I think I've actually seen that once.

I have seen people describe inkjet prints made with carbon pigment
inks as "carbon prints".

To my mind the only reason for mentioning materials and process is to
give the buyer some measure of the durability of the object. How it
is made doesn't effect whether or not I like the photo. "Permanent
pigment print" doesn't really meet that need. Who says it's
permanent? How was that determined?
