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.

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 Yakutat'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.

Yakutat Airport Runway Diagram Print
Yakutat Airport has two runways, and both are 150 feet wide, which is what makes this print read heavier than the size of the town would suggest. Runway 11/29 is the longer at 7,732 feet and is asphalt; 02/20 runs 6,475 feet in concrete. Plotted to scale from the published runway data, they sit on the sheet as two broad slabs set at close to a right angle to each other, not one strip and an afterthought. Field elevation is 40 feet, and the magnetic variation is 20E, an unusually large value, noted small in the corner the way a chart does it.
The scale makes sense once you know what built it. Yakutat Army Airfield went in here in 1940, part of the Army's long range defense program for Alaska, and the state runs the field now for a city and borough that has no road connection to the outside world at all. Flying is the road. Over the twelve months ending in May 2010, general aviation made up 68 percent of operations, and in 2020, over the twelve months ending in June, the three busiest routes off the field ran to Anchorage, Seattle and Juneau. This is also the airport where an Alaska Airlines 737 hit a bear on landing in November 2020, which tells you what kind of place the airport keeps company with. The drawing stays with the layout, composed from published airport information and available field depictions and set on a ground tone you choose, so it holds as a clean graphic mark from across a room.
Yakutat (YAK) print, common questions
