The Brooklyn Museum Of Art, which had a huge digital show this summer called all the inkjet prints (with
different types of inks, dithers, & rips) 'Inkjet Print'.  So if you are trying to be informational, you
should call them 'Inkjet Prints', with perhaps an addition of the type of ink.  Like 'Pigment Inkjet Print',
or  'Dye-based Inkjet Print' etc.

If you are looking for a marketing ploy, the the world is your oyster in the naming department.  But
academically they are 'inkjet prints'.
