Could you recommend me good, professional book about framing inkjet artwork (photography, stretched Canvas). I need some quality guidelines to know what I'm talking about when negotiating with local print shop. Thanks.

Quite a specific book you are looking for then!
Sorry, I'm sure the print shop will be able to help without the need of buying a book?!

Perhaps..I just like to know my stuff. Nothing wrong with little education I guess?

I would have thought if you go into a framers and talk through with them what you need they'd be more than happy to discuss the process and materials with you. Plus when you do get it framed you'll have already formed a relationship with the framer which isn't a bad thing, especially if you're planning on giving them a fair bit of work.

i do that quite a lot at the moment, this is perhaps not what you want or find useful, but i think it is pertinent to this thread!.
1. buy old charity shop/thrift shop frames,
2. take to studio, take apart.
3. cut some board/card to size, clean the glass, and repaint frame accordingly. ( i find blackboard paint to be excellent. )
4.reassemble with yer art inside now.
5. have a nice cigarrette/joint and admire your wonderful hanywork/recycling/ engenuity/thriftyness . Congratz! 8)
