Definition of Gicle'e Print

Definition of Gicle'e Print

2005-02-23 by Rod Bruckdorfer

Definition of Gicle'e Print from http://photography.about.com/library/

"Giclée print is the 'gallery term' for inkjet prints, used to try and make them seem more valuable than prints you can make from your own computer. Inkjet printing covers a very wide range of printer types, ink compositions and papers, from cheap throwaway prints to works of art on fine paper printed on high quality printers.

The first high quality inkjet prints avaialable were from expensive 'Iris' printers, and high quality prints are normally made on 100% cotton hand made or mould-made watercolor papers. Prints made on these printers are sometimes designated 'Iris Giclée'. Unfortunately, giclée, a French word meaning 'spurt', is most commonly used to describe the male sexual climax. 

With high quality ink jet prints now available from other systems, including Epson's pigment and other archival inks as well as the unique carbon inks used in Cone Editions 'PiezographyBW' system, there is much interest in new terms to use to describe high quality ink jet prints." 

If I my use the vernacular -  YUK.

Cannot agree with any of that. Gicle'e prints are reproductions of
paintings.

George is very clear on this. A Gicle'e is something you do after telling a
joke.

Hmmm - I think the proper term would be "pigment ejaculated 
print"...=*^)
