Today, E Ink launched E Ink Gallery Plus – their next-generation full color digital paper with improved color gamut and 40% better contrast ratio. This new generation is available in various sizes to cater to different customers in the digital signage market across the retail, restaurant and transportation industries. E Ink Gallery Plus reduces the impact on the environment by replacing single-use printed posters in commercial advertising and public information displays, emphasizing the company’s commitment to sustainability.
