Mobile
printing
app
Cartridge World has launched
a mobile printing app and
announced plans to create
a network of public print
stations in conjunction with
Samsung. The PrintWorld app,
initially available in the US,
gives consumers the ability
to print and scan from/to a
smartphone, tablet or laptop
when away from the office.
In the future, mobile workers
will be able to use the app
to make use of thousands
of printers placed by
Cartridgeworld and Samsung
in rail/bus stations, retail
outlets, shopping malls and
educational establishments
across the US and then
globally. Cartridge World has
400 stores in North America
and over 1,000 worldwide. It
plans to open an additional
3,000 stores by 2019.

Direct
access to Fiery
Command Station

mono printers to provide direct access to Fiery
Command WorkStation, giving print room operators complete
control of their workflows through one easy-to-use interface.
The MX-M1205 (120ppm) and MX-M1055 (105ppm) include
a One-Touch Fiery Gateway Key, which brings users straight to
the Command WorkStation, eliminating the need for additional
hardware. Productivity features include a customisable 15.4”
LCD touchscreen; the ability to change toner without interrupting
a print job; full-front access for easy maintenance; a Remote

Print management
for all
Printix, which was set up
by co-founders of print
management specialist
Safecom, has introduced a
premium cloud-based print
management specialist
for SMEs. Printix Freedom
enables users to print to
any network printer from
any device, with a secure
print feature for releasing
confidential documents from
mobiles. Printix says its
solution can be deployed in
a matter of minutes, with
no need to install vendor-
specific software, proprietary
drivers or ID card readers.
With everything managed
securely in the Printix
cloud, there is also no need
for a print or application
server. Earlier this year,
Printix launched a freeware
solution, Printix Zero, for
automating the management
of local print servers and
print drivers.
