There might be others. Since they're photographs I don't know if T222s were done as sheets or individually. There's a few places in the photo process this could have happened, most would be a one time only sort of thing. If they used multiple negatives and one got some light exposure that would also cause the same problem, but it would be odd for it to get all the way into production. If they were done as contact prints- Negative and paper placed under glass and exposed - the effect seen would be almost impossible. If done with an enlarger type apparatus something could have blocked the light during the exposure. Or for any, the tray of developer could have been low and/or the paper curled causing a section to not get developed. I think that's the most likely since it's done on the dark and whoever was doing it was probably doing a bunch of them so they'd have had multiple cards/sheets in different developing trays and could have missed a mistake like this.

Bryan, that's certainly a solid point as well. However, the texture of the card is actually perfectly smooth. The swirling you see that appears to be texture is actually a crummy plastic toploader that the card is loaded in. There's no change in texture at all throughout the entire card except for that top right corner.

I'll try to post a better scan of the card later on....one of the card outside the top-loader.

Btw....there isn't any way that there could be this much ink loss if someone tried to soak a t222 could there?
