That's very interesting. WIlhelm did some impressive tests rating  Concorde Rag and the 
Roland fully pigmented archival inkset several years ago but he never said WHICH Concord 
Rag it was he tested. Those ratings were W 150+ years or so. Later I heard that some of 
the carbon pigment inksets were giving less than stellar results with that paper. I know 
one thig, the roll variety of the warm Concorde Rag ( Rolland also distributes an off white, 
not really warm version also which makes it even more confusing and sometimes they call 
that Providence Rag ) is thicker but simply not even the same paper as the thinner warm  
sheet sold by Legion. The thick roll version of the yellow CR looked horrible when I tested 
it two different times.

So, who knows. I know it is the only truely warm paper that I have found which looks 
Platinum like, when used with warm carbon or Lyson inksets. I have done some really 
beautiful work with that paper over the years but always sprayed it with UV spray.  I 
noticed recently that Cone Editions suggests using it with their Carbon Sepia inkset for 
Platinum appearance.

Does anyone know of a similar rag paper which can produce those golden yellowish 
highlights that look so unique with warm toned images. I have't seen any. I always 
wondered why someone else didn't make one, couldn't they just add warm pigment in the 
production of the paper?
