Digital BW, The Print

>>> Best way I can describe what the "cracks" look like is small splashes of
white ink (paper color), no repeating pattern. If it was a piece of film I might
even say it looks like static marks from shooting and winding film in cold dry
conditions. The file shows none of this, the print sure as shit did not have
them going out the door here.

Making a bit more sense now. I think you can forget the hinges being at
fault. From your description I would guess that the inkjet coating
(remember, it is different material from the paper underneath; so different
reactions to stresses, humidity, etc.) is cracking as it is stretched under
the weight of the large piece of paper. See if the cracks are not along the
same lines as the greatest pull on the paper from its own weight.
