I probably have misunderstood what you mean here, as I don't see how 
"chromogenic print" applies at all to digital printing.  One definition 
I've found says:
> Chromogenic print
> Also called "dye coupler prints." This term represents the majority of the color prints made today. Part of the material that forms colored dyes upon development is included in the emulsion during manufacture. During development, the silver image is bleached out, leaving only the dye image. These prints are commonly referred to as a "Type C Print" if made from a negative and a "Type R Print" if made from a transparency. Introduced in 1936.

Can you help clear up my confusion about this?  Thanks.
