Inkjet receptive coatings are not intended to provide the final “finish” or gloss level of your work. That is achieved by applying a top-coating (a.k.a. varnish) after the print has completely dried. Also, keep in mind the type and texture of your underlying substrate will greatly affect the gloss level of the piece after coating. It is not required that inkjet prints be top-coated but this does add a layer of protection against moisture and abrasion. The inkAID product descriptions below provide a general recommendation about what type of top-coating to use.
