Digital BW, The Print

I'm sorry but if you were in a museum you would be told to leave.  If 
you are in a lab you should know better.  There isn't a media out 
there that won't show fat finger prints on it, glossy or otherwise.

I may be way wide here but feel the expectation in unreasonable.
If you are looking for handling prints, then you may just have to 
accept that they degrade with handling.

<Remember, the blacks don't rub off, but the texture changes. If I 
___rub a gloved finger across a black area___, and hold to the light, 
I can clearly see the imprint of the finger trace.>

You don't do it to the lens of the telescope, the surface of paper 
isn't any different.
