Jeff,
Better not call them Iris!!!!  Giclee seems to have caught on most places - 
I hate it myself but don't get me started.  NOBODY uses "ink jet" in the 
fancy sales galleries.  I call my stuff carbon pigment ink jet on archival 
paper. Nobody wants to own up to the real printing technique because, as 
you say, it sounds cheap.

I say real men do ink jet.
