Jerry,

When you compare EEM and EAM paper side by side, the EEM is whiter. I 
can't imagine ANYone not being able to
see the difference. It's quite noticeable.  As to the Logo, what can I 
say?  MINE does NOT have it. That too is quite
obvious to anybody who looks.  They can't therefore be IDENTICAL papers, 
can they?  Also, the blacks simply are
NOT as deep as the EAM paper. VERY close, but there's a difference. The 
EEM  and Eclipse Satine Bright White
paper seems to me to have identical blacks.
