None have addressed mounting the prints..I suppose several methods are out there and better than my quick and ok method. That method is to use foamcore board and a thin mat of suitable color for the prints.
If the place with the foamcore can cut it to size, good. This stuff does not cut cleanly without a very, very sharp knife or razor and guide to follow for straight edges.
I print with a very slight border (crop to slightly less than final size with print for the correct size to get a narrow white border). Then, using painters tape(the stuff like maskng tape that comes off easily) to hold the print in place on the border; the mat is secured with spray adhesive. Well, get the mat first and mask off for spray adhesive to avoid the print area and go for it. That is a simple temporary method and it looks better with a mat than without.
This is just 1/4 cents worth. I have not done much temporary framing or hanging of images. Tom.
