There are good reasons to avoid the term "Giclee" not only for 
its connotations but also because the prints have a reputation 
for being extremely vulnerable among conservators. To show them 
the difference with modern inkjet pigments I once held a print I 
made under the tap and put it on the radiator to dry. They still 
were astonished when they called next day that the print looked 
good despite the treatment.

Carbon Ink print, Pigment Ink print are close enough to me. 
Carbon Digital or Pigment Digital is another option. I use 
Piezografie in Dutch for the B&W ones. I've seen someone coin 
that term in English on one of these lists before it became a 
brand name shortly after.
