Unique Service Offers High Quality, Affordable
13”x19” Prints from Leading Social Media Photographers Sold
Exclusively Through the Canon Online Store
Canon U.S.A., Inc., a leader in digital imaging solutions, today
announced Canon UBUPrints – a new service that provides influential
social media photographers with the ability to take their Instagram
photography to a new level of sharing by offering exclusive 13”x19”
prints that are meant to not only reinforce a connection with their
followers but to also channel the power of the printed image.
This first-of-its-kind unique service, with prints exclusively
available for purchase through the Canon Online Store, utilizes the
precision and high-quality output capabilities of the Canon PIXMA
PRO Printer lineup to turn popular images posted on Instagram into
dynamic wall décor. Beginning today, photos are available for
purchase from social influencers Tyson Wheatley (@twheat) and
Natalie Amrossi (@misshattan), allowing their devoted followers,
and consumers in general, an opportunity to own and display
professionally-printed photography that speaks to their character
and defines their personality.
“Social media makes it easy to share images quickly around the
world, but it does not connect people to images in the way that a
tangible print can,” said Yuichi Ishizuka, president and COO, Canon
U.S.A., Inc. “UBUPrints’ mission is to revitalize photography
enthusiasts’ intrinsic love and appreciation for beautiful imagery
through trusted influencers’ conveyance of the power of the
print.”
The UBUPrints service currently offers 13”x19” prints from each
influencer on either Matte or Photo Glossy paper. A single standard
print is available for $99.99.

About Natalie Amrossi (@misshattan)
Born and raised in New York, Natalie was always passionate about
the art of creating. At an early age, her mind was set on working
and living in the heart of Manhattan. After earning her Bachelors
of Science and Business Management degree, she accepted an offer
working for a financial institution. She specialized in the
investment banking research department. While coming and going to
the office on the New York City streets, she realized that her
passion was right in front of her. She began to take pictures and
see things the way her mind had always envisioned them. Two years
into her career, Natalie woke up one morning realizing what her
true passion was; photography. With no planning but a positive gut
feeling, she left the corporate financial world to now become a
freelance photographer. Since then, Natalie has been featured on
the Wall Street Journal, Vogue, NY.com, and has partnered with such
brands as Canon, Jaguar, AT&T, Nike, Beats by Dre, etc.
