Eric, Thank you for your comments. My Epson 1290S printer
does indeed use inkjet, not pigment inks, and I think my
use of the term Gicée is still an accurate one - the term
being used before the development of pigment inks for
inkjet printers. I did not think my post was so much OT,
I was after all discussing an oddity found when copying a
*silver halide* print made fifty years ago. I had hoped
someone would provide me with an answer.
Perhaps I should add in mitigation that I have been making
silver halide prints for the last seventy one years; and
reluctantly admit to making inkjets (not Canon bubble jet)
for the last twenty. It is said that the U.S. and the U.K.
are two countries divided by a common language. I hadn't
realised how divided our sense of humour is:-)

I think pigment inks are still used in ink-jet
printers. Its the ink that is different not the process. I
first heard the term giclee used for prints made on an Iris
machine. I think it is still a bit of a euphemism.
