Vince - Picture this Superior can easily do it just a Brent D suggested. If you bring in an inkjet photo there is a 50% surcharge now. Overall they do a good job, but the increasing price is troublesome to me.

Reed started doing it this past year. His prices were considerablly cheaper than Picture This when I had some done in Oct.

I'm no expert yet on printing techniques - but learning. What is MDF mounting?

Ken - MDF is a form of fiber board in which you can do many things. Bascially a number of services are out there that will laminate your photo on to one of these boards. they have some really nice properties like they do not warp.

Thanks for the all the info.

Ken, check out the link Brent provided (http://www.picturethissuperior.com/mounting.html). It's a nice process when a frame isn't preferred. It's basically just mounting a photo on MDF board (http://www.merbok.com/mdfoverview/whatis.htm)
