You talking letter size? When was the last time you purchased? I would have
said you were overpaying, but if you are getting it without the nonsense,
maybe not.

A couple of months back Epson, in their infinite wisdom, had decided to
decorated the back of their prints with their name and arrows running down
the long direction of the back of each sheet. If the Strathmore watermark
could be called elegant on their cotton writing papers, the Epson
"watermark" could be called schlock.

You are blessed not to know of what I speak.

However, due to customer pressure Epson said they would remove the watermark
in future releases, but I didn't think we were supposed to get clean stock
for a few more months. I don't know if you got old stuff or new. The Matte
Heavyweight never got the marks (I don't think), you sure you don't have
that?
