The inks are waterproof. The rag paper swells slightly when wet, but dries fine. We are having a problem because the exhibit has a potential of being controversial and the museum is worrying about protecting the prints from someone who wants to deface them. That's why I washed them. The museum would like to go with Costco prints at $9.90 per 17x22 instead of the $75 custom inkjet prints because they anticipate having to replace prints if they are defaced. I'm arguing that compromising the quality because of fear of reactions defeats the whole purpose of the exhibit. We'll see. Tina Tina Manley, ASMP http://www.tinamanley.com
