I've worked with quite a bit of inkaid. There are several products for different substrates. Basically one transparent and one semi opaque. I find two coats are necessary to get a higher dmax with either product. I coat with either a foam brush (non absorbant surfaces) or a watercolor flat for paper. 
Order a sample sent and play with them. Golden Paints also makes a similar product.

I am looking for a depth and richness that is somehow lacking.  The notion of taking lovely substrate and hand coating strikes me as appealing...  But of course I fully expect this may be a fool's errand.
