Are you saying that these papers now being produced for inkjet use still have silver in them?  I doubt
it...Too pricey to include the silver...and besides, if the silver was present it would discolor over time.
And then, if they have no silver in them, they would only be gelatin coated papers, but I suspect that they
are no longer using the gelatin coating....As gelatin coatings don't respond well to inkjet ink applications
(again I refer back to that 62 page thesis: Stability Issues and Test Methods for Ink Jet Materials, Barbara
Vogt, Department of Image Engineering, University of Applied Science, Cologne).

Obviously you can, and will, call these things we make, anything you like...and (really) it's ok by me.  :- )
