You can't use that because Piezography is a commercial, trademarked 
name and Piezograph is just too close, especially since you're using 
it to mean the same thing.

The bottom line is that these are inkjet prints.  Unless we ALL 
agree on some alternative name no one will know what we're talking 
about with our cutesy little homemade names.  

"Carbon pigment print" or the like sounds too "scientific" for a 
target audience of museum curators, gallery owners, and art 
collectors.   They'll all go, "carbon . . .  that's, like, a 
chemical, isn't it?"  Then they'll blame you for global warming or 
something.

I recently had a gallery show that involved my Epson 2200 prints.  
The ones that were pure inkjey I called "giclee" at the curator's 
request, but I insisted on using a lower-case 'g'  and the ones that 
were combined with pastels I called "mixed media".
