Not at all. The EAM, or even Epson Matte Heavyweight, are just perfect for
proofs. And if you use a textured paper like Torchon, the Epson Watercolor
Paper is a great proofing paper, but it only comes in 13x19" sheets (or
perhaps rolls). Even at 13x19, I paid a buck a sheet; one could cut it down
if they wanted too.
