glitchbox...i would hesitate to directly attach the prints to the board b/c the value of the print instantly decreases. If you are going to get it framed ask for mylar corners or mylar strips to keep the print on the board that way you can easily remove the print from the frame if necessary. Just flatten them real well and if the print isn't too big like 24 by 36'' you usually won't have to many issues with waviness or buckling unless the paper stock is really thin. also if you want to "float" a print and you don't want to see the mylar corners/strips in the frame then ask for japanese hinges which is an archival method of attaching artwork to the backboard and its reversable. Just make sure the people know what you are talking about and are reputable framers.
