Also in the Netherlands the Epson site offers Archival Matte. No mentioning of Enhanced Matte now, though I'm pretty sure they have listed it. The driver of my Epson 3800 lists both.

Like all others, I've avoided it for serious printing. Find it a good proofing paper though. I guess I just hoped for a cheaper version of Photo Rag...

Is the issue "just" its amount of OBA, I recall it was not even acid free...?
