Digital BW, The Print

I store prints in archival portfolio boxes.  I put each print in an archival
sleeve (Secol Polyester Pocket).  The protection afforded the prints by
these pockets is great, particularly guarding against marking or abrading
the print surface.  And clearly the pocket separates the printed side from
the back side of the next print up in the stack.  Does anyone know whether,
in the absence of pockets or any other form of print separation, there is
actually any known interaction between the printed surface of a print and
the back of the next one in a stack?  I�m wondering whether I really need
pockets for print storage?

 

My current paper is Ilford Galerie Gold Fibre Silk with Epson K3 ink though
my question is more general.  I tried an archive search but couldn�t locate
an answer.
