         Would you prefer

                 Carbon inkjet print (Piezography process)

                 Pigment inkjet print

         Does the word "inkjet" hurt?  Many people assume that
         inkjet means fading, and poor quality.  We need to
         educate, but I'm not sure that the print label is
         where to do that.
