Might it be that the purpose of your coating is to create a fine
layer of separation between the print surface and the glazing? If so 
I'm afraid that is not exactly what most inkjet coaters are trying to 
do. I think they want a coating that is not quite like liquid 
lamination but gives additional strength to the otherwise fragile 
inkjet media.

Yes, you might be spraying too far from the print surface. It takes 
some practice to get consistent results. Get in closer and move
across a little more slowly but not so slow that you may get streaks. 
Just practice alot and you'll get really good at it.
