More, in fact. However, I don't call them ink-jet prints. Taking a
clue from
the pricey galleries, I call them giclee prints. The term "giclee"
merely means
a print created with a spray of liquid. It's accurate, if a bit
pretentious.
Michael Reichmann told me he *always* calls his prints "inkjet prints"
precisely because it annoys the pretentious gallery people :)
But people enjoy a bit of pretention every now and then.
Particularly when
they're opening their pocketbooks.
Yep. That's how I'm able to get more for "silver gelatin" prints!
Another good term is "pigment ink". Not quite as pretentious as
giclée (french for ink jet?) and almost as valuable as "silver
gelatin" ... ;-)
