Digital BW, The Print

You may want to check into Snap Frames.. We had an event at the Fairgrounds and this is what they used.. Ours were 24 x 36 and ran just a little over 30 bucks each as I recall. They wanted an inexpensive common look .. These came with a front lens to protect the print.. (not glass) .. You'll still need a piece of foam core .. They come in various sizes and are really cost effective and didn't look bad I thought.... but certainly not a high end frame  The frame sides are extrusions.. and they snap together.. they came with a hanger too. I think you'd be hard pressed to find something that looked better that was more cost effective....... if you do please share it..

  "footboard" is supposed to read "foamboard". That was 
  a because spellcheck changed it and I did not catch it. Sorry for any 
  confusion. 

  With this method the prints are not 'framed' but they are 
  on a firm backing. Usually two clips at just the top to 
  clip the print to the foamboard and to serve as hangers. Likely 
  too primitive in many cases but inexpensive.
