I wouldn't display a large print just as a paper on a wall. There is 
cheaper (and even better) solution than frames: prints adhered on fat 
carton or plastic plates. It looks clean, and there is no glass or plastic 
in front of the print. I find it advantageous if the original print surface 
can be shown headmost, I don't like this antireflex glass mounted on most 
frames.

In bigger cities there should be specialized companies (as the advertising 
industry needs stuff like that very often). Or you can do it yourself with 
spray glue, fat carton and a good knife.
