I would like to respectfully but strongly suggest that inkjet papers, 
quad tone or whatever be labeled as Inkjet prints. Calling these 
prints as Carbon pigment or Carbon print on paper is misleading.

A real carbon process print should be identified as a carbon 
pigmented print. Calling injet prints carbon prints is in my mind a 
misrepresentation.

My 2 cents worth -- I hope this stirs the pot on this discussion, it 
really needs to be discussed.
