PrintSpectrum Internet Kiosks Powered by the PrinterOn Mobile Printing Solution
KITCHENER, Ontario, March 1, 2011 - PrinterOn(R) is pleased to announce the successful launch of the
PrintSpectrum public printing solution at 30 UK airport locations including
at Heathrow (all terminals), Gatwick, Stansted, Manchester, Newcastle,
Birmingham, Luon, Bristol, Edinburgh and Glasgow.
The PrintSpectrum service enables users to print directly from internet
kiosks, as well as from any internet-enabled device such as a smartphone,
tablet or laptop. With 130,000 pages printed at UK airports last year, the
service has been extremely popular with UK travelers.
"Partnering with Spectrum Interactive has made it possible to roll out
our solution to these UK locations quickly and successfully," said Ken
Noreikis, Vice President Sales & Marketing, PrinterOn Corporation. "Large
deployments in key markets like this are necessary for increasing awareness
and driving adoption of mobile printing worldwide."
Users can print boarding passes, emails, attachments and web content
simply by forwarding an email with attachment to a printer specific email
address or by uploading a document via URL to a printing portal. A unique
release code is displayed or emailed, which when entered on the printer's 22"
touchscreen interface retrieves the print job. The user can then pay by
credit/debit cards or coin. The job is then released to print, and when
completed the file is permanently deleted from the print server ensuring
total privacy.
Daniel Gray, Director of Travel Division for Spectrum added, "Public
printing solutions have become an essential service for airport travellers,
and thus equally important for our airport partners. This demand is
exceptionally strong during periods of travel disruption, which recently has
ranged from industrial strikes, to bad weather and even volcanic ash! Our
airport installations are unmanned and remotely managed, with the printer, PC
and touch screen built into a secure kiosk housing. We have successfully
interfaced the PrinterOn product with our own kiosk management software, to
enable full monitoring and management for the kiosk, payment for card and
coin, and an easy public interface with touch screen. Our next developments
include a stand-alone PrintPillar for areas with strong demand and a high
density of handheld or laptop devices."
PrintSpectrum pilot projects are currently underway at key airport
locations, Premier Inn and Travelodge Hotels including London City, Heathrow
and Manchester.
