I only wish that I could make all of my prints look the same; it seems that every time Adobe upgrades things in the LR printer engine change a tiny bit.<br />BVAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10678146902263790236noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-654754338632526091.post-69415855953610055152018-10-30T14:17:06.883-07:002018-10-30T14:17:06.883-07:00My sense is that use of the term "Giclée &quo...My sense is that use of the term "Giclée " to describe inkjet printing seems to be waning in the Fine Art (capitals) world. That's unfortunate because, I am unreliably told, Giclée is slang in France for "ejaculation". I enjoyed knowing that little nugget whenever I saw the term used by Serious Artists. <br /><br />To your larger point, there's no way you or anyone else can duplicate my precious prints because I mix my own inks for black and white, and I have to recalibrate the whole setup each time I mix up a new batch. Plus there are adjustments I make at the printing stage within the RIP I'm using. <br /><br />But ultimately it doesn't matter because the "differences" I know exist are pretty small in the end. A person who knew what she was doing could probably take one of my files and make a print that looked the same as mine to most people. When I used to print in a darkroom, each print was definitely "unique-ish" in that the Dance of the Dodge and Burn was different from print-to-print for the same negative, no matter how carefully I made notes. But the general point still applies I think. <br /><br />Anyway, I still love printing. <br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17646478958096303475noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-654754338632526091.post-45941383419433350292018-10-30T12:48:26.875-07:002018-10-30T12:48:26.875-07:00You mean that guy doesn’t have any clothes on? Hmm...You mean that guy doesn’t have any clothes on? Hmmm, what a radical idea. I remember from my early days of photo education that there was a concept floating around of photography being a democratic medium and that the idea that prints could be mass produced and ergo would be cheap was also touted as being a good and democratic thing. And then the concept of signed, numbered, limited edition’ prints started to crop up, and elitism reared its ugly head. And then digital printing came along and lo and behold inkjet prints all of a sudden became Giclée prints. I thought I would vomit, but figured the term would not last long, boy was I wrong.christianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05057172033456543944noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-654754338632526091.post-57766001051580945682018-10-30T11:03:38.521-07:002018-10-30T11:03:38.521-07:00That was "one year later, make 100 additional...That was "one year later, make 100 additional copies" which is a somewhat easier problem ;) I admit it's written sloppily, sorry about that.amolitorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15743439184763617516noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-654754338632526091.post-47482982959087905042018-10-30T10:52:37.733-07:002018-10-30T10:52:37.733-07:00"In the digital world, if you want to make an..."In the digital world, if you want to make another 100 a year later"<br /><br />...good luck finding a device that can parse your 100-yo data (though if a hard copy exists, presumably it can be duplicated).David Smithhttp://designartcraft.com/photo/afbp.htmnoreply@blogger.com
