I recently acquired some new darkroom equipment, and, along with the hardware I got a few packages of Oriental Seagull graded paper, fiber base. Some packages were opened, some not. All were kept in a cool dark room. These packages have to be at least five or six years old, and certainly go back to the time before Oriental stopped exporting to the US, and long before Cachet was marketing a product with the Oriental name.
So, what problems might I expect from a paper this old? Loss of speed? Reduced or increased contrast? Fogging? While I know that I can just expose a few sheets and see what the results are, it would be nice to have some idea of what to expect.
