Does it really work? Can i colour copy bits of OS maps onto it using my all-in-one inkjet printer and it wont turn to sweaty, moist, indistinct mush in my jersey pocket? Standard inks do the job? This would be dead handy if it works.

Works great, normal inkjet fine. I dont copy maps but print from anquet.

I've not heard of this stuff.

You can print onto waterproof paper using a water-soluble inkjet, and it works? Arthur C Clarke(*) was right, that's magic.

Itll work copied, and you can just scrunch it up and stuff it in your pocket, but it is better printed from software, no creases etc.
Im using an oldish version of anquet, but maps dont get updated often anyway, Ive only got Scotland at 50,000 but ill happily give you a shot of the discs if you want to try it.

Use woodchip wall paper - it does not soak up any water and is virtually indescructable
