“Excelente pantalla de tinta electrónica, grande y con una resolución de colores muy realista. Perfecta para montar en un marco RÖDALM de ikea de 21x30cm.
Funcionado con una Pi Zero W2 y InkyPi.
Muy recomendable, merece la pena.”
“I’ve put the Inky Impression 13.3 (2025 Edition) into a custom wooden frame to make a photo viewer.
Compared with earlier revisions, this edition cuts the screen refresh time to less than half. That’s brilliant!
The Spectra 6 used in the 2025 Edition drops one colour (orange) compared with the previous Gallery Palette, but Pimoroni’s library abstracts that difference, so the same Python script runs without any changes. In other words, there’s no need to implement your own error-diffusion: the library handles it natively and quickly. It’s perfectly usable even on a Raspberry Pi Zero 2. I’m running a Zero 2 W on four Ni-H AA cells. For the microSD, I use an overlay file system—i.e. the root (/) is mounted read-only—so even if the system shuts down abruptly due to battery drain, I’ve had no issues at all.
I’ve heard rumours that the panel manufacturer has larger Spectra 6 sizes in its line-up. If Pimoroni were to release a 31.5-inch Spectra 6 version, I’d be very keen to buy one.”
“The screen was well packed, it looks incredible and it arrived in a very reasonable time.
What more can one wish for? (Except for a European warehouse so I don't have to pay import taxes for my next project.. )”
“The hardware is amazing. People who think this product is overpriced think again. Yields are very low for larger e-ink screens. The build quality is also two steps better than waveshare displays. The price checks out. Also Pimoroni customer service is awesome.
I am working the product into a self built digital photo frame. But it will also show generated dashboards. Black on white text is nice to read.
Also the software libraries from Pimoroni are well documented and the examples really help. Much appreciated. The display and a raspberry pi zero 2W is a seamless, neat and very servicable combo.”
“(Regarding the 13.3" model) It's a beautiful display and much higher resolution and color accuracy than the previous models. Obviously the color accuracy in general is not great in comparison to something like an LCD screen, since it's only six colors, but those colors a much brighter than the pre-2025 models, and the dithering of the python library is quite good, so unless you have the original image to compare colors, you'd likely not notice. That said, the example python image script messes with the aspect ratio, so I suggests you resize/crop your pictures before running them through it (easy with a simple imagemagick command).
The display is almost exactly 8.5"x11", so it fits almost perfectly in a frame for that size *from the front*. The board fits in the 8.5" direction, with only a small line on the top/bottom, as long as you pad inside the frame to center it, but needs more room in the 11" direction, as the board is about 11.5". So as long as you can cut some of the back of the frame out to make room for it, it will fit, and if you mat it into a larger frame, then you can accomodate the differences anyway.
I had some issues where the white wasn't displaying as white, but customer service was great and got me a replacement in no time.”
