John,

it isn't just that - it's also that these are accepted, existing terms
within the gallery/collector/museum world about what you are getting when a
print is called a certain thing

(in addition many, especially US, jurisdictions have varying degrees of laws
requiring certain things in the descriptions of prints/art which are sold -
but it varies hugely from State to State and some are much more rigorous
than others. Depending on where you sell it, if you sell something described
as a Carbon Pigment Print, but it turns out to be (however good) an inkjet
print, not a "real" Carbon Pigment Print, you could be heading for problems)
