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.

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 Des Moines'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.

Des Moines International Airport Runway Diagram Print
This print traces Des Moines International southwest of Iowa's capital, with published airport information guiding the two-runway crossing near the center of the composition. Runway 05/23 runs 9,004 feet and 13/31 runs 9,001 feet, both 150 feet wide, and those published dimensions guide the relative proportions of the X-shaped composition.
DSM is a joint civilian and military field. The Iowa Air National Guard's 132nd Wing has sat at the end of runway 13/31 since the 1960s. The airport serves the wider Des Moines metro, and in 2025 it moved past three million passengers.
The airport was built on farmland south of town in the early 1930s and took the international name in 1986. If you have connected through the region, the diagram will feel at home next to fields like Omaha to the west. Set on a wall, it stays legible at a distance and holds up to a closer read of the taxiways and aprons drawn around the runways.
Des Moines (DSM) print, common questions
What runways are shown on the Des Moines (DSM) print?
Both of the field's runways: 05/23 at 9,004 feet and 13/31 at 9,001 feet, each 150 feet wide. They cross near the middle of the field, which is the X shape you see in the diagram.
How does the DSM print relate to the airport's layout?
Published airport information and available field depictions guide the DSM composition, including the runway designators and relative geometry. It is original wall art, so fine details may be simplified or omitted.
What color options are there?
The diagram comes in a range of ground tones so you can match your wall or framing. You pick the one that fits your space at checkout.
How is it made and shipped?
Each print is made to order and ships free within the US. It is rendered from the real field layout rather than a stock template.
Will the text stay readable?
The airport code, city, and coordinates sit in the lower corner and stay crisp at print size, so the piece works both up close and from across a room.
