Digital BW, The Print

And how close to the edge of the paper is that happening? is there a matte
on the image at all or just a free floating paper?

I know that Jon is not a fan of Photo Rag and has in the past not
recommended it for Piezotones but I have been using it for years with no
issues. Again I need to stress that this same issue is also happening in
areas were there is no glue on the back of the print, almost dead center of
the image. So I want to rule out the glue. Over the next few months I am
going to reprint it and will have access to the problem print and will
probably sent it to Hahnemuhle to see what they say.

Mine were printed with Piezo Black, also on Photo Rag paper.
