Re: Definition of word giclee (geclee)

2003-08-03 by sceptre12345

A giclee print is an inkjet print. Plain and simple. Someone wanted a 
more pedant word because inkjet wasnt upscale enough. 

A giclée comes from a gicleur which is a sprinkler. And what does an 
inkjet nozzle do ? Why it sprinkles ink of course!!!
Cheers,
Andre
