Re: [artshow_photo] Re: can I call my prints giclee?

Didn¹t we just have this long conversation a couple months back?
As I understand it, giclee does mean spurt, but not ink. And it means spurt
in a way that makes the French laugh at us when we use the term and ought to
make the person using it sufficiently embarrassed not to use it again.

When it comes to making photographs, the word giclee means nothing at all,
except maybe ³I am a pompous jackass².
