That's what it sounded like to me too. I've got to wonder at how archival this approach is -- there might be oil paint on top, but how does that middle giclee ink layer affect the long term adhesion of the paint to the canvas? I've seen a giclee on canvas where a strip along the frame was wiped off by housecleaners cleaning the frame (no idea whether there was any kind of cleaning product on the cloth?)... but the concept of painting over that and representing it as a 'true' oil painting seems suspect to me . . .
