Simply saying "Carbon Print" was a really really poor choice of name if the print was produced 
using ink jet technology as a "Carbon Print" refers to a very old traditional process, as has 
been mentioned here before.  "Carbon Pigment Ink Print" would have been better or anything 
else which has not already been widely used.
