Digital BW, The Print

According to the latest Epson distributor price book dated 6/2002 
that I have as a reference, the Enhanced Matte is only available in 
the large format rolls. My distributor also confirms that he has no 
pricing or SKU for Enhanced Matte in smaller sheet sizes.

Looking at Epson's website shows Archival Matte in sheet sizes, and 
Enhanced Matte in rolls.

So, to answer the question below, NO I haven't seen a box of letter 
size Enhanced Matte paper...and, I haven't seen any offical 
literature to suggest that there is such a beast...yet...

The mystery continues...
