are you sure you are talking about the same paper (epsons highly confusing
naming "conventions" and all...).

Glossy Paper Photo Weight is only available in rolls in the US and is known
as Professional Glossy in the one sheet size it comes in  (13x19).

It has a sort of smooth gloss surface (not high gloss or pearl/lustre) and
the backing is an extremely creamy/yellowish off white that marks with
fingerprints whenever you touch it. In paper packs it comes with an equal
number of pink plain paper separator sheets.

Two major dealers have told me Epson has announced is discontinuation. (I
vaguely remember seeing the actual release from Epson)
