Re: What do you call your prints? Giclee? Fine Art Inkjet etc..

Steve,

You should list the media honestly, exactly as it is. That is the 
professional way museums prefer. I have seen art in major museums 
listed as Epson ink jet prints or Dura bright. Can't imagine why the 
word pigment bothers you.  It's as old as art itself - has nothing 
to do with swine:-)

So called "Giclee" is a joke more to impress the ignorant and nobody 
can pronounce it.
