Digital BW, The Print

>Wow, I go away for a year, and you guys are still talking about 
>what to call your prints! 

Has anyone in the current incarnation of this subject read the "What
To Call Them?" article at 

   http://www.cjcom.net/articles/digiprn6.htm


Among other things, it touches on the (now very old and long died
away) "carbon print" controversy:

"The term "Carbon Pigment Print", often used today to describe fine
art black and white inkjet prints, seems to have evolved out of the
controversy that sprang up after some inkjet people used the term
"Carbon Print", and the people working in the old carbon print
processes took offense that their name was being hijacked."

This battle raged for months across numerous forums, and when the dust
finally settled there seemed to be a tacit agreement throughout the
inkjet community that "carbon print" was off limits, but things like
"Carbon Pigment Print" and "Carbon Ink Print" are ok.  I guess history
has to repeat itself.

BTW, the article makes a case for using "Carbon Ink Print", but I did
not invent the term.  It was one of several I saw used during The
Great Carbon Print Debate.
