Review on Epson Premium Matte Presentation Paper - 100 Sheets (8.5X11 Inches) For Professional Quality Results by Brian Trotter

Buyer beware of false advertising for the sale of this product.

We use Epson Premium Presentation Paper MATTE for double-sided printing for our printing projects involving photos. Excellent product. However, when we ordered it last month my husband decided to order the 100 sheet pack of two-sided print paper because he planned on making family calendars for Christmas. The site shows that the 50 sheet pack was $9.97 and the 100 sheet pack was only $13.19 for presumedly the same paper ( at the same site ), so for a few dollars more it made sense to order the larger amount. Great. We printed 4 calendars (48 sheets) and spent hours choosing the best photos for the family members receiving the calendars. After the calendar side was printed he began putting the calendars back through the printer to print photos on the reverse side. The first two photos printed were terrible! He thought something was wrong with the printer, etc. Nope! To keep from going on ad nauseam, when clicking on the $13.19 one hundred sheet pack the tiny product code number changes from S041568 (50 sheets) two-sided paper to S042180 (100 sheets) ONE-SIDED PAPER! This was noted when we went back to the site to see why we received the wrong paper. Kind of like bate-and -switch operation. The packages for the 50 and 100 sheets look identical until you flip them over and read the small product code number on the upper right-hand corner of the opening flap. Now my husband is scrambling to get the calendars printed on time for Christmas and ordered another pack of 50 sheets of Epson double-sided paper (also paying extra shipping to get here today). Meanwhile, we have wasted all together 53 sheets of very expensive paper because we can't use the reverse side for printing. We would like to be compensated for the paper that was sent to us by a misrepresented product site, but that hardly makes up for the time, effort and expense we have incurred. Please revain, take a look at that item site and correct it!
