Tom,

With all due respect, you're going down a dangerous road, trying 
to make an apple an orange. You might get close on some of the 
images, but I also think it's important to respect that an apple is 
an apple, and an orange is an orange. 

They're two different animals, and to try to merge them into one 
is only a road to disappointment. (And to me, the disappointment 
is that a silver print will *never* be an inkjet print! How about 
*that* for a little jab?)

Given that, I'd play around with Epson Premium Gloss, or that 
Pictorico Film stuff, or maybe John Nollendorfs inks with that 
Ilford glossy paper that he sells.
