HP is preparing to showcase its latest technology for the commercial printing segment at drupa in hall 17.
It will be, it claims, the world’s biggest digital printing showcase the 11-day Dusseldorf event has seen.
In keeping with the evolving landscape of drupa, HP will also display new hardware and solutions for labels and packaging, large-format, sign and display application areas.
Launched today, and making its debut at the stand, will be HP PrintOS, a cloud-based, mobile platform that simplifies and automates print production management for print service providers across all segments.
Print OS is an open, secure and integrated platform which can be used with HP Indigo, PageWide Web Press, Scitex and Latex digital printing technology.
Featuring a suite of intuitive web-based and mobile applications, PrintOS helps simplify and automate print production, enabling customers to start printing jobs faster.
Additionally, cloud connectivity allows customers to monitor print status remotely as well as track and improve production performance over time.
“HP is bringing the full power of our vast portfolio of digital printing solutions to drupa 2016, featuring breakthrough innovations,” said Rob Le Bras-Brown, global head of print marketing, HP Inc.
“With today’s introduction of HP PrintOS and more ground-breaking pre-drupa announcements to come, HP is following through on our promise to ‘keep reinventing’ with advancements across application segments that truly enable our customers to reinvent their possibilities.”
Among others, PrintOS applications include:
Box, a tool simplifying job onboarding through non-automated channels like email and file transfer services. Often, a disproportionate amount of time and effort are invested in handling jobs prior to production. By standardising processes, Box reduces upfront overhead, increasing capacity and improving profitability.
Site Flow, which combines automated order submission, pre-press and shop floor management capabilities to address the needs of PSPs serving the business-to-business and business-to-business-to-consumer markets. The application allows PSPs to offer attractive costs and higher levels of service to fulfill hundreds, thousands or tens of thousands of individual, personalised print orders every day, including direct shipment to end customers.
