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 Chicago'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.

Lansing Municipal Airport Runway Diagram Print
Lansing Municipal (IGQ) has two runways, and the print draws them as a right angle that never closes: 09/27 runs flat across the upper part of the sheet, while 18/36 drops straight down the right side, starting well below the horizontal strip and reaching toward the bottom margin. The two are joined by a long taxiway that steps down and to the right from the apron area, so the composition reads as an L with a generous gap of empty paper inside it. Nothing crosses, nothing overlaps.
The numbers behind that shape are small and specific. Runway 18/36 is the longer of the pair at 4,002 feet by 75 feet, and 09/27 measures 3,395 feet by 75 feet, both listed with an ASPH-TRTD-G surface. Field elevation is 620 feet, and the sheet carries it along with the coordinates under the IGQ wordmark. Magnetic variation is 2W, which is part of why the north-south strip sits so nearly vertical on the page. Hangar rows and the apron sit in a lighter tone at the top left, close enough together to give the eye somewhere to land before it follows the taxiway south.
As artwork, the appeal is the asymmetry: a dense cluster of buildings and taxiways up top, one long quiet run of runway down the right, and a lot of open field. It holds a narrow vertical wall well, and it sits comfortably next to other airport prints in the same series, Valparaiso or Kenosha among them, where the layouts break differently. The runway markings, the taxiway ladder alongside 18/36 and the threshold numbers stay legible at a distance, and the colorway you choose sets how loudly the runway bars read against the background.
Chicago (IGQ) print, common questions
How many runways does Lansing Municipal have?
Two. Runway 18/36 is 4,002 feet long by 75 feet wide, and runway 09/27 is 3,395 feet long by 75 feet wide. Both are listed with an ASPH-TRTD-G surface.
What is IGQ, and where is the airport?
IGQ is the identifier for Lansing Municipal in Chicago, Illinois, at roughly 41.5349 degrees north and 87.5295 degrees west. Field elevation is 620 feet, and that figure is printed on the artwork.
Why do the runways look like an L on the print?
Because that is how the field is arranged: 09/27 runs east to west across the top, and 18/36 runs north to south along the right, set below and apart from the other strip rather than intersecting it. A taxiway connects them, which is the line you see stepping down from the apron.
How accurate is the layout?
Runway positions, lengths and orientations are plotted from published airport data, so the shapes and proportions follow the published diagram. It is still a piece of artwork, and fine details may be simplified or omitted. Pavement markings, lighting and signage are examples of what gets reduced for legibility at wall scale.
What formats does this come in?
Four: Fine Art Print, Framed Fine Art Print, Glossy Metal Print and Digital Download. Physical pieces are made to order in a range of sizes, and the digital option is a file you print yourself.
Is this a good gift for a pilot who flies out of IGQ?
It works well for anyone with a connection to the field, since the two runways and the hangar rows are recognizable at a glance to someone who has taxied there. The identifier, the city and the 620 foot elevation are set below the diagram, so the reference is clear without a caption.
