    Over here Giclee seems to mean any kind of inkjet although I see a lot done on canvas, I see other stuff called giclee where its printed on art board. As far as I can tell all that differentiates it from normal printing here is that normal is deemed to be CMYK + hlaftone and giclee is multi color inks like hexachrome with error diffusion dithering. Do you think it has to be on canvas to be a giclee print ? It seems to me to be just marketing blurb but I am not an expert in this area so Im all ears.

    Post Giclee is French

    Since Giclee is French, I'm sure it just means inkjet on canvas, as far as I can tell, it is indeed just a marketing blurb, but since it does look nice, its a way to bring the price higher for others. Me, I just charge the difference of printing to canvas media, versus paper.
