No.  It is coated.  It also is not really an archival paper in terms of the
traditional standards of achivalness (i.e., the museum standards of 100
years and acid free and the like).  As compared to some other inkjet papers
and even some RC photographic papers, it may be more archival or as
archival.  Remember, we are talking here about the archival quality of the
paper per se not the inks or paper and ink combinations - just as the
archival quality of traditional RC photographic papers is based on the paper
alone independent of the particular photographic emulsions used or
processing chemestry.

I had hoped that I had made these qualifications clear; but evidently not.
Sorry about not being as clear as I thought I was being.

Are you saying that the Epson Matte Heavyweight paper, which is what they
claim has the greatest longevity, isn't coated?
