Digital BW, The Print

Wow, I didn't know I'd start such a heated topic!

Well, I think I'm going to go with "Carbon pigment on archival cotton rag"... sounds 
mysterious to those that don't know about such things.

I realize that many think coming up with some pretty name for your prints is silly, but 
this will be in a gallery and as required by them I need to label the type of print it is.  I 
can't honestly believe anybody trying to appear professional would say "ink jet print 
on Epson paper"

But, I agree that its the end result that matters... just as if you used a Holga to take a 
great picture... that doesn't make the picture any less great.

Thanks again, all the replies helped a lot!
