When you go to epsonsupplies.com (the official Epson accessories 
store), you get this message when you search on "S041143":

    PRODUCT NUMBER: S041143 is currently unavailable. Please call
    1-800-873-7766 for future availability.

So how did Shopper.com get this paper product ahead of Epson's 
official outlet?! ...and when did "Super B" go from 13" x 19" to 
13.73" x 19.62"?  Is this product being made especially for the ESC 
Photo 1200, to make use of its wider media path (wider than the Photo 
EX)?  How w-i-d-e can the 1200 really go?  Epson's stats say "13 
inches", but they said "11 inches" for the Photo EX and we all 
eventually found out that the media path was really 12" wide and 
could easily take 11.875" media or even do a full 12" in a pinch.

John (Georger), is this why you're making "...a stock size of 13.7 x 
19.6 in the next week or so."?  And what Weber-Valentine paper 
surfaces do you plan to carry in this size initially?

I've been repainting my house every night during the past week  ...I 
come back to this discussion group and find I've fallen behind on all 
the "important" things in life   ;-)
