If your first pass is smearing ink, use a special first-pass mixture with your normal coating diluted by about 1/2 with water. Coatings are a weak solvent for inks, but water is not. Put that first coating on fast, and be sure you're not scrubbing the surface with the roller. Think how roller bearings work between two pieces of metal...no rubbing, no scrubbing, just rolling. Pressing creates scrubbing from the foam spreading out, so go easy with the pressing on the first pass. But after that first pass, press as hard as you want.
Fact of life...8300 inks are a little more coating soluble than most, if you're rolling you should seal the surface with that diluted first coat. That's especially true for glossy canvas, much less so with matte.
As so many have said, HVLP is bliss, if you have a space for it.
Edit...start with a wet but not too wet foam roller. Just hold it under the hot water faucet for a few seconds, squeeze out the excess water. Helps keep down the bubbles. Don't worry too much about the finish on the first pass, little puddles will level out over several minutes. The thin mixture will permeate the whole thickness of the canvas, for fastest drying you can hang the print up on a clothes line or such to expose the back to air, much faster drying than with the print on the table. Or hang the print from the edge of a table with good masking tape, that works too. But do the coating with the print on a table of relatively horizontal flat surface.
If you get eyelashes, cat hairs, or general crud on that first coat, just wait until the print dries and you can easily whisk off the crud with your fingers. Never a good idea to go poking at a wet print, IMHO. One advantage to thin coats is you can pick off each coat's dirt when that coat is dry, rather than marring a thickly coated wet print with tweezers. It's a trade off.
