipe the the water off, I believe the other three would be ok. Without a doubt, the permanent fine point Sharpie was the absolute winner. Now the reason I got this waterproof paper wasn't to put anything outside the rain. I wanted to make small notepads for my friends to have in their shower for whenever those brilliant ideas pop into their heads. As long as they don't put the notepad close to the spray of the water, I don't think there will be any problem for anyone to use a pencil or a pen in the shower with this waterproof notepad. I am so excited to start making my waterproof notebook gifts.
