Before you do anything, like listening to half witted suggestions,  
call the Getty's preservation dept.
You might go in circles, but eventually you'll be directed to the  
right person.
This is from experience. My question at the time was over the issue  
of what type of fire extinguisher  does one use in a photography  
storage environment. I had very strong reservations over using purple  
K units, which is what's predominantly sold over the counter. Believe  
or not, there was one specialist over there who had tackled that very  
issue.
By the way, the last solution used with a color print is stabilizer,  
not water.
s.d.
