What are ink jet prints?

Michael Fox Photography - FAQ
An ink jet printer lays down extremely fine dots of ink so accurately that the results can be as good or better than the best RC photo paper prints. Ink jet prints such as those from Epson, HP, Roland and others provide stunningly beautiful output on a wider variety of media than is possible with the digital enlarger. Ink jet printers don't use photographic paper so they can print on fine art paper, canvas, or special papers that look very much like traditional photographic paper.

So which is better -- LightJet or Ink Jet?

Michael Fox Photography - FAQ
Unfortunately, the answer is "it depends on what you want." If you want a print made on traditional RC photographic paper and developed in photographic chemicals, then a LightJet print is best.
