Digital BW, The Print

I'm afraid the marketing damage has been done.

If I had a dollar for every time I had to explain to a potential 
customer that the process I am printing with, Epsons on art papers, are 
indeed Giclees, I would have to print less to earn a living. I just now 
say "yes we do Giclees". I feel like a parrot after a while.

As far as that group, it will be fun to watch anyway :)
