I first noticed this term in a book I have (The Pro Digital Photographer's
Handbook) under the printing section:
Giclée?
This odd term crops up occasionally on American websites, purporting to
refer to high-quality printing as in "giclée fine art prints." It is,
in fact, pretentious nonsense. A French term meaning "squirted," it is
totally unsuited to its intended application, which is inkjet printing.
Companies offering this as a service should be approached with caution.
So, erm there y'go.
I must admit I'm inclined to agree with the sentiments. But I'm just a
cynical child at the end of the day. ;)
