A family member is travelling to Europe and planning to bring home some Foma paper for me. Can it go into a checked bag, or does it need to be in the carry-on like film?

Take a look at my recent post with excerpt from the ISO standard on photographic materials.

The x-rays used on checked luggage are may times stronger than those used for carry-on. I wouldn't put anything light sensitive in checked.
