I know what the word means, I didn't know if that's the term that was being used in French for "ink jet." My wife, who is French, tells me it's simply "jet d'encre," and seemed quite surprised that someone would use "giclée" to describe an ink jet print. I'm sorry to say I haven't followed the whole thread - who thought of "giclée" for "ink jet"? Guy >John Brownlow > >http://www.pinkheadedbug.com
