Hi, Jake, and all.  The price for 20 sheets is equivalent to 50 sheets of
Letter size (8.5 x 11 in.) EEM purchased same location -- about $20.
Interestingly enough, the outside of the Staples Professional Double Sided
Matte Paper 'box' (Cherry RED color) is printed in both Spanish and English.
The paper is described only as:  Heavy Weight, perfect for high quality,
true matte photographs, ideal for presentations, Bright White (Uh-Oh,
OBA's??), Acid Free, Fast Drying.  While the box has references to Staples
web pages, the paper doesn't show up there -- or I should say, I didn't find
it!  The box says it's Quality Tested and 100% guaranteed -- SIX MONTHS from
date of purchase!  Mrs. C says I can't have it till Saturday!  I'll keep you
posted as to whatever details are inside.  Gotta try this 'stuff.'  Vic
