Digital BW, The Print

I found a Shutterbug article with ralph gibson and he mentions Jon Cone's 
piezography. His comments I quote as follows: "Chris/Larry: Have you tried 
printing with the quad tone inks, like the ones from MIS 
(www.InkSupply.com).

Ralph: I have. And I\ufffdve gone to InkjetMall.com (Cone Editions). I\ufffdm pretty 
much abreast of what\ufffds going on. And I have used those inks, and they\ufffdre 
great. It\ufffds just that they\ufffdre not better or worse than photographs. They 
coexist. They\ufffdre not photographs. They\ufffdre another kind of very beautiful 
print."

I find it interesting that a renown artist firmly believes that the results 
of piezography/inkjet printing cannot be photographs but prints. I would 
tend to disagree to be honest. Photographs not in the traditional sense but 
a pictoral representation using a camera should be considered a print I 
would think...?

Any comments about Gibson's take on this?

sincerely, Alfie
