Digital BW, The Print

I'm beta testing the silver rag and printing on a 7800 with Imageprint Silver Rag profiles.  
The ink should be dry to the touch when the print emerges...not sticky at all.  I have 
actually soaked one of these prints in water after 24 hours drying time, and you can't rub 
any ink off 
the saturated paper.  However it takes a while for the ink to set.....if i run a freshly printed 
image under water no ink washes off, but if I rub the recent print after I wet it, ink will rub 
off.  Ink shouldn't smudge under normal circumstances when it comes out of the printer 
however.  Eleanor
