Giclée
Giclée ( or ) is a neologism coined in 1991 by printmaker Jack Duganne for fine art digital prints made on inkjet printers.〔Johnson, Harald. (''Mastering Digital Printing'', p.11 ) at Google Books〕 The name originally applied to fine art prints created on IRIS printers in a process invented in the late 1980s but has since come to mean any inkjet print. It is often used by artists, galleries, and print shops to suggest high quality printing but since it is an unregulated word it has no associated warranty of quality.〔(Robert Hirsch, Greg Erf, Exploring Color Photography: From Film to Pixels, page 201 )〕
== Origins ==
The word ''giclée'' was adopted by Jack Duganne, a printmaker working at Nash Editions. He wanted a name for the new type of prints they were producing on the IRIS printer, a large-format, high-resolution industrial prepress proofing inkjet printer they had adapted for fine-art printing. He was specifically looking for a word that would not have the negative connotations of "inkjet" or "computer generated". It is based on the French word ''gicleur'', which means "nozzle" (the verb form ''gicler'' means "to squirt, spurt, or spray").〔Johnson, Harald, What's In a Name: The True Story of Giclée, Mastering Digital Printing, Second Edition, Chapter 1〕 An unintended consequence of Duganne's choice of name was its problematic use in the French language since it is also modern French slang for male ejaculation.〔Johnson, Harald, What's In a Name: The True Story of Giclée, Mastering Digital Printing, Second Edition, Chapter 1〕〔Grant, Daniel. ("Ink-jet art runs gamut from low brow to high class" ), Baltimore Sun〕〔Allen, Ken. ("To Giclee or Not to Giclee" )〕〔Casselman, Bill. ("Giclée" )〕
