I just completed my own search.  Thanks anyway.

I admit to being relatively naïve when the subject of digital print out gassing is discussed.

 

So, a few questions:

 

If one simply leaves a completed ink jet print open to the air for a week before framing would a good deal of the out gassing be eliminated?  To be slightly more "aggressive"- if one leaves the print on a table and allows a fan to blow air over the surface for a day or two will the out gassing be eliminated?  Also, many of us take precautions not to place our digital or analog prints in direct sunlight. So,  if a digital ink jet print is thoroughly dry and t "ventilated" for a day or two, and then when framed is kept out of direct sunlight, will out gassing still occur?

 

Do all digital ink jet inks evidence the same problems with out gassing?  Are prints made with some inks more likely to "out gas"?

What temperature would be effective and safe for most inkjet media?  This seems like it could be a do-it-yourself project. Mild heat and air flow are not difficult to arrange.
