Digital BW, The Print

The "gicl\ufffdes" referred to Iris prints that were dye-based, I believe.  The
carbon-based pigments most of us now use are far superior.  As such, I don't
want any association with that fugitive medium (not to mention the
ridiculous name's slang meaning).

Subject: [Digital BW] Interesting interview with Mac Holbert of Nash
Editions


Thought this might be of interest since it discusses
getting rid of the term "gicl\ufffde" 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 "gicl\ufffde" 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
"gicl\ufffde" is starting to lose popularity in our
market?
MAC: The term "Gicl\ufffde" 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".
