Storage of oversize prints

This question came out on Museum-L.  Thought it appropriate for the
conservation community to discuss.  I will forward answers to
Museum-L.

    We've recently acquired a large serigraph print, which is too
    large for our flat file storage.  I am concerned about storing
    it rolled in an archival tube, since the ink is so thick, I'm
    afraid it may crack over time. Is this a true concern, or am I
    being overly cautious?

    If anyone out there has suggestions, I would really appreciate it.
