clean PVA glue!

Hello,

I face a problem with PVA glue. I usually use inkjet printer (and paper) for my models. However, a big disadvantage of inkjet printing is that the PVA glue leaves stain on inkjet colors. It is a glossy and disgusting effect that ruins my models. And what I have seen since I started papermodeling is that all models have stains, despite the attention I paid on each one. I think your experience will help me somehow.
1. How can I clean the PVA glue?
2. Can I spray the printed surface with an acrylic matte spray before gluing? Does it work?
3. I use a cheap PVA glue. Is there any other PVA (specific brand?) which is more "friendly" with cleaning?
4. In conclusion, is there any trick (except attention and patience) that I should know?

Thanks in advance!
