Looks like blue photo resist or blue masking tape mixed in with the mask. The white Lpi legend is just sitting on top. Really should have been caught before leaving the shop. Hope it's not ours.

I'm wondering if anyone has seen something like this before, or has an idea what this could be. The blue color seems noteworthy to me. This is for IPC class III, space. I will return this to the fabricator, but I wanted to get educated in case there is a debate regarding the cause. Thanks for your help!
