Nick,

I have a few of Todd's prints. If you aren't happy with them, then I 
would suspect that quad inkjet printing may not be what you want to 
use.

Most people who are moving to inkjet from smooth silver prints face a 
major adjustment. While the majority of the people on the list are 
working very hard and successfully with inkjet, there are going to be 
people who will be happier staying with silver or pursuing one the 
other digital approaches.

At least after seeing Todd's prints you will know whether you have a 
tech problem or if the medium just can't provide the results you are 
looking for.
