My solution to this is canvas. I use a gallery wrap (staples in the 
back, not the sides). To accomodate this, I print a black border about 
half a cm wider than the thickness of the stretcher bar around the 
outside of the image. Coat the canvas, then stretch it when the coating 
is cured. You can hang it on the wall for display without a frame and it 
looks fine. This lets the customer decide what kind of frame is 
appropriate for the environment in which they will display it. If you 
decide to frame it yourself, consider a "floater frame" which is a 
beautiful, simple, elegant look.
