Yep, early on in the first days of the MIS quadtones it was also one of the papers I tested along with the few others that were around at the time (Somerset Velvet etc). While it was a nice paper, it was very warm. No, if it's still the same paper as then, it really doesn't stand up very well. I was recently cleaning out my collection of old half used papers. In there were several sheets from that original Concorde Rag packet - very significant yellowing going in maybe an inch from the edges, as well as mottling all over each sheet of about 10 left (all unused). Now, these weren't kept in "archival" conditions - but it's basically around 20c and low humidity most of the time. In addition, they were in with several other lots of paper from the same vintage. Some old Somerset Velvet uncoated - which looked just fine. Some old Epson Photo Glossy which had a bit of the expected yellowing around the edges, various matt papers, which again, pretty much looked fine. The Concorde Rag was unusable. tim a
