"I think one can argue that printing with 100% carbon pigments on a paper
like Arches watercolor paper is an "alternative" inkjet printing process. It
does not have the nostalgia element of many of the wet process "alternative"
printing processes, but it does accomplish some of what I suspect many
practitioners of alternative processes are after. On the other hand, I
assume most of them will take issue with this perspective."  Paul said. 
 
I think phrased like that many would agree. It all depends on how they stake
that flag I think.  And from what I know about ink, some are cat ionic and
an ionic, so that might play a bit roll in what works better or worse with
some of the acidic or basic papers.  This is approaching the shake every
once in a while, and what's grain vs. what's fiber, vs. . Hey, look at this
, isn't it cool?
