Richard,
I let it dry 48 hours or more and it still is very  sensitive compared to 
matte prints. If you have a test print could you try  just rubbing your finger 
nail across a dark area and see if it leaves a  mark?
 
Why would I want to do that? It would likely leave a mark on the surface of  
the paper or the coating on the paper. I rubbed with the pad of my finger and  
there was no effect at all. I would expect to see some damage to the print  
surface if I used my fingernail. I checked a 13 x 19 print on 
Gold Silk and  there is no problem with ink smear, or flaking. If you are 
using K 3 inks, did  you shake the cartridges to mix the pigments? There should 
not be any rub-off of  those inks after they have dried.
