A triptych (pronounced "trip-tick") is a work of art (usually a panel painting) which is divided into 3 sections, or 3 carved panels which are hinged together and folded. The middle panel is the larger one and is flanked by 2 smaller but related works. While the root of the word is the ancient Greek "triptychos," the word arose into the medieval period from the name for an ancient Roman writing tablet that had 2 hinged panels flanking a central one.

Giclée (pronounced "zhee-clay") is an invented name for the process of making fine-art prints from a digital source using ink-jet printing. The word was coined to distinguish commonly known industrial "Iris proofs" from the fine-art prints artists were producing on the same printers. The name has since come to mean any high-quality, ink-jet print, and is often used in galleries and print shops to denote such. In the past few years, the word (as a fine-art term) has come to be associated with prints using fade-resistant "archival" inks and the inkjet printers that use them. A wide variety of substrates are available, including various textures and finishes such as matte photo paper, watercolor paper, cotton canvas, or artist textured vinyl.
