Buy a can of "Workable Fixative", available at any Art Supply house. The
brand name I use is Krylon. I've also been told that cheap hairspray will
work. I've used it on prinouts from my Xerox 4020 (also uses water based
inks) with very good results. It will make it water resistant, and will also
help keep the inks from fading. I recently did a large (6 foot) outdoor
sign, sprayed the whole thing down, and hung it out on a foggy morning. It
held up well.
