Around here we call that scuffing.

Wish I had a cure.

Depending on your use you could laminate, or brush on a few coats of glaze
or varnish. Others would be more qualified to coach you in that.

If I remember your original post, these are "work" prints - as in, you use
them at work - rather than fine art? What if you just keep them in clear
plastic sleeves or envelopes?
