There is no standard. So here's a few suggestions.

- Carbon Pigment Print (my choice)
- Carbon pigment on cotton paper.
- Carbon inkjet, Archival carbon inkjet
- Carbon based pigment prints
- Archival inkjet prints

Clyde Butcher calls his prints:
- Digital Prints 
- Fine Art Inkjet Prints

There are surely other choices.

Giclee, amongts other meaning, is simply another meaning for inkjet
print. That's the last word I would use. It's pretentious and pedantic.
