Ink 10" is Aura’s cordless, rechargeable e-paper frame with a 10-inch E Ink Spectra™ 6 display.
Ink 10” feels like a print and functions like a digital frame. Its energy-efficient e-paper display is made up of tiny ink particles that arrange themselves into your photo and stay in place without using power. Like a printed photograph, it has a natural, paper-like look, softly illuminated by a built-in front light, and a single charge delivers months of battery life.
Ink 10" has a higher pixel density than Aura’s other Ink frame, Ink 13”. Its 1600 x 1200 resolution is packed into a 10" display, which works out to 200 PPI, up from 150 PPI on Ink 13". PPI stands for pixels per inch, or how many tiny dots make up each inch of the screen. More dots mean finer detail. The display renders photos in softly-lit, natural tones, so your memories have a warm, vintage look.
Ink 10" also uses the E Ink Spectra™ 6 nine-color system, which adds three new custom base colors (off-white, mustard yellow, and orange) to the six core base colors (black, white, red, yellow, blue, and green). Family photos are the most common use for our frames, so we chose the new colors to fill gaps in the original palette that most often show up in those images. The result is more even color on faces, richer detail in textures like grass, and more natural transitions in gradients like a sky at sunset.
The design completes the look. A floating, bezel-style frame and a dark, linen-textured mat give Ink 10" a gallery feel, and at 11.0" x 9.0" x 0.8", it stays slim and compact.
If you’re considering an Ink frame, we encourage you to visit our Aura Ink webpage and review all the information, from the frame size to the details of how it transitions from one photo to the next overnight.
A few callouts for the Ink frames include: photos only (no videos or live photos); a maximum of 12 photo changes per day; and a connection to the internet at all times for operation. Photo transitions take approximately 30 seconds and include some flashing as the ink particles move into place.
Ink has a built-in lithium-ion battery that cannot be removed or serviced.
Many customers ask whether Ink frames can stay plugged in. It can, and leaving it plugged in at all times is safe.
Important: If your frame stops charging properly, or you see any damage or change in its shape, such as a bulging or swollen frame, or gaps or splits in the casing, stop using it. Keep it somewhere safe, cool, and dry, and reach out to the Aura Customer Care team for safe handling and replacement options.
