Well, looking forward to see how it prints for you...

The color differences could simply be a result of age, we saw some very 
old and yellowish  EAM out there towards the end of production (as 
reported by some here and elsewhere)..

As for the back, I would expect some difference since the logo is not 
printed on it..

At least we'll have some valid measurements.

Who knows, I could be wrong, won't be the first time I've been the 
recipinent of less than perfect information..

OTOH, that EPSON rep was still wrong about other papers and inks, so, 
 given I had my info fromother EPSON and non-EPSON sources, it made 
logical sense to go with that.
