My problem recently and still to some degree is that all the
FreeStyle products were changing and then they added a couple more
lines in Edu and Edu Ultra. Not to mention Freestyle classic. As I
was trying to keep up with what is what and doing some research on
switching papers I would buy a small pack and then hear it had
changed and so my test was not trustworthy and I had to test again.
Do the Freestyle products come with datasheets?

That is a good thought and I should have checked them to see if they
matched or changed. My data sheets go pretty quickly into the paper
recycling. But now you mention that I think I will make a collection
of them.
My point is - if a product doesn't come with a datasheet, if there's
no public specification of what the product _is_, you don't know what it
is. I know that's it difficult to really understand how a film/paper
works just from reading the datasheet, and that's why test the actual
product, but, if there isn't a datasheet, there is likely no real
control over the characteristics of the product.
Going with a name-brand product that is well-specified will cost
more, but you know what you're getting. You get what you pay for.
As for Ray's frustration with not knowing *what* a new product is,
I don't know what to say. There's nothing deceptive about selling
a product as long as the product performs as claimed; if the claims
made for the product are not comprehensive, you have to expect
variation.
