My advice is to hold off on using EEM for now..

There are shortages of it being reported which would seem to indicate 
Japan has put a hold on shipping new stock. One way to interpret that 
would be that they are finally acknowledging they have a problem and 
trying to fix it..

Conjecture offlist is currently focusing on:

1)    The possibility that Mitsubishi was using a new coating machine / 
workflow.

2)    They bought uncoated substrate from:

a)    A new source

b)     A source who somehow changed their own workflow / production..

I CAN say that EPSON USA is WELL aware of the problem and actively 
investigating..
