Digital BW, The Print

Copyright issues are fairly straight forward and then again not, but to say
that the term giclee is to inkjet as big mac is to burger is so far off to
be really sad. One should not confuse the marketing by a group with a
readily used term. There has certainly been a movement to stand up and call
an inkjet an "inkjet" with pride but there are many out there that are still
calling inkjet prints "Giclee" in order to improve the perception of them in
the market place. There is NOTHING to impart quality either way; that only
comes from the actual piece of paper and ink. 

 

If you want to call your coffee table book a collection of giclee prints
that is nothing stopping you from doing so.

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.
