Shannon, Don't forget to add the words "proven archival" to the name
The digital guys are using "archival inks" (proven by accelerated testing in
furnaces). So it must be time to use "Silver gelatine, fiberbase,
certified archival, analog print!" proven by true natural age!

I am wondering what to call my prints when I send them somewhere and have
to say what medium they are, or on my flickr site. Which is correct:
Gelatin silver, or silver gelatin? I've seen it both ways. Wikipedia
seems to think it should be gelatin silver, but the Texas Photographic
society says silver gelatin. Does it even matter?

The terms are strictly the invention of galleries who want to
1, To differentiate the prints from other types (carbon, platinum, gum,
etc.)
2, Give them a fancy name (WoW, look at this: its a Silver Gelatin
print!).
If you tone your prints consider calling them Silver-Selenide-Gelatin
or Silver-Sulfide-Gelatin, depending on the type of toner used. Boy, will
that ever confuse the troops.
Recently I've had some that could be described as silver-rust-gelatin.
The timer over the water tray is falling apart and bits of rust are
falling onto the prints below.
