Judy et al.,
I believe that Ctein, in his recent book "Post Exposure", stated that he
was still not satisfied that RC paper was as good (archivally) as the
manufacturer's claim.
I have a few that I printed but a few years ago, which seem to have had
some sort of "silver migration" to the surface. In looking at these prints
at an angle, it looks almost like a partial negative image.
I have now given up on RC paper except for temporary "quickie" proofing.
>> Also, I believe it was David Vestal or Ctein, tested RC papers and noted
>> the improvements have been major and the emulsion and archival aspects
>> were now excellent.
