Digital BW, The Print

A Pedantic point: saying '100% pigmented' _kind_of_ says "100% mixture of
pigment and dye". So, though I don't think it's truely technical
terminology, but 'pigmented' (as opposed to 'pigment') implies pigment / dye
mix.

'Pigment' implies Pigment only, but I guess got so misused by Epson and
people wanting to imply longevity, that '100% pigment' became important to
distinguish it from pigmented or the incorrectly used 'pigment'.

Is this the view of others?

So, I think in quad-black terms we are essentially referring to pigmented
options (MIS and Piezo) or Dye (Spectratone)? And I believe there is no
(100%) Pigment quad-black option.
