[alt-photo] Re: NICER NAME FOR INKJET?

[Dan Burkholder]

I won't comment on the suggestion that some are trying to hide the fact that their prints are made with an inkjet printer but, because there are dye printers (which are generally less archival) and pigment printers (which are generally more lasting), it is useful to the collector/gallery to know which type of inks were used in the print's production. 

Just my $0.02.
