Waterproof paper is a synthetic material designed to withstand exposure to water, grease, and other environmental factors. Unlike coated or laminated papers, it’s waterproof throughout, meaning it won’t warp, dissolve, or peel when wet. TearFree Waterproof Paper is crafted from P.E.T. film, giving it both flexibility and strength for long-term performance, similar to the fine art canvas paper. This type of paper is ideal for environments where moisture is unavoidable, such as restaurants, outdoor venues, or industrial settings.
Do you need special ink for waterproof paper?
Most waterproof papers, including TearFree, are designed to work perfectly with standard laser toner and color copier ink, no special ink required. The toner fuses directly to the synthetic surface, creating sharp, fade-resistant prints that don’t smudge or run when exposed to moisture.
For inkjet printers, waterproof-compatible ink may be needed, as standard water-based inks can bead up on the surface. However, TearFree performs best with laser and offset printing, where results are consistently crisp and professional.
How to print on waterproof material?
Printing on TearFree Waterproof Paper is simple, it behaves much like regular paper but delivers industrial-grade toughness. For best results, use laser printers, digital presses, or offset machines, ensuring the print path remains dry and free of excessive heat, or even trying the accent opaque laser paper.
- Step 1: Load TearFree sheets one at a time or in small batches to prevent sticking and ensure smooth feeding.
- Step 2: Use the recommended laser or digital press settings for heavy or specialty paper to optimize toner adhesion.
- Step 3: Keep the print path dry and clean, as excess moisture or residue can affect print quality.
- Step 4: Once printed, allow the toner to fully cool before stacking or handling to prevent smudging.
