although i would say that inkjet prints is a term that more would recognize

archival pigment print...sounds like another sale of goods act moment to me

why not us the term inkjet? (after all thats whats written on the box the archival pigment printer came in when purchased

because i don't sell inkjets. I sell platinum prints. but i sell platinum prints of photographs i have taken with digital cameras

jim this comment was not really aimed solely at you, you do understand this?.

it was aimed at the general inkjetter artists, be loud and proud and call them inkjet prints, and then there would be no heated discussion about it

Troll Alert! Troll Alert! Troll Alert! Troll Alert! Troll Alert!

I've been following this with half an eye peeled to the email notifications.

I have seen the word inkjet mentioned profusely. The word Giclée has not been mentioned. Or did I miss it?

Giclée

[pablo batt]

haha giclee

yes thats a bueaty, how misleading, someone should make a law to stop it happening

oops i forgot there allready is one

"Photograph" is rarely used as the medium. Just as museums and galleries rarely list a work as a "painting" ... they'll say "oil on canvas," or "fresco," or "acrylic on aluminum."

They typically use the name of the print process ... "gelatin silver print" or "platinum print" or "type c print" or "cibachrome print" or "photogravure" or "ferrotype" or "inkjet print" or "callotype" or "duratrans."

Sometimes you'll see a construction like "Photograph | Rotogravure" or "Photograph | silver gelatin print"

Cite a specific law or stop wasting everyone's time with your b.s..

[pablo batt]

well yes that goes without saying,museums are on a much tighter leash than a gallery.

sales are generated mostly on the door

sales of goods act

[paulr]

Yeah, you mentioned that vague law. You have not cited any clause of that law or any case history that supports your argument.

In contrast, I have found, with less than five minutes work, two major collections in the Netherlands that call inkjet prints photographs.

Please learn to construct an argument. It's not the same thing as making noise and bugging people.
