Digital BW, The Print

The July/Aug 2002 edition of photo techniques has a feature article
on 
p. 20 entitled "The Joy of Carbon Pigment Prints," by Mark Dubovoy.
To 
my dismay, his definition of a carbon pigment print is a print made
on 
a substrate coated with light-sensitive chemicals resulting in a
color 
print! This is an old process. I wonder, now, if we will confuse the 
issue by calling our ink jet digital prints "carbon pigment prints?"
If 
I read his article correctly, we may have to reconsider the name of
our 
media for classification purposes for collectors, museums, and 
galleries.

On another note, someone associated with the Santa Barbara Museum of 
Art told me that museums (and I assumed his) are now accepting
digital 
prints of the kind our group is making; that is carbon pigment based, 
inkjet prints on stable media.
