Jack,

I couldn't agree more regarding the use of "Giclee." Before I even 
learned of the unfortunate slang use of the term, I had decided 
against using it because it sounded so pretentious. After following 
several discussions on this topic on the Epson Inkjet list and the 
DigitalFineArt List, I settled on my "Photographic Art Print." It's 
descriptive enough and doesn't impose on the potential customer the 
nuts and bolts of producing the print. 

How did you come up with "Renaissance Art?"

Tom
