Steve,
Funny you should ask...There is a thread on just this subject going on, under
the Subject: 'Running into inkjet work...'

I believe that to be 'correct' in the academic aspect of this field, what we
make here are: 'Inkjet Prints'.  After that you might add whatever adjective you
like, regarding your inks and substrate choice, like:  'Pigment Inkjet Print on
Rag Paper' or whatever.

Others disagree with me, but if you go to any museum, that is what you will
find.
