That was just great, exactly how I feel. But after everything is 
horribly silent they ask me in a low slow voice- "are they archival?"
And I react like someone's going to hit me...

I call them carbon pigment quadtone prints. Isn't that what they are? 
I didn't think how it got on the paper was usually part of the 
description, and I want them to have images of little mustached men...
I have had to try to name any color inkjet prints yet.
