you have to try different sprays.
over the years I have found new sprays and switched.
I tend to look for cheaper alternatives.
Krylon has a selection of clearcoats, fixatives and inkjet preservatives.
Depending on your location (humidity, etc) type of print, and your method of spraying, you might try different types of spray.
I like Krylon products...they are reliable.
But they can be pricey, and sometimes hard to find.
Preserve-It is amazing for inkjet prints and photos.
Right now I am having good luck with a Beauti-Tone Interior/Exterior Clear Lacquer (gloss).
Its a Canadian hardware store brand.
I spray one or two light coats to seal the freshly printed page.
It soaks in fast and doesnt leave a gloss unless you spray it on heavy.
I have also used it to apply a satin sheen to an assembled model.
I do it to deepen and enhance the colour.
Once again, avoid laying it on heavy, and you can avoid the glossy effect.
It would also make a good base to paint, but any clearcoat would do that.
