Subject: [pure-silver] silver gelatin or gelatin silver?
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.

Hi,
Isn't rust the result of the oxidation of iron = iron oxide, your prints
should be described as *silver-iron oxide-gelatin* prints ;(
Cheers,
Bogdan
