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 Merced'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.

Merced Yosemite Regional Airport Runway Diagram Print
Merced Yosemite Regional has one runway, and the print gives it the whole page. Runway 12/30 is 5,914 feet long and 150 feet wide, and it is rendered as one unbroken bar that runs from the upper left corner down to the lower right, with the 12 marker at the top end and the 30 marker at the bottom. Field elevation is 155 feet. Coordinates, elevation and the identifier sit in the lower right block under the letters MCE.
The single strip is what makes this one work as artwork. There is no crossing runway to split the frame, so the eye follows one long diagonal from corner to corner while the taxiway system and the apron buildings gather along its upper side in a lighter grey. That contrast, one dark line against a loose cluster of pale shapes, is the whole composition. The published magnetic variation of 15E is part of the data behind the drawing, which is why the bar sits at the angle it does rather than square to the paper.
A one runway field rewards a clean wall. The diagonal is strong enough to carry a narrow stretch of wall on its own, and it also reads well as part of a row of single runway diagrams where every frame tilts a different way. The Atwater print can hang beside this one. Whichever colorway you choose, the runway bar stays the darkest element and the 12 and 30 numerals stay legible at normal viewing distance.
Merced (MCE) print, common questions
How many runways does Merced Yosemite Regional have?
One. Runway 12/30 is the only runway, and the print shows it as a single diagonal bar with no crossing strip.
How long is the runway at MCE?
Runway 12/30 is 5,914 feet long and 150 feet wide, with an asphalt surface. Those figures come from the published airport data the drawing is built on.
What does MCE stand for and where is the airport?
MCE is the identifier for Merced Yosemite Regional, in Merced, California. Its ICAO code is KMCE. The print lists the coordinates as 37.2848 degrees north, 120.5139 degrees west, with field elevation 155 feet.
How accurate is the layout in this print?
The runway, taxiways and apron areas are plotted from published runway data, so the single 12/30 strip runs at its published orientation. This is a composed graphic for a wall, and fine details may be simplified or omitted. Surface markings, lighting and taxiway signage fall into that category.
What sizes and formats can I get?
Several sizes are offered, and the format choices are a Fine Art Print, a Framed Fine Art Print, a Glossy Metal Print, or a Digital Download. The physical formats are made to order; the download is a file. Because the MCE layout is one long diagonal, larger sizes give the bar more room to stretch.
Does this work as a gift?
Yes, particularly for someone whose flying, training or working days are tied to Merced Yosemite Regional. The identifier and the 12 and 30 runway numbers are readable from across a room, so the connection lands without explanation.
