FAQ & prompts

A hardware-enabled SaaS platform for full-color e-paper signage, built around E Ink Spectra™ 6 display technology rather than LED or printed paper. The hardware runs independently in the field; the EverInq OS™ is where fleets are managed and content is pushed from. See the full technology and platform overview.

Every content change on printed signage means a reprint, a delivery, and a labor visit. EverInq pushes content changes from the cloud to every unit in a fleet, and the EverInq Core™ energy-logic module is hot-swappable in the field, so routine service doesn't require a specialist truck roll or taking a unit offline.

Yes — because content updates push in minutes rather than a print-and-deliver cycle measured in days, pricing, promotions, and menu changes can go live the same day an operational decision is made, rather than waiting on the next print run.

The display draws power only when an image changes and holds it at zero power afterward, and the platform is solar-assisted — which cuts standby energy draw compared to an always-on display, and cuts the paper waste stream compared to printed signage.

Bistable displays hold an image using pigment particles that physically stay in place without continuous power, drawing energy only when the image actually changes. That's what makes them readable in direct sunlight and able to hold content for long stretches on battery or solar power alone. The color panel EverInq currently uses is E Ink's Spectra™ 6.

LED and LCD displays compete with direct sunlight, draw continuous power, and usually need a hardwired feed — all of which limit where they can go. E Ink-based signage is reflective like paper, stays legible in full sun, and only draws power on a content change.

The platform is designed to run from a hot-swappable EverInq Core™ energy-logic module with solar assist rather than a hardwired power run, in most placements. Actual runtime between service visits depends on refresh frequency, climate, and sun exposure at a given site.

The current prototype uses a 13.3″ panel as a scaled demo unit. Planned pilot SKUs include full-size A-Frame and T-Frame pillar units (single- and double-sided) and a shelf or tabletop unit, scaling up to larger E Ink Spectra™ 6 panel sizes. More in the platform & hardware overview.

Active prototype: the EverInq OS™ prototype stack is fully developed, with internal hardware, firmware, and web and mobile applications tested and demo-ready. The remaining work is external hardware enclosure fabrication, currently about half complete. Pilot outreach is targeted for Q4 2026. See the current stage in full.

A provisional patent application has been filed covering the hardware architecture, firmware logic, and software layer, with a non-provisional filing planned.

EverInq fits into normal monthly operating expenses rather than requiring a large capital outlay: a nominal one-time setup and activation fee, plus an ongoing per-unit subscription that bundles EverInq OS™ access, support, and the hardware itself. At the end of each term, you can upgrade to newer hardware instead of being locked into what you started with. Final pricing is still being shaped through pilot conversations — reach out to discuss your deployment.

EverInq builds the full platform — hardware, firmware, and the EverInq OS™ — rather than supplying a display panel or module on its own, and is designed to remain resilient through power interruptions instead of losing its displayed image. See the partnership and platform position for how this fits alongside E Ink and other ecosystem partners.
