Digital BW, The Print

I've asked this before, but have not received an answer. Has ANYBODY on
this list seen an actual piece of paper from the "Endurance Matte" paper
that replaced Archival matte?  I'm still wondering if the water mark is
there. 

Except for the Hahnemuhle papers, there is no paper that gives a deeper
black than the Epson Archival matte. But I cannot use it with the
watermark.  Anyone used either the letter, 11x17, or 13x19 inch
"Endurance"?  Also, epson's 11x17 paper is short of 17 inches by about
an eighth of an inch, so you can't cut it evenly in two to get letter
size paper.
