Yes, they are really Giclee prints done on watercolor paper instead of canvas - which, BTW, you can do on the P2000 too.
As for explaining the process, the superior archival nature of the prints is the key. I explain that the prints are produced by the artist(me) using archival inks on watercolor paper, that they are fade-resistant for 140 years. If the print is matted, then I explain about archival methods of mounting a print and how I do it - hanging tape, acid free mats, backing, etc..
I get between 15 to 20 full-sized prints from a cartridge - color and black and white. I broke the cost down (ink & paper) and they came out to about $2-3 per print.
