Andre,

I think Cone Editions might like Piezography to become an almost-generic 
term like Iris.  I was skeptical about that before but now maybe us users 
should give it a chance to catch on.  Continuous tone printing is a term 
used for specialized litho and Iris.

"Continuous tone carbon print on archival paper"  could work.  Check this out:

btw what's today's soup de jour?
