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.
