They should pay what it costs to REPLACE the print, not what you paid for it.

I would make them buy you one in the same condition as yours was in before
they damaged it. You can posted a "wanted to buy" here:

and even at ebay.

Contact them and tell them you're looking for the print.

I used to contact galleries that sold prints by an artist
I collected and let them know I was looking for a piece.
It will probably cost more, but the framer really should
do this for you. They should have insurance while framing
your work...it is part of any good galley's job to protect
your art investment and make sure you are compensated if
they damage it.
