I recently helped with a work party, which included running a photo contest, coordinating prints, and mounting/display.

  1. Partner up with a good local printer. Someone who will help you through the file set up, choosing paper, choosing a printing method, mounting/matting. This might mean a Kinko's, but it will often mean a local, well rated, recommended smaller printer. In my experience, avoiding the sales rep and speaking with the guy who actually runs the printers has lead to the best recommendations.

  2. Sizing is... tricky. If you don't have someone who is knowledgeable about DPI/PPI on staff, this is where your good, local printer comes into play. Different sizing means different pricing, but smaller isn't always cheaper. Ask what your options are based on the quality of photos you're submitting, and ask for test prints at 100% size, 200%, etc. Test prints usually involve a small square of the image and run a few buck at most, but are often free.

  3. Overall, framing/displaying can get very, very expensive. Since our event was for one evening and we couldn't mount on walls, we had the printer mount everything to gatorboard (a thinner but denser version of foamcore that doesn't dent easily) and used a combination of cardboard easels that we could hide on display tables with other props and folding metal easels. Make sure to pay attention to the height of your photos and the height of the easels if you go this route. A tall photo can't be supported by a short easel. The metal folding one also comes in a tabletop version, and I honestly loved the way those metal stands looked. If your photos are running on the smaller size, less than 10"x10", most office supply stores and decoration-ey stores (Target included) sell nice tabletop photo display stands for sure cheap.

  4. If you plan on framing or matting, talk to the printer about the largest size at which you can print, then choose a standard frame size. Custom framing and matting will eat your budget like none other. But a simple black frame from almost any large store can easily class up just about anything.

    And remember, the printer is supposed to be there to help you, not just deliver a final product. If at any point you are overwhelmed, don't like the finished product, don't trust a recommendation... ask questions and share your opinion. Be nice, but be firm about what you are looking for. Respect their deadlines, ask about their turnaround time, and send files as early as possible. Ask to see examples, ask to feel the paper. If people act like your project isn't worth their time, it's ok to go somewhere else. =) If due to budget issues you have to print with an online printer/Kinko's/etc. I would highly recommend trying to get in touch with someone who can peek at and ok your files beforehand.

    Hope this helps, feel free to ask anything else, even technical stuff. My background is in print/graphics. =)
