One way I've seen from other modelers (specifically Edwin Rodriguez of Hermercraft) is to 'seal' the paper with a layer of white glue using the face of a credit card.

This should, in theory, not only prevent the print from damage but also allow for you to apply a gloss or matte spray after finishing the model (should you want to) without the spray being absorbed by the paper.

I've tried this method a few times and I absolutely hate it. Too much of a mess and the paper starts to warp as it soaks up the glue. Maybe it's because I use clear glue instead of white :P.

There's probably other ways that work a lot better, but that's pretty much the only method I've seen to 'seal' paper.
