Digital BW, The Print

I think this goes to show that there needs to be much more education 
available for the buyers, and us printers. It took many years of people 
having the term Giclee reamed down their throats, so it is going to be 
hard for them to choke that up quickly. What we need is some 
organization to create a new word (although I feel Giclee did the 
trick) and make it the standard for today's digital inkjet printing 
processes. Well, I can dream, can't I?
