This has already been discussed to death in this and other forums over
the past two years.  I remember in a thread somewhere, maybe here, a
consensus that "carbon pigment print" is sufficiently different than
"carbon print" so as not to be seen as an "infringment" or something.
I looked in two books on photo history and found only "carbon print".
I posted a reply to that effect in that forum earlier this evening,
basically defending the digi folks against the accusation of
"coopting" the name of an earlier process, that the various names were
considered and debated, that we are good photographers and we love the
medium and its history as much as anyone else.
