Re: [Digital BW] what to call these prints.

2004-08-20 by Josh Freeman

Well, if they were made using a pigmented ink printer, such as one
that uses ultrachrome or piezography, they could be called Pigment
Prints. 

That term seems to be pretty accepted. The Museum of Photographic Arts
here in San Diego has an exhibition right now by Robert Weingarten and
all of the prints are labled as pigment prints. They were printed
using a 9600 on one of the textured papers, not sure which right now
though. It doesn't have the "stigma" of digital print or the history
of giclee.
