Gallery Plus is E INKS next-generation full color digital paper with improved color gamut and can display 50,000 colors. E Ink Gallery Plus is using E Ink Advanced Color E-Paper, a full color electronic ink system with four color pigments: cyan, magenta, yellow, and white, used to achieve a full color gamut at each pixel.
