Shipping and Returns
Physical prints are made to order in 2 to 3 business days; shipping time is added on top and varies by your location and the method you choose. Standard shipping is free across the US.

The Digital Download is a JPEG at 300 dpi, sized for 24 by 30 inches. The digital add-on matches the selected physical print size at 300 dpi.

Materials
Fine Art Print: pigment giclée printing on heavyweight 330 gsm (17 mil), 100% cotton Hot Press paper, on regularly calibrated giclée printers. The paper is acid-free and archival-grade, with a smooth matte surface and the high color gamut and black density that let a dark ground and fine linework keep their depth. Supplied unframed, with no added white margin, ready for your own frame.
Framed Fine Art Print: the same cotton fine art paper in a 1.25 inch solid wood frame. A white, acid-free, 4-ply mat with a 45-degree bevel and optical-grade, shatter-resistant clear acrylic (safer to ship than glass) are included. The print is mounted to foam core for a flat presentation, with a kraft paper dust cover and installed hanging wire on the back.
Glossy Metal Print: the image is transferred by dye sublimation into polymer-coated aluminum with a glossy white base. The 1.14 mm panel has a scratch- and water-resistant surface, with a hidden inset mount that positions it about 3/4 inch off the wall. Display indoors, away from direct sunlight.
Digital Download: a high-resolution JPEG for personal, non-commercial use. No physical paper, frame, or metal panel is included.
Dimensions
Fine Art Print: 8 x 10, 16 x 20, and 24 x 30 inches.
Framed Fine Art Print: 8 x 10, 16 x 20, and 24 x 30 inches, measured across the mat and acrylic area inside the frame. The mat sits within that area, so the visible image is about 6 x 8, 12 x 16, or 18 x 24 inches. The outside frame is larger than the listed size.
Glossy Metal Print: 8 x 10, 16 x 20, and 24 x 30 inches. During sublimation, 1/8 to 1/4 inch of the artwork may be cropped, so the printed edge can differ slightly from the preview.
Digital Download: a 7200 x 9000 pixel JPEG at 300 dpi for 24 x 30 inch printing. A digital add-on instead matches the selected physical size: 8 x 10, 16 x 20, or 24 x 30 inches at 300 dpi.
Made like something you keep.
The field itself
This is Caldwell's own layout, the way its runways run and the taxiways thread between them, composed into a print you will want to look at every day. Not a stock template with a new name on it.
Museum-quality cotton paper
Heavyweight 330 gsm, 100% cotton Hot Press paper, acid-free and archival-grade. Its high color gamut and black density give the runways real depth, and pigment inks keep the fine detail crisp on a smooth matte surface.
Solid wood framing or glossy metal
Frame it in 1.25 inch solid wood, black, white or natural oak, with the white beveled mat, optical-grade clear acrylic and hanging wire included. Or choose glossy metal: dye sublimation into aluminum, floated about 3/4 inch off the wall on a hidden mount.

Essex County Airport Runway Diagram Print
Essex County (CDW) is a two runway field in Caldwell, New Jersey, and the print draws both of them. Runway 04/22 is the long one at 4552 feet by 80 feet, asphalt. Runway 10/28 runs 3719 feet by 75 feet, also asphalt. In the image they meet near the top of the field, so the two dark strips form a lopsided X rather than a tidy plus sign, with the crossing point pushed well up into the frame.
That off center crossing is what makes the composition work. The 04/22 strip enters from the lower left and climbs the full height of the page as one uninterrupted diagonal, while 10/28 cuts across it nearly level, and the numbers 4, 22, 10 and 28 sit at the ends in small reversed type. Everything else is pale gray: taxiway loops, the ramp and hangar rows stacked along the southeast side of the long runway, and the wide apron near the crossing. Field elevation is 172 feet, printed under the identifier along with the coordinates.
Caldwell has company in this part of northern New Jersey. Morristown is close by, and Teterboro sits a short distance the other way, which is why CDW often ends up hung as part of a small group rather than on its own. It also stands up alone. Two runways, one long diagonal, and a lot of quiet negative space is a restrained piece of wall art, and the colorway you choose sets how loud it reads.
The drawing is plotted from published airport information for cycle 2610, effective 2026-09-03, so the geometry on the wall is the geometry in the current published data rather than a stylized guess.
Caldwell (CDW) print, common questions
How many runways does Essex County have, and how long are they?
Two. Runway 04/22 measures 4552 feet by 80 feet, and runway 10/28 measures 3719 feet by 75 feet. Both are asphalt, and both appear in the print.
What does the code CDW mean?
CDW is the three letter identifier for Essex County Airport in Caldwell, New Jersey. The print uses CDW because that is the code people recognize on a flight plan or a logbook page.
Where is the airport, and how high is the field?
It sits at Caldwell in Essex County, New Jersey, near 40.8752 N, 74.2814 W. Field elevation is 172 feet, which is printed on the artwork under the identifier.
How accurate is the layout?
It follows published runway data: runway 04/22 at 4552 feet, runway 10/28 at 3719 feet, and the crossing relationship between them. This is artwork first, so fine details may be simplified or omitted. Markings, lighting, signage and smaller pavement edges are the usual examples.
What sizes and finishes can I get?
Several sizes, offered as a Fine Art Print, a Framed Fine Art Print, a Glossy Metal Print or a Digital Download. Physical pieces are made to order in the colorway you choose. The digital option is a file you print yourself.
Does this work as a gift for a pilot?
Yes, especially for anyone who trained, based an aircraft or flew regularly out of Caldwell. The runway numbers and the 172 foot elevation give it a specific connection that a generic aviation print cannot match.
