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 San Jose'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.

Norman Y Mineta San Jose International Airport Runway Diagram Print
SJC draws as two long parallel strips and nothing that crosses them. Both runways, 12L/30R and 12R/30L, measure 11,000 feet by 150 feet on a grooved concrete surface, so the print carries a matched pair of dark diagonals running from the upper left of the sheet down to the lower right, plotted from published runway data. The field elevation is 62 feet. Between and outside the pair sits the grey lattice of taxiways, aprons and terminal footprints, and on a two runway field that lattice is what gives the composition its texture: the runways supply the line, the ground network supplies the weight.
The long pair is not how the airport started. The runway that became 12R/30L was much shorter into the 1960s and was extended in stages over the following decades before the two reached their current matched length. The field sits northwest of downtown San Jose, near the intersections of US Route 101, Interstate 880 and State Route 87, and it is hemmed in on all sides by the city with little room left to expand. San Francisco and Oakland keep their main airports well out from their own downtowns; this one is inside the city limits, which is why the whole diagram compresses into one narrow diagonal band instead of sprawling.
The airport carries the name of Norman Y. Mineta, a San Jose native who served as the city's mayor and later as United States Secretary of Transportation. The title block under the diagram keeps the sheet honest: the identifier SJC, the city and state, the coordinates and the field elevation, set in small type so the runway geometry stays the subject. Two parallel lines at a steady angle is a quiet piece of art. It hangs well in a hallway, a home office or beside a desk, and whichever colorway you choose, the pair of strips is the first thing the eye follows.
San Jose (SJC) print, common questions
How many runways does SJC have, and how long are they?
Two. Runway 12L/30R and runway 12R/30L are each 11,000 feet long and 150 feet wide, with a grooved concrete surface. Both appear on the print as parallel strips of equal length.
Where is SJC and what is its elevation?
It is Norman Y Mineta San Jose International in San Jose, California, sitting at 62 feet of elevation northwest of the downtown core. The coordinates printed on the sheet are 37.3630 N, 121.9286 W.
What does the code SJC mean?
SJC is the three letter identifier for Norman Y Mineta San Jose International. It is the code you see on a boarding pass or a bag tag, and it is the code set in large type at the bottom of this print.
How accurate is the diagram?
The runway pair, their designators and the surrounding taxiway and apron shapes are plotted from published airport information, so the angles and proportions follow the documented layout. It is a design print, not a navigation chart: fine details may be simplified or omitted for legibility at wall size, and it should never be used for flight planning.
What sizes and finishes are available?
The SJC diagram is offered in several standard sizes, as a fine art print, framed or on metal, and the long diagonal of the runway pair fills a portrait frame nicely. Every print is made to order in the colorway you choose, and US shipping is free.
Is this a good gift for someone connected to San Jose?
Yes. It works for pilots, controllers, frequent Bay Area flyers, anyone who grew up under the approach path, or someone marking a move away from or back to the city. The layout is specific enough to be recognized instantly by people who know the field.
