Kim, I have never heard of singleweight EEM in the U.S.  However, I see that
in this .au site "singleweight matte paper" is listed as 120gsm as a "low
cost matte paper" whereas EEM is listed as a "high quality matte paper" at
189 gsm.  Contributing to the confusion, all the EEM I have on hand is
listed as 192gms.  I buy a lot of stuff from B&H with never a problem.  I
would think that if the clerk misspoke they will make it right.  Sorry I
don't have more info.
