Sorry if I've been a bit MIA from OSP lately, but it's been tougher to post ever since they blocked the forum at work (go figure...).
Nevertheless, I have some ideas about my question, but I thought I'd get the opinion of my fellow OSPers.
My sister-in-law is having a 30th Bday party for my brother-in-law and she wants one of my images of him enlarged (to a bit smaller than poster size). The kicker is that she wants to be able to hang it up during the party and have the guests sign on it...almost like a guestbook.
I use WHCC as my lab and have some ideas about what to use for this particular request, but I wondered what you guys and gals thought might be the best for the situation (preferably something I can order from WHCC). I have about 2 weeks for the turnaround time and I know she doesn't want a canvas wrap, but is open to pretty much anything else.
What do ya think?
Full Version: large print to write on...suggestions?
I'd suggest a photographic print mounted on their 2mm styrene!

Scott! Quit slackin at work! OSP at home!!
(I am posting this from work by the way...) LOL just kidding...I think you are describing a signature board... rite? I had 11X16 printed from Reedy a while back...
Its a print with a large white border for people to sign on. I'd recommend putting it on a gator board backing and let them sign with a sharpie... I don't think WHCC has them...
I recently did one of these. It was a 11x14 and I just layered it on a 16x20 black canvas with a white keyline stroke around the image. I had it printed on Metalic paper and provided silver sharpies. IT was very very cool
Scott asked me to bumpity bump for him 
and just to clarify, i was suggesting a mounted standard ("matte") print on 2mm styrene.
Thanks for all the suggestions, guys and gals. They will definitely come in handy. I really appreciate it.
