For a print to be used for private purposes it usually makes sense to
have the pricing for the image itself not higher than the costs for
printing and adequately framing the image. For use in a business
location you can exceed this since the material costs are regarded more
secondary and usually a much higher value lies in a well suited image
motive for the customer. This is for selling printed images and as said
only for the price of the image motive itself (add printing and
supplementary costs like for a larger render).
In general i would be careful with sending out high resolution image
files to people who want to print it themselves. Even if you have a
clear contract with the customer saying he is only entitled to do a
single print the file will usually go through the hands of others who do
not feel bound to any contract. If your customer insists on getting the
digital image i would make the pricing more similar to a volume use
license for a custom image.
