InkPoster is a Digital Art Poster with color ePaper screens created to display static art in full color and gallery-level quality. InkPosters’ screens are reflective, ensuring a paper-like look without backlight and glare. These posters are battery-powered, cordless, and can operate for up to 1 year on a single charge depending on usage. The InkPoster App enables wireless content management and provides access to a curated collection of thousands of artworks. InkPoster is developed by PocketBook, a Swiss company with decades of experience in ePaper display technology.

Unlike photo frames and art TVs (which use backlit LCD/OLED/other panels), InkPoster uses an e-paper screen, which:

• Uses power only when the image changes.
• Doesn’t require backlight and doesn’t emit harmful Blue Light.
• Is glare-free and paper-like, looking like real printed art rather than a screen.

InkPoster is also:

• Cordless and wireless.
• Completely silent and doesn’t emit heat.

You can use it in homes, galleries, hotels, offices, restaurants, and retail spaces. Its cordless design makes it ideal for locations where visible wiring is undesirable. And its health-conscious approach makes InkPoster a safe and sustainable solution for any living space, even bedrooms or childrens’ rooms. 

The battery can last up to a year on a single charge, depending on how frequently you update the image.

No, InkPoster is cordless and battery-powered. Power is only needed when changing an image, that’s why it works for up to a year on a single charge.

InkPoster does not need a backlight to display paper-like art in a gallery-level quality. It uses reflective e-paper technology, making it look like traditional printed art. No backlight also makes InkPoster a sustainable and health-conscious solution that emits no harmful Blue Light, has no heat emissions (especially when it is used in Power-Off mode), and is completely silent.

InkPoster provides access to thousands of curated artworks via the InkPoster App, which can be downloaded at the App Store or Google Play. You can also upload and display your own photographs or images.

The InkPoster App is essential for all InkPoster users. Here's why:

• Initial setup: you need the application to connect the InkPoster to Wi-Fi and pair it with your account.
• Content management: all artwork uploads, image changes, and access to the curated art library happen through the application.
• Device control: you manage multiple devices, orientation, and other settings via the application.
• Firmware updates: the application may also handle system updates to keep your InkPoster functioning properly.

Without the InkPoster App, the device can't receive new images or be customized. It’s the primary interface for interacting with your InkPoster.

Yes, via the InkPoster App, you can upload and display images from your personal gallery.

InkPoster App offers convenient and easy-to-use adjustment tools to make your images match the aspect ratio of the device, depending on the device’s orientation mode - portrait or landscape.

InkPoster uses a full-color ePaper technology. Unlike LCD or OLED, which update pixels instantly using light, E Ink relies on moving charged pigment particles to form an image — a slower mechanical process.

Aligning millions of color e-ink microcapsules for accurate art reproduction is called “ink-printing”. You may see it as flickering while selected art is appearing on the screen. It may take 10-20 seconds.

At the core of every InkPoster's ePaper screen are millions of microcapsules filled with color pigments. When an electric field is applied, these pigments rise to the surface to form vibrant, lifelike images. 

This process is called “ink-printing”, you may see it as flickering while selected art is appearing on the screen. It may take 10-20 seconds.

The difference in price reflects the different screen technologies used and the associated components’ costs. 

The 31.5-inch screen of InkPoster Affresco is based on the cutting-edge E Ink Spectra 6 color technology. The 28.5-inch InkPoster Tela model is equipped with a screen that combines the same E Ink Spectra 6 with Sharp IGZO technology.  The E Ink Spectra 6 ensures vivid full-color performance, while the IGZO backplane delivers even faster image updates.

As of now, the battery is not user-replaceable. The battery servicing or replacement — if needed — should be done by the certified service partners.

Yes, InkPoster ensures gallery-level quality of full-color and monochrome (black-and-white) images. InkPoster’s ePaper screen supports about 60,000 colors.

Yes, the device supports portrait and landscape modes, depending on how you mount it.

Yes, you can change artworks on your InkPoster remotely. Here is how to do it:

• Ensure Wi-Fi on your InkPoster is switched-on.
• In the InkPoster App, set the “Sync Interval.”
• When you're away from your device (just next door or in another country), select new art and send it to your InkPoster. 
• Based on the chosen sync interval, the device will receive and update the artwork.

Out of the box, your new InkPoster is in Shipping mode. To exit Shipping mode and initialize the device, connect the charger to the InkPoster using the supplied USB-C cable.

To reset your InkPoster press the Power button 7 times. A successful factory reset will be followed by the default screensaver picture being displayed on the screen. After the reset procedure, add your InkPoster to your InkPoster App account again.

You can also perform a reset through the application Menu. Just make sure you are within Bluetooth range.

In Power-Off mode, your InkPoster continues to display artworks in gallery-quality, while consuming no power and generating no heat. This feature enhances energy efficiency without compromising visual appeal.

To activate Power-Off mode:

• Press and hold the power button for 5 seconds.
• The LED indicator will blink three times, confirming the shutdown, then turn off.
• Your InkPoster is now powered off, but the current image will remain visible on the screen.

In Power-Off mode, the device is effectively turned off and does not maintain any connection to the server or the app.

The device can be powered on again with a single press of the Power button.

Ghosting is a common effect observed across all E Ink screens. You may see it as traces of a previous image remain visible after the display updates. To prevent ghosting, we suggest changing art on your InkPoster at least once per 2-3 months.

To get rid of ghosting, update the image on your InkPoster for 7-10 times, until it is removed.

You need the “Forget InkPoster” feature if you plan to gift or transfer your InkPoster to someone else. Without using this feature, the new user won’t be able to add the device to their account in the InkPoster App.

Yes, you can add multiple InkPosters to your account, allowing you to create your own personalized art wall of several InkPosters.

The sizes and proportions of the frame and passepartout were thoughtfully designed by PocketBook’s award-winning product design team. Their work has received multiple recognitions with the Red Dot Award. Inspired by classic gallery frames, these proportions are carefully chosen to complement the presentation of artworks on the InkPoster.

There is no limitation on the maximum resolution of the image uploaded to InkPoser. The system will automatically resize the image to match the resolution supported by the specific InkPoser model. However, the higher the resolution of the image, the longer the processing time will be.
