A few definitions for you...
Chromogenic Print
A print made from a color negative, involving three emulsion layers of silver salts sensitized to one of three colors—red, green, or blue. Unlike a dye-destruction print (please see cibachrome), the dyes are not contained within each layer prior to exposure, but are made during the developing process by adding dye couplers which join the silver particles to produce the colors. The result is a color image formed by the three emulsion layers against a white background. Chromogenic prints are also known as Ektacolor prints, color coupler color prints, or Type-C prints.
Digital C-Print
Digital C-prints are photographic prints made by exposing a sheet of Type-C photographic paper (e.g. Fuji Crystal Archive) to light inside of a digital printer instead of to light projected by an enlarger. The digital C-print is then processed in a color processor just as a traditional C-print would be. While "digital C-print" is the common term for the process, both digital and traditional (optical) C-prints are properly termed "chromogenic prints."
Digital Inkjet
Digital printing that produces images directly to the material (can be canvas or special paper surfaces) from a digital file through a stream of very fine dye drops controlled by the computer system. This process is offered referred to as Giclée and is a process becoming increasingly popular amongst contemporary fine art photographers and digital print makers. The technology has reached such an advanced stage in its evolution that the quality delivered by this process is unparallel and the longevity unequalled. Artist and photographers have identified this process as giving them the freedom to experiment and work though ideas quickly due to the speed and effectiveness of the print technology. The artist can take a photograph and within a very short space of time see the image printed out. This allows photographers to see the results of their work and make critical decisions as to if it is working or not.
Lambda
Uses three lasers (Red, Green & Blue) to print digitised images onto traditional photographic paper. This allows consistent reproduction of large run editions with the same quality as traditional print techniques. This process typically uses C-type paper.

Helen Levitt (1913–2009)
Helen Levitt, a major photographer of the twentieth century who caught fleeting moments of surpassing lyricism, mystery, and quiet drama on the streets of her native New York, died in her sleep at her home in Manhattan on Sunday, reports Margarett Loke for the New York Times. She was 95.
“At the peak of Helen’s form,” John Szarkowski, former director of the photography department at the Museum of Modern Art, once said, “there was no one better.” In the late 1930s and early ’40s, Levitt created an astonishing body of work and produced stark images to inspire social change. She took her camera to the city’s poorer neighborhoods, like Spanish Harlem and the Lower East Side. In his 1999 biography of Walker Evans, James R. Mellow wrote that the only photographers Evans “felt had something original to say were Cartier-Bresson, Helen Levitt and himself.”
