Digital BW, The Print

If we print with archival inks on archival paper, then why not call 
them "archival prints". If they're handcolored, then 
they're "handcolored archival prints". I've done custom framing for 
artists who took their oil paintings down to Kinkos, ran off color 
copies, then called them "Giclee prints" in their literature and on 
their print racks. Giclee has become a pretentious, meaningless term. 
Since it's a French word, why not call them "Freedom Prints? (sorry, 
had to do that.)
