1. What weight is the paper? The paper is comparable
to 24# bond.
2. Are colors
available? No, only white is available.
3. Is one side better
than the other? No, in fact we usually can not tell one side from the
other. On very careful inspection, one side will be slightly smoother than
the other.
4. Can you mark on the
paper with highlight pens? Yes, whiteboard pens, felt tip pens, ball
point pens, gas charged write-anywhere pens, inexpensive pens and expensive
pens all work well. (Gas charged write anywhere pens work best underwater.)
But be warned almost any ink will be indelible on this synthetic paper.
5. Is the paper UV
resistant? The paper is UV resistant, and toner based printing will
likely be very UV resistant. Ink jet inks typically are not UV resistant
and will fade normally in sunshine. Black ink lasts the longest, yellow ink
has the shortest life. If you need UV resistant results, you must use UV
resistant ink/toner. We recommend Epson K3 inks.
6. Is rolled stock
available? Yes we currently stock 24, 30 and 36 inch wide x 100 foot
long rolls on 2 inch cores. Other sizes are available on special order.
7. How tear resistant
is WP Paper? It tears more easily along the 'grain'. It is difficult to
get started, but once a tear begins, the paper will rip easily. If you are
concerned about ripping the paper, please call us and request some sample
sheets.
8. Does the paper work
with all inks? No. Some inks are not absorbed by the paper and can
almost be shaken off. Other inks (standard HP inks) work great. It is best
to get some
[
sample sheets ] from us to make sure your printer and ink combination will
work well. Epson K3 Ultrachrome inks are simply wonderful on this paper.
9. How should I
configure my printer? We set ours to 'plain paper'. Selecting 'Coated
Paper' will result in extra ink being placed on the paper which may not be
fully absorbed.
10. Can I purchase bulk
quantities? Yes, all of the sizes are available in unbranded bulk
packaging. We consider orders of more than 2,000 sheets to be bulk
quantities.
11. Can I get custom
cut sizes? Yes we can cut to any size with one edge less than 50",
however we will need at least two weeks advance notice. If your custom cut
size can not be efficiently cut from our master rolls, we will attempt to
run your order with our standard sizes to minimize waste which will save you
lots of money. You must call for a price quote which will take up to 48
hours to complete and you must typically purchase at least 2,000 sheets.
Availability depends upon our stock of master rolls!
Custom roll sizes and core sizes can also be produced, there
is typically a 100 to 200 roll minimum.
12. Can I use a spray
fix? Yes, we have successfully used several common spray fix products.
Most applications won't be enhanced much by the additional processing.
