I agree that insufficient fixing might be the problem, but that I am still 
puzzled by the white borders, these needed the greatest amount of fixing, but 
these are still white..

I've seen exactly the same thing and as with you, only with prints that I have 
at work and only RC papers (the only RC I 
used and took to work was Ilford MGIV).  These are all older prints before I 
permanently switched to to bath 
fixing for all my prints. 

Insufficient fixing is still the most likely explanation, but I am not 
convinced that it is the only one.
