Of the images I've recently sold - 12'X18" framed & matted to around 15"X21" - off an Epson 2000P, no buyer has asked or made any comment about the process. On a few occasions when I advised them of this all being done in my house, on my computer with my printer they were amazed that I could do this kind of quality on my own at home. I see no resistance to these images in my small shere of aquaintances/customers.

The largest size I sell is printed on Epson's 13 X 19 Enhanced Matte. The image is about an inch smaller in each dimension, so about 12 X 18 image area for most. I have these matted with wide white mattes and framed in dark charcoal gray aluminum sectional frames for the black and white images. I don't do many in color. Final dimensions are something like 18 x 25. Most people seem quite pleased with that size. In fact many prefer prints on A3, which is 11.7 X 16.5 inches. I'm printing on an Epson 2200, which produces gorgeous prints. It is possible to get a really good print in either of these sizes from a 6 megapixel camera. Galleries and buyers were initially resistant to inkjet prints, so we started calling them giclee.
