    Greetings from the land of big bears and little daylight.

    A local hunting guide needs double-sided Tyvek tags for clients' trophy hides. These things must not only be waterproof, but also able to withstand the strong chemicals used in the tanning process. The sample I saw had faded from bright orange to pale pink at the tannery, but was still legible.

    I tested some thin Tyvek I found on eBay, with a Pixma Pro 9000 and An Epson Stylus Photo 2200. It bled through, and wasn't waterproof after drying 90 minutes. I will be buying heavier stuff presently, but how do I handle it when it gets here?

    Running it through the offset seems like a waste for a small order (tags for dozens of bear hides). I'll even screen print them if I have to. Please help.
