I do underwater fish and coral reef surveys in the tropics. Our organization works with a lot of volunteer scuba divers, so we prepare fish ID sheets and data collection forms on DuraCopy 6511. We prepare a "PDF" file of the form on a flash drive and take it to the local copy center where they run the DURAcopy paper through their regular color laser printer. After a week or more of use buy scuba divers making multiple dives a day, the DURACopy sheets and the images on them look as they did when they came out of the copier. We use inexpensive plastic clipboards to hold the sheets. We write on them with standard pencil lead, or "waterproof" (space) pens. The sheets can be erased and re-used. We''ve been doing this for several years without a hitch. If this stuff disappeared from the market, we would have a problem.
This waterproof paper is actually a plastic so it is 100% waterproof and you can print on it with a laser printer which have waterproof toner. A warning though, this paper is twice as heavy as regular paper which is really noticeable if you have printed a lot. It is also tear proof. If you just need water resistent paper the standard rite-in-the-rain paper is a little cheaper and works very well too. I use this for printing quick reference ID guides for use in the Amazon (jungle not the online retailer).
