Yeah having worked with both C-types and Giclée, it’s just horses for courses.
Archival life is certainly better in Giclée prints (but we’re talking like 75 years plus anyway so it doesn’t matter).
Basically long short of it, Giclée prints will be more vibrant/richer black tones, but C-types will give you finer tonal range.
I wouldn’t call theprintspace’s prices inflated though, they are a lot cheaper than a lot of other comparative labs in London/the uk. But it is a self service and if you’re not used to printing/proofing you’re likely to get better results elsewhere.
