Efflorescence on modern monochromatic prints

The following is posted on behalf of Annegret Philipsen, student in
the field of conservation

    I am working on the problem of efflorescence of fatty acids on
    Donald Judd prints (woodcuts). Has anyone had contact with this
    problem and tried any methods to reduce "blooming"? Did the
    applied methods have showed any results (other than foreseen)
    after treatment or some time later? Did blooming occur again
    after a while and then probably to a greater extent? Any
    information on this problem would be appreciated.
