About MGX

MGX is an industry leading manufacturer of printable specialty substrates for the commercial print industry. We are dedicated to producing and distributing high quality products that add value

Our history

Masterpiece Graphix was founded in 1998 from a shared passion for the print and graphic design industries, brought to life by founders Doug and Sharon Watson. Driven by their entrepreneurial spirit and problem-solving mindset, they set out to provide coated material solutions for HP Indigo owners in the early days of this revolutionary technology.

Over the following years, our team expanded, and our coating capabilities and expertise evolved, eventually shifting our focus to the commercial sheetfed market, which we serve today by providing best-in-class synthetic and specialty substrate solutions.

In 2019, we rebranded as MGX, marking a new chapter of growth and diversification. Following Doug and Sharon’s retirement in 2021, MGX continued to build upon the strong foundation they established, expanding our capabilities while maintaining our commitment to quality, innovation, and customer success.

Today, MGX stands at the intersection of innovation and dedication, carrying forward our founders’ entrepreneurial spirit and an unwavering commitment to our customers’ success.
