Re: [Digital BW] Re:What is a Giclee.... straight from the source

2008-10-10 by Loring Palleske

Giclee is french for spurt spray or ejaculate. It is unlikely the word  
was used to describe a screen print.

The French incidently do not use the word to describe a Fine Art Ink  
Jet (spurted) print. I also doubt they use Sepia for their brown toned  
photos either...
