Digital BW, The Print

I only use the word "Giclee" when referenceing a reproduction, not an original.  So, for 
instance, a Painting or Watercolor which has been photographed or scanned and then 
reproduced I would call a "Giclee".  If its a work of art which has never existed in print 
form before being printed, then I refer to the exact technology used.  Thus, Pigment Ink 
Print or Carbon Pigment Ink Print.  Some will just say Ink Jet Print which is too generic for 
me.  Historically, Photography and Museums have always referred to the technology used 
to make the print when describing it.  Ie. Silver Gelatin Print, Chromogenic Print, Dye 
Transfer Print, and so on.  The term "Giclee" is very generic in one since in that it simply 
translates "to squirt" or something similar.  The term has seen its most use as describing a 
means of reproducing an original thus my reasoning.  In the general publics mind, its a 
pretty "fuzzy" term so you will find many who do not know exactly what a "giclee" is.  The 
History of the Iris Printer, how it was first used for just proofing, and then how Nash 
started using it for Fine Art, High Quality reproductions would need to be referenced to 
explain things more fully.  Nashes assistant just came up with the term "Giclee" to 
differentiate what they were doing with the Iris Printer versus what it had always been used 
for.  That's a quick history.  Don't kow how much of all that is in the Archives...
