I use mostly EEM for value and quality. Epson paper is often on sale 
(half-off at CompUSA every few months). I tried Premier Premium Matte 
and liked the look but found that my 1280 didn't like the coating. I 
wonder if others find their printer feed rollers slip after using 
some coated stocks? It doesn't make the initial grab properly. As 
soon as I put Epson paper back it works fine.
