What do you think? "Carbon Ink Print" - that's what they call an ink jet print, or Glicee, etc...

Regards, Art.

Seems to be an accurate description to me. Which brings me to a question of why this is being readdressed?

Not trying stir the pot, but as someone with some experience in both carbon printing (as in the *traditional* sense of the word), and in inkjet printing, I feel that they are not related in the least.

The method of using a sensitized emulsion is completely different from spraying ink in a mist. The fact that there is no light sensitive emulsion with the inkjet print pushes it out of the realm of even being slightly equated with a carbon print. The only thing the two have in common is the word 'carbon'.

For those who are trying to draw some kind of a connection is a stretch at best...and dishonest at worst.

Like I said...not trying to stir the pot. I'll go and read the original thread. I'm sure others have been much more eloquent and educated in the matter.

I call mine "archival ink prints", or if it's a reproduction of one of my platinums, carbons, or gums, an "archival ink reproduction".

I am getting set to do a run for the "dreams of the Goddess" series (originals are gum over platinum) with two inkjet passes, one with 7 dilutions of black, and one with 3 dilutions each of blends that simulate the sepia and blue that I use.
