I like the way you think. I've been using "Photographic Art Print" as 
the moniker for my photo-based prints that I sell. It's not very 
descriptive in terms of the tools being used, but then most 
prospective customers don't seem to mind. If the customer wants more 
info, it's readily available.

In my limited experience, most customers don't care which technology 
is used to produce a print today any more than they care about the 
brands of paints and types brushes used to produce oil and watercolor 
paintings, either today or in years past. Aside from curators, 
collectors, and ourselves, how many people really care which tools we 
employ to produce our prints?
