I am new to film photography. My first introduction to darkroom was in the last college semester. From then, I have come to know that film shows reciprocity on very long exposures. Does papers also have the same property? I have come to know about charts and iPhone applications which calculate the reciprocity for a particular film at a defined exposure. However, I have never come across something like that for paper (I might not have looked hard enough though). So, does paper (say Ilford FB) show reciprocity and how is it accounted for in the darkroom?

Thanks
 
Reciprocity

RH Designs Zone Master II(enlarging meter) takes paper reciprocity failure into account.
 

maybe this sheds a little light.
