odd fringe on paper

[Ishotharold]

Was printing out on 5x7 last night and had some really odd fringe show up on a few sheets, they were not sequential and seemed to appear on transfer form developer to stop bath. I scanned one in, and ideas what this is? Paper is ilford RC MG, developer was ilford MG developer at 1:9. 7 of the prints are fine, three look like this.

Anyone?

Looks to me like the outside edge of the paper was exposed.

Well, it looks like fogging but as it is only occasional non-sequential sheets it is difficult to see how it could happen.

From the blotchy appearance, I would tend more towards moisture damage than light or chemical fogging. Was the paper frozen at some point? Kept in a damp place? Did any of the sheets seem a little stuck to another?

Cheers, Bob.
