What is Grainy Print SREF style

This style captures the aesthetic of contemporary digital art that mimics traditional screen-printed or risograph effects. Key features include simplified, bold geometric shapes, a limited color palette, and a pervasive, high-contrast grain texture applied across all elements, including the background. In Midjourney, incorporating terms like "stippled texture," "grainy," or "muted colors" helps achieve this distinct, tactile look. Generating compelling results often requires careful crafting of the prompt to balance the graphic simplicity with the richness of the texture layer, making it perfect for stylized character designs or scene compositions.

  • Portrait of an old fisherman with deep wrinkles, strong chiaroscuro, simplified facial features, heavy paper texture, cinematic lighting
  • An isometric view of a cozy, crowded attic library, deep shadows, rich mahogany and emerald colors, detailed clutter, strong textured illustration style
  • A surreal landscape where giant mechanical birds perch on melting clocks, desert setting, high contrast, textured illustration

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.
