Is there a waterproof paper that is good to use with an inkjet printer?

Some photo paper is some isn't.

I have a Samsung photo printer that uses a heat transfer ribbon instead of ink and it's completely waterproof.

See that? That's the lightbulb going off...only took 2 pages of posts to figure it out. wink

Laminating would probably work, but the edges where you make the cut might be compromised. Plus, in my experience laminated paper doesn't do well when you fold and unfold it a lot...

I definitely would not want to go with a laminated solution.

The last time I wrecked my smartphone I used PocketMod to keep track of myself until I could get a replacement (sad that my world has come to this but that's how many of us live these days).

I also experimented with the Hipster PDA:

http://www.diyplanner.com/templates/official/hpda

It's the same idea as PocketMod only instead of sectioning a sheet of paper you print onto index cards. The template download has a huge number of templates and in many paper sizes so you can pick what size of index card best suits your needs....or pocket.

Personally I like PocketMod a bit better because I can print one a day and keep things tiny. I found with HPDA I'd have more cards every day...just in case. Plus you can print a PocketMod almost anywhere...not the case with index cards.
