Digital BW, The Print

I had at one point thought that "Enhanced" matte was the name Epson used in
the US only to avoid lawsuits over the misrepresentation of the paper's
archival keeping properties.  It appeared from their non-US web sites that
"Archival" matte was the name used in the rest of the world.

But, of course, large re-sellers often trans-ship products to get the best
prices.

Then an Epson rep told me the printing on the back was the difference, and
that seemed to be consistent with what I saw on my various batches.

Now I'm wondering, again, what if any rhyme or reason there is for their
naming.

I'm still suspicious that they want to "have their cake and eat it too" -- a
cheap, good looking paper that they can sell to people as having archival
keeping qualities.

To add to the confusion:

I have boxes of Enhanced Matte that have printing on the back!
