Digital BW, The Print

Marty,

Carbon prints have been around for a very, very long time and make extremely
beautiful prints. With 4 layers of carbon in gelatin the is a real three
dimensional look. However, you are correct and calling quad/hex inkjet
prints "carbon prints" is not proper as the name has been taken.

I still favor "Carbon Pigment Inkjet Prints" myself. Straightforward,
honest, to the point and no BS.
