It was two 500 sheet orders about 4 months apart. Rising is very uptight about platinum/palladium printers and have said that their paper is not intended for the purpose and they do not recommend it for that purpose. I believe the lot #'s have been removed so that it is harder to tell them that there is a difference in the paper even in the same lot #, which there is. The big 500 sheet cartons that the 100 sheet packages come in still carry the lot numbers. Now this may of been just something I experienced but the last 10 100 sheet containers did not in fact have lot #'s.

David, Was that one order of 1000 sheets in 10 packages or 10 different 100 sheet orders? I could see that if you ordered directly, they (Rising) would know what you had received from them and not bothered with a lot #. Or did you have them make a special batch for you? Once you had commented working closely with Rising on some paper problems.

Carl & Darryl,
Lot #s are printed on the package that the paper is shipped in. This may not, however, be the same package that you get it in. Paper is shipped in lot sizes, 50sheet, 100sheets, up to 500 sheets at a time. If you ask, many sales people will be able to include that information for you when you place your order. If you order a 100 sheets the package may have the information on it. You can call/contact the manufacture of the paper and they will be able to tell you when it was made if needed. Paper supplies should be rotated on the shelf, but no guaranties on that. And as several people have mentioned, the storage of the paper will affect how it works.

One question, how will you know your order is from the same batch? Paranoid me,
maybe, but I worry about many such trivial thoughts. ;->
So, yes It is prudent, if good prints were made from a specific lot # and that someone assures you can order more as needed from the same lot #.
