The problem, as I see it, is, all inkjet processes put the ink on TOP of 
the gloss. Cibachrome prints have the image UNDER the gloss. This is very 
noticeable when viewing the finished result. To make an inkjet print look 
like a Ciba, you would have to laminate the inkjet with a high gloss 
material.
