What is Aged Ledger Ink Wash SREF style

This style captures the essence of traditional Japanese artistic studies, often mimicking expressive sketches or limited-color prints transferred onto aged, lined ledger paper. It is characterized by raw, evocative line work, frequently utilizing a restricted monochrome palette (like teal or sepia washes) contrasted against the visible texture and imperfections of old documents. To achieve this specific look in **Midjourney**, you must structure your **prompt** to emphasize the media—such as "ink wash on aged notebook paper" or "monochrome woodblock print texture." This unique combination creates a deeply atmospheric and historical **style**, perfect for evocative character portraits, landscapes, or still life compositions imbued with nostalgia and Wabi-Sabi elements.

Frequently Asked Questions

What exactly is a Midjourney Style Reference (--sref)?

A Style Reference, or SREF, is a powerful feature that lets you use the aesthetic of a reference image to influence the style of your generations. Our library provides the direct SREF code for thousands of styles.

How do I understand and use the Aspect Ratio (--ar) parameter?

The --ar parameter controls the aspect ratio of your image. For example, --ar 16:9 creates a widescreen image. Our guide provides a full list of supported ratios.

Why is my SREF code not working?

Ensure you are using a compatible Midjourney version (v6 or newer) and check for typos. Sometimes, strong keywords in your prompt can override the style; try reducing the style weight (e.g., --sw 250).

Can I use this SREF code with a Character Reference (--cref)?

Yes, --sref and --cref can be used together. This is a powerful combination to maintain a consistent character while applying a consistent style.

Which versions support style reference?

Style Reference is compatible with Midjourney versions 6, 7, and Niji 6.

What is the default image size for Midjourney V7?

Midjourney V7 creates upscaled images at 2048 x 2048 pixels for the default 1:1 aspect ratio.

What is the default style weight and what range can I use?

The default style weight is --sw 100. You can set it between 0 and 1000.
