Digital BW, The Print

OK.  So, what do you call inkjet prints (assume fine art prints) that don't use the 'piezo' technology?

The title of "pigment print" is is a misnomer because
it is already used to describe a completely different
and historic process.

A "Carbon Print" is a very labor intensive and
beautiful process that very few people practice
currently. Clayton's use of "Carbon ink print" is
very accurate, as it does not use the same name for a
completely different process. While our carbon ink
prints have stunning longevity, I doubt that they will
achieve the same lifespan as that of a true carbon
print.

The best solution I have used is simply "Piezograph"
(piezo being the technology we utilize in inkjet
printing). I have previously used this description
for both color and monochrome works, as it does not
mislead or confuse by using the same terminology as
historic processes. However, it does distinguish our
process from conventional silver and alternative
process printing.

For a more specific description, I now utilize "Carbon
Piezograph" and "Pigment Piezograph" to distinguish
between color and monochrome works as well as the
nature/composition of the print as well as its
longevity.

Any thoughts/takers?
