Epson Matte Papers Question

2004-09-11 by Kim Fullbrook

Epson Enhanced Matte (also known as Archival Matte) is a popular paper for
black & white work.

Recently I visited B&H in NYC to buy a 17 inch wide roll of EEM. The paper I
was given had the Epson product code SO 41746 and was actually labelled as
"Singleweight Matte". At the time I was assured that this is the same paper
as EEM but now I'm home and have surfed the web am not so sure.  I can't
find SO 41746 on the Epson US web site, but on the Epson UK site it shows
both this paper type and EEM under different codes which makes me think they
are different

B&H are a reputable supplier and their web site still shows this Epson
product code as EEM - I'm sure I can't be the first person to find this
discrepancy.  For now I've not broken the seal on the roll in case I need to
send it back.  Is there anyone here who has used "Singleweight Matte" who
can comment ?  Maybe it is the same, or maybe it's just as good. ?

Kim.
