Re: [Leica] Exposed printing Paper

First you need to look and see if the light-proof package inside the paper box
has been punctured.  If not, you are probably ok as regards light fogging.

Second, if it was RC paper, you need to see if there was physical damage to
the paper.  If you have a bend or trauma mark on the paper, it will show up in
the final print.   (I think the same would apply to non-RC, but it has been so
long since I used it that I don't remember for sure).

Finally, I would send an e-mail to Henry Posner at BH Photo (you can get his
e-mail address with a quick search under Henry Posner).  Tell him what
happened and what you are going to do.  This should protect you in case you
ultimately have to return the paper.

Hope this helps,  Bill Larsen
