<http://www.epson.com/cgi-bin/Store/ProductMediaSpec.jsp?BV_UseBVCookie=yes&
infoType=Overview&oid=-9824&category=Paper+%26+Media> , "... Velvet Fine Art
Paper. With a base that is 100% cotton rag, buffered and acid free, this
paper is coated with our popular Enhanced Matte coating ..."

the same dmax as EEM, with which it shares it apparently shares a coating.
