Description: For commercial reasons, some websites are spreading half-truths about the giclee technique. Here you can find some clarifications.
Lies, Damn Lies, and Giclee Prints Lies, Damn Lies, and Giclée Prints Many websites include a document which says "giclee means to spray". Well, "giclee" doesn't mean "to spray". "Giclee" isn't an infinitive. "Giclee" is the feminine of a past participle. (Nothing wrong with using it as a substantive, of course.) Is that important, or is that pedantic nitpicking? For understanding how a giclee print is made, or deciding whether you should buy one, the grammar of the word has no direct importance. But it might be useful to know that the person who is supplying your information is probably not very well educated, and probably doesn't really know much about the product he is selling on his website. That doesn't prove that he's going to cheat you, but before you spend a moderate sum on an artwork, you should talk to someone who really knows something about the subject, or start systematically learning something about the subject yourself.
