Have you heard? Graphistudio is the official print partner of the WPPI The Annual 2022 competition! This is great news for all of WPPI The Annual‘s entrants—this new partnership means that photographers can work with a trusted print expert that has 40 years experience in providing award-winning photography prints to the global marketplace.  

“We partnered with Canon to offer HD ( High Definition) printing, which has set a new standard in our industry,” says Maureen Neises of Graphistudio. “The WPPI/Graphistudio print partnership will also provide a more user-friendly platform where photographers can upload their images and Graphistudio will print, mount and apply the label to the back of the mat and ship directly to WPPI.”

Here’s what you need to know: Files can be submitted to Graphistudio in sRGB or Adobe RGB. If you want to maximize the wider color gamut with HD (High Definition printing) you can submit Adobe RGB files.  All files should be 300 dpi, color corrected, and sized correctly.

I’ve ordered a number of fine-art prints by Graphistudio and they are far the best prints I’ve ordered. I entered print competitions at SWPP and WPPI and was the overall winner of the year at SWPP and won two years in a row at WPPI receiving 7 different awards. The fine art prints by Graphistudio have helped take my photography to the next level.  —Johnson Wee 


Graphistudio is also offering three different archival print options, all printed using the company’s HD technology.  “The paper range includes our HD Fine Art paper, HD Lustre and HD Glossy,” says Neises. “The prints are then mounted in a museum/gallery quality mat and Graphistudio will apply the print competition label and directly ship to the photographer or WPPI.”
