The possibility is that very little EPSON staff may actually know..  So 
much of this is proprietary.. Japan might well tell them it is the same, 
if the coating is the same, but the base is slightly different.

Heck, the small differences Paul shows in the spectro could be the 
result of the same paper specs being outsourced to a new contractor for 
production of the uncoated stock.. Sadly, I doubt EPSON would find 
noting that necessary when talking about the paper in the overall 
sense..   Witness how we found ot about the Chinese ink outsourcing, 
people finding their old profiles were not working..
