Epson Watermark Photo Paper Question, Help Please

[drcy]

As mentioned the name Epson was first coined in 1975, so that's all the info you need. Epson was a brand name of the Seiko corporation, Seiko famous both for watches and computer printers. Epson literally translates to 'Son of Electronic Printer (EP)," with the brand name originally coined for a second generation electronic printer of Seiko's.

Thank again for the help. That's what I figure.Just was surprised and very disappointed. Wanted to double check, in case I was missing something before I contact them to get a refund....ugh... Not sure why they didn't catch this?!

That listing of theirs is pretty damning for an auction house. "100% old, original and authentic"??? Wow....

I totally agree ! Very sad..

Do you have it in hand yet?

To me looking at the left edge of their scan it looks like two layers. The back scan also isn't showing the corner crease that's obvious in the front view.

I think there's a good chance it's an old photo glued to a piece of modern laser print photo paper.

Hey Steve,

Yes, I have it in hand. It's a reprint. The "bent" corner..is smooth front and back. It's part of the image, in which the "bent" corner is printed on the photo paper.

The issue is being resolved.

WOW! I don't know where to start. Where to end - Caveat Emptor!

Interesting. Epson paper must be thicker than I'd have thought. The look of layering along one edge was convincing.

Good to hear it's being handled.
