Real schmeal!  Piezography is definitely a "real" print...  According to MW,
the photo process seems to be the last of the last on the list...and
dictionary.com doesn't even list the photographic print in its definition.


Definition of print, according to Merriam-Webster is as follows:

1) a) a mark made by pressure b) something impressed
2) a) printed state or form b) the printing industry
3) a) printed matter b) plural - printed publications
4) printed letters
5) a) (1) a copy made by printing (2) a reproduction of an original work of
art (as a painting) made by a photomechanical process (3) an original work
of art (as a woodcut, etching, or lithograph) intended for graphic
reproduction by or under the supervision of the artist who designed it b)
cloth with a pattern or figured design applied by printing, also an article
of such cloth c) a photographic or motion-picture copy, especially one made
from a negative
