Nov 27, 2018 at 19:28 comment added joojaa @Rafael might be better to say that resolution is not a term for images, just a generic term for sensors and digitally samples systems. so the term resolution without context means nothing. Worse, in the context of graphics and graphics pipelines theres many things you could measure and call resolution

Nov 27, 2018 at 18:07 comment added Craig @13ruce ... Thank you for the advice. In my research, I have found great inconsistencies in what a Giclee actually is; which may explain the lack of regulation. That being said, I do see that a 'proper' Giclee should factor in: Choice of Paper, use of a 12 Ink Cartridge Printer, use of Pigment based (rather than dye based) Ink and the level of DPI being set to a minimum of 300. It is surprisingly difficult to find a Printing company who meets that criteria, hence looking to go DIY.
Nov 27, 2018 at 16:28 comment added 13ruce Keep in mind that "Giclée" is a completely unregulated marketing term that often means little more than "fancy ink-jet print", hopefully in fade-resistant ink on acid-free paper. Be sure to read reviews of the vendor before you buy in.
