Pigment inks contain very slow evaporating "coalescing solvents" (glycol
ethers).  The solvents act to slowly fuze the resin binder together
after the water has evaporated from the ink.  This is why it takes time
- several days - for the printed surface to gain water and mar resistant
properties.  (prints on RC photo papers straight out or the printer are
quite easily scratched, and although they have some water resistance,
after a day or so drying they are much more resistant - effectively
water proof)
These solvents take days to evaporate.  If the print is framed before
they have evaporated fully, then they can condense of the glass surface.
The solution is to allow a reasonable time (perhaps a week) after
printing before framing behind glass.
