Digital BW, The Print

For you to loupe it, was it taken out of the frame? or you are doing this
through the plexi? 
 
If marks/cracks are all the way into the middle portion of the image, with
no glue, or different stress on the paper, I can only guess a combination of
heat, humidity, air borne elements causing the coating to react with the ink
to form areas with either a more rigid surface or a more porous one. Either
way leading to an eventual failure of the paper/coating/ink combination with
the frame/ plexi backing combination. 
 
Fault? outside the specified limits of known to each part or the process;
printer, paper, framer, buyer. It could be that it's just NOT a workable way
to frame inkjet paper with the total package of ink, paper, wood, plexi. or.
or.. 
 
I would certainly get Hahnemuehle a detailed image showing the failure and
get an art conservation group involved as well. Perhaps this is just the
first in a series of failures and your picky customer may just need to take
a few steps back each year. ; )

No matte, borderless print, floating, within two inches of edge but more in
the center of the print.
