Re: Bill Brandt "carbon prints" Los Angeles

I don't know. I don't see anything wrong with inkjet or digital inkjet output as a 
description because there are many kinds of ink prints - including the still 
produced photogravure reproduction. Also the word "ink" could mean 
anything from poor quality offset inks,  good quality offset inks, silkscreen 
acrylic or oil based inks, very poor stability dye inks, or the finest carbon inks. 
It seems to me the only thing the term ink does is to distingish it from color 
coupler, dye bleach or other metalic based processes. ( although there are 
metallic inks too).

What is wrong with Carbon Based Inkjet Prints, like Carbon Based Lifeforms, 
not completely carbon........ but what the hell.....
