Re: Epson Matte Papers Question

2004-09-11 by Antonis

Kim,

my vote would be to return it and get the paper somewhere else.
Unless it says the right thing on the box, with the EEM specs, code etc
it's not worth your trouble to find out the hard way. Epson paper names
are confusing enough as it is. The only way to know what you are buying 
is to stick with the name and code of the  particular  paper you want.
Look at Lexjet as an example (prices may be too high to buy) of how codes
and names seem more consistent...
