Digital BW, The Print

Martin,

Correction: my native language isn't French (Italian and English) though 
I speak it and have been living here in Paris for seven years. In fact 
the "Giclee" discussion came up some time back on the Compuserve 
Photography forum and at a dinner party with a museum curator, a gallery 
owner and others in the art world I took advantage of the occasion to 
specifically ask them

a) what the term "giclee" meant
b) what they called an inkjet print in art circles in France

answers were

a) smirks and advice not to use the term in polite society (followed by 
explanation of the official and slang meanings)

b) "tirage numérique" or "tirage digitale"

None of them had ever heard the term "giclee" used to define an inkjet 
print.

Cheers,

Nina
