Question 1

Is this the same as the "weatherproof" paper from online labels for Inkjet printers? I've never seen it marketed as waterproof instead of weatherproof

Accepted Answer

This is Online Labels' product code OL177WJ.  It is the same product that is marketed as weatherproof for inkjet printing on the Online Labels' website.

Question 2

will this paper work for water sport purposes.. ie: to make stickers that will be applied to surfboards, jets skies, etc.

Accepted Answer

This item (Online Labels' product code OL177WJ) is made from a very durable material.  The label material has a water-fast inkjet coating that is designed to repel water and it has a strong, permanent adhesive.  That being said, I am not sure that I would recommend it for the uses you have mentioned.   The label material itself will likely hold up to the conditions, but I am not sure how the ink from your inkjet printer will hold up when exposed to sunlight & salt water.  You may see the colors fade quickly when exposed to UV light & salt water.  The results will vary depending on your inkjet printer and the colors used so I would highly recommend testing the product to see if you are happy with the results.  Online Labels is happy to provide some free sample sheets for testing.  You can request samples here: https://www.onlinelabels.com/samples

Question 3

Is this completely waterporoof?

Accepted Answer

Maybe they sent me the wrong sticker paper but what i received is DEFINITELY NOT waterproof. One drop of water smudged all of my ink and ruined the sticker. Good thing I tested them before mailing for my orders.

Question 4

After you have applied the sticker and allowed enough time for ink to dry can you spray with a clear coat for extra protection if using outside?

Accepted Answer

Yes - you can do that. Here is an article on the topic.  https://www.onlinelabels.com/articles/krylon-weatherproof-waterproof-label-overcoat-spray.htm
