Like its 5.7" sibling, the 7.3" Inky Impression is plug-and-play: panel and driver board are one unit that slots onto the GPIO header. Both the original 7-colour version and the 2025 Spectra 6 edition are supported with native drivers - there's even a driver for the 13.3" 2025 edition.

Setup

  1. Plug the HAT onto the Pi, flash the SD card, add the frame in the backend.
  2. Select the matching Pimoroni Inky Impression 7.3" driver (original or 2025 edition).
  3. Save & deploy. The display blinks through its refresh cycle and shows your scene.
