Especially as the term "archival can and is used to mean anything you want!
So many manufacturers stick "archival" on their products just to sell
stuff... there is no real definition of archival, so I don't really see the
point of including it. (conservators don't use the term in this way)

carbon pigment prints is nice and descriptive as well as succinct. "Dye
Coupler Prints" is the current in description for standard C prints - it's
all about marketing.
