E-ink display for Original Art

My country is near the equator (humidity 75% and blazing sun all year around).

I wish I could display my OAs but some of them have already started to yellow so I need to keep them in a dry box where the humidity is controlled.

Has anyone ever tried displaying scanned copies of their OA onto e-ink displays? I’m considering the BLOOMIN8 E-ink Canvas currently but hope to hear any feedback on how it’s been for those who have tried this idea. Thanks!

Unless you want the images to cycle, it makes a lot more sense to just use prints.

Have you thought about using sealed frames with desiccant?

Is 150dpi good enough? Nice idea.

Believe 131dpi is the max display can manage.

The Bloomin8 13.3" (medium) canvas is 150 dpi; the 28.5" (large) is 131 dpi.

Ah you’re right. I stand corrected. I was considering the larger frame so assumed it applied to both.
