Last time I saw documentation on this it was stated that HWM was optimised for all Epson printers but EEM was specially optimised for UltraChromes.

In my experience the HWM yellows *marginally* less than EEM - perhaps it has less brighteners in it.

I've found them interchangeable for BW printing.

But why not get a cheap acid-free paper like Hawkmountain Sparrowhawk or PremierArt Fine Art Matte? Comparable price, better in the long term and double sided, too.

Good luck,
Richard
