No, 'silver gelatin print' or if you have: 'selenium toned silver gelatin print'.

I might add, that by saying 'silver gelatin print', you are already giving the process.  There is no other
printing process that incorporate silver gelatin papers.

And, of course, you can call your prints whatever you want.  But if you want to be helpful to people (now or
years in the future when you are not around to talk about them) who view your prints and want to comprehend
how they were produced, you will follow the method I described,.  If you want to bamboozle people into
thinking these are something that they are not.. Call them whatever you want.  Why put *any* description of
process on them  anyway?...It's to inform.
