Bloomin8 E-Ink Canvas
Bloomin8 sells its E-Ink Canvas in two sizes: the 13.3-inch at $499 (about £381 in the UK) and the 28.5-inch Canvas Large at $2,399 (about £1,830 in the UK). Both use a Spectra 6 color screen and work without a cloud account.
Bloomin8 makes a color e-ink picture frame, which its store spells as one word, the Eink Canvas. It drops into standard frames such as IKEA’s RÖDALM (Creative Bloq) and works without a cloud account. A 10-inch model is still crowdfunding and has no store price yet.
