So just a little follow-up here. I asked sharpprints.com what sort of paper they used. Their reply: "We use Fuji Crystal Archive Paper, Lustre or Glossy Finish, we also have Kodak Endura Metallic Finish Paper"
I asked how they were shipped. Their reply: "We ship 1-3 large format prints in a tube, larger orders we ship flat." Shipping: " We have a flat rate of $8.95 for orders smaller than 16x20. The cost of 16x20's and larger would be $14.95-$19.95 depending on quantity and size of prints." Also, I've found that 3M brand 568 Positionable Mounting Adhesive is one way to mount prints to various substrates these days. It comes in 11", 16", or 24" wide (50 ft.) rolls. Reading the reviews on Amazon is a good way to get some tips for using it successfully. It's not cheap, but $90 to do up to sixteen 24x36 prints isn't horrible either.
