Portiga was a different paper, nice, but not the same as Record Rapid.
I still have some Portiga in my collection, has a different surface than RR.
If my memory serves me correctly, one of the reasons for the demise of these
papers was some of the chemicals in the emulsion, I believe that both RR and
Portriga had a Cadmium component; which was also in some of the famous and
long lamented Kodak papers :(

Record Rapid was sold in the US as Portriga Rapid. AFAIK
it was the identical paper.
