EveryonePrint has launched a new version of
its mobile print software that enables users to
print from any smartphone, tablet or mobile
computer.
Version 4 includes new clustering and load
balancing features; support for three of the leading
Mobile Device Management solutions (AirWatch,
Good Technology and MobileIron); printing from
Windows phone devices using a newly developed
app; new features for Apple iOS and Android apps;
and Google Cloud Print from Android devices or
Chromebooks. It is also the only enterprise mobile
print solution to install on Linux Enterprise and IBM
System z mainframes.
Tavs Dalaa, CTO of EveryonePrint, said:
“EveryonePrint sits entirely within the customer’s
private network. It is hosted either on the premises
or in the customer’s hosted MPS environment,
but always within the customer network, so
there are no external dependencies or external
communication, making it highly secure – a
prerequisite for our customers within Defence,
Government, Finance and Healthcare.”
EveryonePrint has more than 8,000 installations
in 83 countries worldwide.
Secure printing from
Android devices
Cortado Mobile Solutions has enhanced
its enterprise mobility solution, Cortado
Corporate Server, with embedded Android
Print for Enterprises.
For the first time, users of Android
smartphones/tablets will be able to print
documents directly to network printers without
having to revert to a public cloud service like
Google Cloud Print.
Users can print to any printer assigned to
them by their administrator, and documents
stay fully SSL-encrypted from the device to the
printer, with all processing taking place on-
premise behind the company’s secure firewall.
For security of printed output users
can also use Personal Printing technology.
Integrated into Cortado Corporate Server,
this ensures printing only starts once the user
authenticates by using their mobile device to
scan a QR code at the printer of their choice.
Cortado Corporate Server already
supports printing from iOS devices.

Mobile printer
With Dual-Antenna Wi-Fi technology, extended battery life (11% longer than
the competition) and rugged construction designed to withstand drops of five
foot, the Printronix ML42 mobile thermal printer is made for all-day operation
in the most challenging warehouse conditions. Other highlights include a
high speed processor, extensive memory options, a back-lit LCD display,
large label-roll capacity and a forklift mount kit. For customers who don't
need supercharged data transmissions over WiFi, the ML42 is available in a
Bluetooth-only version.
Tech Data strengthens print offering
Tech Data has strengthened its offering for
printer resellers,with the announcement that
it is now providing the full range of Dell
printers in the UK and Ireland, alongside
Dell PCs, notebooks, thin clients and Dell
ProSupport services.
It has also appointed its first UK and Ireland
dedicated business development executive for HP
MFPs. In his new role Mike Leary will make sure HP
partners have access to all the products, accessories,
promotions and information they need to maximise
sales. He will also encourage more partners to make
use of HP managed print services.
Finally, Tech Data has formed a three-strong team
headed by Mike Cain to address the fast-growing
market for wearable technology and drive reseller
and retailer sales.
Tech Data already offers a range of wearable
devices from Samsung, Motorola, HTC, Alcatel,
ASUS and Acer, and is planning to make significant
additions to its portfolio.
Photo ordering from smartphones doubles
The number of consumers ordering photo products from smartphones
has doubled since 2013, according to Futuresource Consulting.
Its study of photo-sharing practices amongst consumers in France, Germany and
the UK – 500 in each country – shows that smartphones are the most popular way of
sharing images, with almost 40% of UK consumers using them for this purpose.
Jeremy Wills, Senior Print & Imaging Analyst at Futuresource, said: “In the past two years, we’ve seen
some ‘mushroom’ photo printing apps coming into the market, as well as a growth in the availability of
app and HTML-5 ordering platforms from existing photo resellers and retailers.
“Many of the sub-30 ‘digital native’ generation live in the moment and have also grown up in an
age when it is the norm to share photos digitally, so a photo printing app or platform that offers a quick
and easy way to order photo products and/or provides a creative or novelty element can be a catalyst.”

Digital receipts on your
smartphone
Point of sale printer manufacturer Star
Micronics has enhanced its free digital
receipting solution, AllReceipts, with
an Engage NOW feature that takes the
customer to a promotional landing page
highlighting discounts, new products and
coupons.
AllReceipts is an anonymous cloud-based
service for storing and managing receipts using
a smartphone. It is enabled within the Star
TSP100 printer driver and works independently
of a retailer’s POS software.
When a paper receipt is printed, a digital
copy is automatically sent to the AllReceipts
App on the customer’s mobile. Receipts can
be opened once by the customer and are then
deleted. Saved receipts can be viewed by date
or by retailer.
The Engage NOW feature is activated when
a customer touches the retailer’s logo within the
AllRecepits app.
The Star TSP100 printer has
over 5 million installations
worldwide.
