Epson R260 (was Re: [Digital BW] New Costco paper-any info?)

Of course you're right, Sam. I agree that they are, ultimately, merely
steering customers to those of their papers that are best suited. But
Epson's language on their website implies more than that and I felt
compelled to voice my skepticism. Their claims that these ten-year-old
products are "optimized for use with Claria" and "designed for use
with the Ultra High-Def printers", products introduced this year,
strike me as a somewhat disingenuous and misleading way sell paper.
Many Epson papers are quite good, and for all I know they may indeed
be the best papers in the world for this ink, but I'd be shocked if
they were the only good options. Even from a marketing angle, I'm
puzzled by those statements, as they seem just as likely to backfire
as succeed.

But I am probably both ranting and digressing by now, so I'll shut up.
I wish you good luck and much fun in your quest, Sam.
