Spurt Prints

This is not a new one - but it fits. When we were still doing outdoor shows, I got tired of everyone selling prints suddenly having "Giclee Prints" which are basically ink jet prints using a name coined by a company (Iris) for gallery work.
This was to express my annoyance at that time -

Spurt, squirt...sounds nice and inky! I'm puzzled about the wrinkly texture and wonder if it's necessary, or perhaps the texture could incorporate the text and pic. Just a thought.

A not so subtle subliminal message considering the choice of flower shape and the connotations of giclée. What do you call it when the printer "prints" before the paper is fed into the machine?
Usually only happens with new printers. >PaulJSvBFCM

Fun, Laurie! I also have been annoyed by the snobbery of "Glacee Prints", although I have used Iris on occasion and loved the quality. Good job!
