For use in inkjet printers, we prefer PuffinPaper. It is a waterproof synthetic paper that is similar to a thin plastic sheet. Customers include hikers, hunters, firefighters, greenhouse owners, contractors, police, fishermen, scientists, and military organizations. You can write on this paper with a standard ball-point pen, but we recommend using a waterproof pen for best results. This paper does not accept pencil.

PuffinPaper works in inkjet printers that apply a pigment-based ink. You can determine if your inkjet cartridge has pigment-based in by checking the package that it was shipped in or checking the webpage where it was purchased. (Manufacturers like to brag about their inks when they are pigment-based.) Pigment-based inks also produce a document that is less likely to fade from exposure to sunlight. PuffinPaper is not intended for use in inkjet printers that apply water-soluble or dye-based inks. PuffinPaper also works in plain-paper copiers and laser printers.
