    Is this what we can expect from Giclee prints?

    I have a problem with a John Waterhouse Giclee print that I have in the shop. When I took the order in, everything appeared fine. I put the mats on it and a few days later, I took it out of my (protective sleeve) and noticed tiny pinholes on the print and a small piece of the print had fallen off. Almost like the print is flaking.

    This was the first time that I have worked with a Giclee. Needless to say, the customer is not happy with the way the print looks and is demanding that I replace it.

    I don't know how I ruined this. I am starting to wonder about the paper, weather conditions, etc.

    Has anyone else come across a situation like this?

    -------------------------------------
    The above was taken from a custom framing site. This experience is not unique and happens to a number of Giclee prints.
    How does the guy protect himself other than telling people NO LIABILITY at all if they bring in inkjet prints- high end or not?

    This is about a "giclee" print (i.e reproduction) of a painting.

    What's this got to do with Large Format photography?

    uh huh. Right.

    First post ever, JJ. And you just *happen* to land on the most divisive topic possible.

    Forget it. The whole flame war thing is just not interesting any more. And flame wars provoked by anonymous first time posters are really boring. Flame wars that just happen to be about the most divisive topic posted by anonymous first time posters are profoundly boring. Flame wars about the most divisive topic posted by an anonymous first time poster who claims to have found this stuff on some unnamed custom framing site are not only boring but disgusting.

    Such posts on the most divisive topic, about stuff purported to come from some unnamed custom framing web site posted by an anonymous first time poster who does not even provide a email address deserve to be ignored or better yet deleted by the moderators.

    Google does not have a match for the supposed quote.

    JJ was the one who posted about the kid huffing compressed gasses, right?

    "I hear you can get high licking giclee prints."

    Great! Now the RCMP have more to worry about besides our farming for export.

    Paul,

    I only concern myself with silver photographic processes; but regarding "giclee" I would much rather ejaculate than ejacuearly.
