Your fine art print is made to order with pigment inks on heavyweight, 100% cotton Hot Press paper, a 330 gsm sheet with a high color gamut and deep black density. The acid-free, archival-grade paper has a smooth matte surface. Supplied unframed, ready for your own frame.
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. Orders containing only paper prints ship flat, though paper may retain a slight curl; orders with framed or metal pieces ship in separate boxes. Digital downloads are delivered by email, so there is nothing to ship.
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. Download links arrive by email and stay active for 30 days; save the file within that time and keep it for personal, non-commercial use. No physical item is shipped.
Physical products have a 30-day money-back guarantee. Contact us within 30 days of delivery to request a refund; we may require a return before issuing it.
Digital downloads are non-refundable once delivered, except where required by law or where AirportPrints determines that a delivery failure or technical issue was caused by AirportPrints.
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 Carson City'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.

Carson City Airport Runway Diagram Print
CXP is a one runway field, and the print leans into that. Runway 9/27 measures 6,101 by 75 feet of asphalt, and on the sheet it reads as a single dark bar running diagonally from upper left down to lower right, with the threshold number 9 at the west end and 27 at the east. There is no crossing strip, no second angle competing for attention. One line, held at a slight tilt, doing all the work.
The supporting geometry is what keeps it from being plain. Long taxiway ribbons run parallel along both sides of the runway in a lighter tone, blocks of hangar rows stack above and below the pavement, and a taxiway spur reaches north to a separate cluster of buildings near the top of the composition. The field covers 632 acres, and the drawing spends most of that on open space, which is why the layout hangs well in a room that already has a lot going on. Elevation is 4,704 feet, printed small under the identifier.
There is a little history behind the quiet geometry. A national airport systems plan for 2009 through 2013 categorized CXP as a reliever airport, and from 1984 through 1985 SkyWest Airlines ran a twice daily nonstop to Las Vegas using Metroliner commuter propjets. The airport sits three miles northeast of Carson City, the capital of Nevada. For anyone who flies the eastern Sierra, it pairs naturally with diagrams of Reno or Minden, and a row of those different layouts reads as a set rather than a repeat.
Carson City (CXP) print, common questions
How many runways does CXP have, and how long are they?
One runway: 9/27, at 6,101 by 75 feet, asphalt. In the print it appears as a single diagonal strip with taxiways running alongside it.
How high is Carson City Airport?
4,704 feet above sea level. The elevation is set in small type in the lower corner of the print, beneath the coordinates.
Where is the airport?
Three miles northeast of Carson City, the capital of Nevada. The coordinates on the print place it at 39.1923 N, 119.7326 W.
What does CXP stand for?
CXP is the airport's three letter identifier, the short code used to refer to the field. It is the code set large in the lower right of the print, above the city and state line.
How accurate is the layout?
The runway, taxiways and building footprints are plotted from published airport information, so proportions and orientation follow the published layout. It is still a print, not a chart: fine details may be simplified or omitted, and nothing on it should be used for navigation.
What sizes are available, and does it work as a gift?
It comes in a range of standard frame sizes, in whichever colorway you choose. It makes a good gift for a pilot who trained here, someone based in the Carson City hangars, or anyone with a Nevada connection, since the single runway shape is recognizable at a glance.
