Bob, I agree that Epsons EAM (Now EEM) does print nearly as good as any of the expensive papers at a MUCH lower price. I have a lot of prints on this paper, (maybe 2000 or so) and I've not noticed any fading or color shifting. The EEM is surely thicker than the HWM. I haven't used any HWM for a while now, but it looks (in some print exchange prints) to be a tad whiter than it was when I tried it a long time ago. The whiteness now is awfully close. I think photo rag looks a hair nicer (More luxurious feel and look) than the EEM though. But it isn't worth the 10 times costlier price than the EEM. If I could afford it, I would use German Etching paper, as it is beautiful. But I think the Eclipse Satine Bright White is practically as nice, and is much less money, plus it's whiter! Jerry
