Re: [Digital BW] Quadtone Print Labeling

2002-05-26 by Jennifer Drucker

We have run around the ring quite a few times on this one.  You can check
the archive... everyone labels them differently.

The point was made that it would be incorrect to call them Carbon Pigment
Prints since there was a process called 'Carbon Prints' that dates back to
the start of printing and we wouldn't want the process to be confused with
that.

I have been labeling them - 'Carbon Pigment Piezograph'  since I use the IJM
inks and software to make them.
