Subject: Re: Waterproof Inkjet paper
Greetings.

Don't know how it would work in an inkjet printer (never tried it), but
we had good luck a few years back with the waterproof paper (really some
type of writable plastic) made by  Nalgene.  The downside is that it's
expensive, but it was VERY durable underwater for data sheets, etc. and
could be run through modern, low-temp. copy machines.  Pencils worked
great u/w, and it took permanent markers (Sharpies) quite well.
