Digital BW, The Print

Everybody here knows "Giclee" is a marketing system and bogus label,
not a process. And it's a copywrite violation to use the term if one
isn't paying to take part in the hustle. "Giclee" is exactly the same
conceptually as "Big Mac"...not a burger, a specific brand of burger..
inferior and easily marketed.
