How can you compare a giclee printing system which uses 2989 color values with an ordinary inkjet printing system which uses 50 to 100 color values?
There are at least two questions here. The first is whether the number of color values in an ordinary inkjet printing system is a limiting factor in determining some kind of humanly significant ‘quality’ or ‘value’. At the very best, increasing the number of color values (or any similar parameter) can only make the system’s commands to the ink nozzles correspond more closely to the difference in value of the ‘original’ digital file. Such parameters cannot even add anything to the accuracy with which the system turns the original artwork (if it’s not a digital original) into a digital file, much less add anything to the artistic value of that image, or to the physical output on paper or cloth, which is several steps further removed. To use an analogy from acoustics and music: It’s quite likely that even a cheap desktop computer can match a given frequency better than the best musician. But as a matter of fact, not only to the great orchestras of the world make no attempt to match the A
