Interesting interview with Mac Holbert of Nash Editions

2003-11-21 by scshaw2

Thought this might be of interest since it discusses
getting rid of the term "giclée" from the guys who 
started it all. Only first few paragraphs of interview
here with URL to entire interview at bottom of this post.
Also talks about new Epson paper.

Here are excerpts from an exclusive interview 
Royce Bair, editor of Inkjet NEWS & Tips, had 
with R. Mac Holbert of Nash Editions on October 
31. <http://www.nasheditions.com/>.  (In 1990, 
Mac Holbert and Graham Nash pioneered the use of 
the IRIS 3047 Graphics Printer as an output 
device for making digital fine art prints.  One 
of their early print makers, Jack Duganne, was 
the first to coin the term "giclée" for inkjet 
prints, back in 1991 
<http://www.dpandi.com/giclee/giclee.html>. 
Today, Nash Editions use several Epson 9600's and 
only one IRIS.  Their clients include Robert 
Farber, Milton Greene, Douglas Kirkland, Winston 
Smith and Charles Wolfe, just to name a few.):

ROYCE: Mac, you recently told me that the term 
"giclée" is starting to lose popularity in our 
market?
MAC: The term "Giclée" is starting to fall out of 
use in the fine art market, at least among the 
fine art museums.  It is still being used very 
much in the "executive" art market.  I'm 
currently working with several museums to come up 
with a correct terminology.  It's very much like 
what they did with color photography years ago, 
bringing out the term "chromogenic prints".
