But, essentially I agree with you a better term would be carbon inkjet or carbon digital inkjet print - to distinguish from carbro and impermanent inksets, which there are many. The layman can't possibly be expected to sort out all the permutations. You know that is interesting, the association with carbro. In many ways though what you do Tyler is a historical decendent of carbro. Sure they are done with pigments and studio print rip and not a gelatin transer process, and no the longevity figures aren't exactly the same, but they are related. And we sure have alot more control these days. Now that is what they should have pointed out in that press release as good historians, your right. Point out the similarities AND differences of these imaging cousins two centuries apart.
