Digital BW, The Print

Bob,

I'm not sure of how EEM and HWM compare visually, but the EEM coating is
supposed to be more tailored to pigments.  HWM is supposedly designed for
dye inks.  For example, in the Epson compatibility chart, EEM is shown as
compatible with UltraChrome, but Heavy Weight Matte is not.  See
http://www.epson.com/cmc_upload/0/000/018/673/Ink%20&%20Paper%20Compatibilit
y%20Guide.pdf

In the testing area, although the EEM is still in testing at Epson or
Wilhelm, they are not even bothering to test HWM with the pigmented inks.

So, I've just accepted the Epson statements about compatibility with
pigments and stuck with those papers that are supposed to be compatible.

  Paul, as my novice eye cannot discern a difference between HWM and EEM
  using MIS FSN inks, I've sort of settled on HWM because of price and
  availability. But I have a lot of respect for your sage advice, so
  help me understand the advantage to EEM.
