Available for free download for Google and Apple iOS smartphones from January 2015, HP today announced their new HP Latex Mobile application, which allows HP Latex 300 Printer series customers to remotely monitor their printers, track job status and receive printer alerts.

The mobile app is showcased in HP booth 2045 at SGIA Expo 2014 alongside HP’s broad portfolio of large-format printing solutions. HP also announced that HP Latex 831 inks are now a 3M MCS warranty component for the HP Latex 360 Printer, as well as new environmental certifications for HP Latex Inks from the American Society for Testing Materials （ASTM） and the Japan Environment Association.

“Print service providers （PSPs） are under increasing pressure from customers to deliver on-time, urgent jobs while providing guaranteed, industry-leading work,” said Xavier Garcia, vice president and general manager, Large-Format Sign and Display Division, HP. “The HP Latex Mobile app marks the beginning of a new era of smart printing, giving customers peace of mind while they are at and away from the print shop, as well as helping them to better address time-sensitive requests and gain customer loyalty.”

HP offers innovative user experience with HP Latex Mobile app

The HP Latex Mobile app, which will be free to download for smartphones in January 2015 and for tablets in mid-2015 from Google Play and the Apple App Store, offers remote monitoring for HP Latex 310, 330 and 360 Printers, including job information, print status and alerts. With the app, PSPs can stay informed as to the status of print jobs while out of the office and track projects through completion, as well as monitor print status and supplies to avoid surprises.

“The HP Latex Mobile application has not only simplified my working processes, its remote monitoring capabilities also give me the confidence to know what’s happening while I’m out of the office,” said Jose María Mi?arro, manager, Mi?arro Impresión.

HP has installed more than 21,500 HP Latex printers worldwide, including the HP Latex 300 series printers introduced in April, with customers printing more than 3 billion square feet （280 million square meters） of output. The HP Latex 300 Printer series opens additional profit pools for customers with wider application versatility and same-day delivery, while ease of use, simplified operation and advanced color management functionalities keep costs low.
