Digital BW, The Print

A follow up.  I had an interesting coversation last weekend at a local art fair.  I use the term inkjet in all of my descriptions.  A woman who was selling prints of her watercolors as 'giclee' came by to complain to me that I was doing everyone a 'great diservice' by using the term inkjet.  Everyone has a point of view.

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.
