Re: [Digital BW] Digital B&W dissing

That was my original thought some months ago.  But, the inksets that Paul is working toward are certainly different enough from other 'ink jet' inksets, that they need some differentiation in terminology.  "Carbon" seems to be descriptive, and sets these inksets apart from other inkjet inksets.  Got a better idea?

"Anybody else getting heartburn with the new 'Carbon Print' ?

But am I just being a curmudgeon for thinking that calling an inkjet print a
'carbon print' is just a little disingenuous? There is a 100+ years of a
traditionally accepted meaning of the phrase 'carbon print', and to have
this term co-opted in the interest of avoiding 'calling a spade a spade'
just seems shameful...."
