Boy, I overlooked that.  He actually IS referring to them as 
carbon.  Here is an excerpt from his email:

"I'm very excited about the new Archival Carbon Prints that are now 
available in the both galleries and on the website."

Of course you are right in that the UC inks aren't.  Odd...


 Or perhaps since he is still selling

You bet.  for $290.- - $8,000.- instead of $75.- - $795.- (framed)

I think I'm going to buy one to see what it looks like.  I can 
compare it too because I own one of his traditional sliver gelatin 
prints.
