In this case you could turn the images into animated GIFs with a blank 
first screen that quickly passes to your real image.  Then insert a really 
long delay before another blank image which may or may not cycle back to 
the front screen depending upon how long you expect them to look at the page.

Most browsers print either the first or last frame of an animated GIF, not 
a frame in between.
