I am looking for waterproof paper for printing topo maps on an Epson inkjet photo printer. The National Geographic Adventure Paper seems to have been discontinued. In my internet search, the two brands of paper that come up for inkjet printers are Puffin and iGage. I was curious if anyone has experience with either and what they thought as well as if anyone has tried other brands.
Thanks!

I don’t need a goal destination. I need a destination that meets my goals.

I don't give out specific route information, my belief is that it takes away from the whole adventure spirit of a trip, if you need every inch planned out, you'll have to get that from someone else.

Re: Waterproof map paper for Inkject printers?
I got interested in this after I found Caltopo.com - printing custom maps of all the gnarly route segments has never been easier. So when I saw this "use photo paper" reply, I did a search to find out the difference between waterproof and water resistant

for my needs, water resistant is plenty good!
