I have with FB Prints, but never with RC. I had attributed it to having spent too much time wet. I was using Forte or Bergger paper, I don't remember which. The edges flaked a little.

It would help to know which paper you were using, and what your process was like when you printed them.

Ask here: http://www.ilfordphoto.com. There's a forum on the site under the "Photo Community" link.
