I've never heard of one, and if anyone has scientific data I'd love to see it.

Based on what I've seen and measured I think 24-hours is 
best--minimum. If you're a paranoid wait 96-hours, but I think 
anything beyond that would be splitting hairs.

Most definitely. With high humidity (in the 80s and 90s) I'd wait a 
lot longer, but then I wouldn't want to store my prints in those 
conditions...
