Digital BW, The Print

Bernhard,

Not quite. The French official translation is "to spurt, as of blood or 
water" and obviously refers to the action of the Piezo heads spurting ink 
onto the paper using an inkjet printer. Unfortunately there is also a 
very vulgar connotation to the term in local slang, so I would avoid 
using it in France. Yeah, the Iris folks coined the term for their fine 
art prints - guess they were searching for a hoity-toity foreign sounding 
name so as not to use the word "inkjet"...but they should have done a bit 
more research  (g).

Cheers,

Nina (in Paris)
