I actually have an Inkplate at home. The 8 gray shades they support are unfortunately not evenly distributed, which makes it difficult to display images in good quality.
You can't define more than 8. The API allows only 3 bit input. I also tinkered with the lookup table, and was able to create a lot of different gray shades, but I was not able to produce ~40-60% gray.

Maybe it just needs a better lookup table or some preprocessing.
I’ve seen some impressive 1-bit displays, so 8 shades shouldn’t be harder than that.
