Looks pretty decent. Anything special you had to do adapt the process for the inkjet paper. In my experience inkjet papers are extremely absorbent so very hard to get a even coating and a good Dmax.

The contrast and the dmax surprised me...
In this case, minimum emulsion. Double the

time of everything, developer, clearing,toning, and fixing...
Try a double weight micro porous paper to withstand the liquids...

I looked at the preview of this book, and it seems there are a lot of hoops to jump through to get this to work. Did you have to fuss with the temperature of the paper and materials, and adopt a temperamental brushing technique?

The problem in fixed out silver gelatin is the gelatin topcoat which acts as a barrier. Inkjet papers have no topcoat so they do not encounter a similar problem in coating.
