Sharpmark’s label printing software is now available free to download from its website at http://www.sharpmarkusa.com. It enables electrical installers to organize and label their systems clearly and professionally. This allows maintenance and trouble-shooting to be completed quickly and efficiently with minimum downtime.

Sharpmark software enables installers to print their own cable, patch panel and data jack labels using an office laser printer. There is no need for custom printers to produce clear, professional-looking labels that are durable and easy to read.

Using Sharpmark software is intuitive and requires no training. It is pre-loaded with all the Sharpmark label part numbers and standard templates to fit components from many manufacturers. Users can also create their own job from scratch, selecting the part number and layout of choice. Sharpmark software has complex number-generating capabilities to cater for all types of numbering schemes using numeric and alpha sequences as well as fixed text. The user just enters the start point and end point of the sequence and the software completes the rest. Its versatility also enables many layout options for each label, importing data from spread sheets and word processors as well as graphics.

HELIOS earns soft proof certification from Fogra

Hannover, Germany (PRWEB) February 24, 2010

HELIOS WebShare UB+ has been certified by the Fogra Graphic Technology Research Association for soft proofs in compliance with FOGRA39 conditions. Along with the Quato monitors Intelli Proof 240 excellence LED, Intelli Proof 240 excellence, and Intelli Proof 262 excellence, HELIOS WebShare UB+ received the coveted FograCert soft proof certification for high-quality visual matching of a FOGRA39 (ISOcoatedv2) printed reference. Awarding the respected soft proof certificate to the HELIOS web-based proof solution, Fogra recognizes soft proofs as a fully qualified contract proof.

The FograCert soft proofing system specifies detailed technical requirements for a soft proofing system to visually match a printing condition. HELIOS WebShare UB+ proofs displayed in a web browser via a Quato proof monitor produced an excellent quality visual match to the printed reference. Web-based remote proofing is a promising, time effective and cost reducing alternative to proof prints. HELIOS WebShare UB+ remote proofing is an excellent solution to save time and money for designers, printers, and their clients, as well as print and web production teams, who must collaborate, often at a distance, to produce the desired product.

“Proofing is an important part of each production workflow. With HELIOS WebShare UB+ remote soft proofing we have enhanced the HELIOS proof capabilities,” states Helmut Tschemernjak, CEO of HELIOS Software GmbH. “HELIOS local and remote proofing solutions can be used by all parties throughout the production process, to speed up creation and collaboration, and to save additional time and money downstream by preventing surprises.”

The FograCert is another official recognition of the outstanding quality of the HELIOS proofing solutions. In 2009 the IPA (International Prepress Association) Proofing RoundUP confirmed that HELIOS WebShare proofing produced excellent results on a remote non-PostScript Epson R2880 inkjet printer. The IPA Proofing RoundUP results and the FograCert underscore that HELIOS WebShare UB+ proofing is an excellent solution for soft proofs as well as printed proofs, both for local use as well as for remote access.

Benefits of the HELIOS WebShare UB+ remote proof solution include:

Reliable remote soft proof now certified by Fogra, accelerates approval workflows
High quality remote proof printing on standard inkjet printer reduces proofing costs
Versatile proofing features allow for customer specific approval set-ups
Easy to use remote proofing supports remote approval collaborations
Excellent soft proof and proof printing capabilities via any web browser
No hidden proofing costs or “click charges” as remote proofing is integral part of HELIOS WebShare

Technical details of the FograCert certification of the HELIOS WebShare remote proofing solution, as well as descriptions of additional proofing features of the HELIOS Server Solution Suite can be found at the new HELIOS web site http://www.helios.de

San Diego, CA (Vocus) February 18, 2010

When it comes to conservation, most people know about recycling paper, plastics, glass and even batteries, cell phones and the oil from a car engine. Some are more green-conscious and use energy-saving light bulbs, hybrid cars, solar heating, captured rainwater or organic food. But not many think about the printer ink and toner cartridges from their home printer.

“Each year, it’s estimated that almost 350 million printer cartridges end up in landfills,” says Serhat Pala, president of PrintCountry.com. “Ninety percent of printer ink cartridges are thrown away, and that number is growing by ten percent a year. Most discarded cartridges still have ink in them that can seep into the ground, causing widespread soil damage. Obviously, this has an adverse effect on our environment.”

PrintCountry.com is announcing a partnership with HalfTheInk.com to help customers save both money and printer ink. It’s estimated that a typical household spends between $ 200 to $ 350 a year on printer ink and toner. Beginning January 28th 2009, selected PrintCountry website visitors will receive a free trail of PretonSaver™ Home printer ink saving software, which saves up to 70 percent on printer ink and toner usage.

The PretonSaver software works with all major printer brands and on inkjet, laser or photo printers—local, wireless or networked printers. The software operates in the background during the printing process, automatically “instructing” the printer to use printer less ink or toner, without compromising quality. PretonSaver has numerous industry and environmental awards and nominations.

“The software is not only very easy to use, it’s ‘green,’ which means it’s good for the environment,” says Pala. “Though it might mean our customers will buy less ink from us, we feel the long-term impact on the environment is important. I think our customers will appreciate that, too. They will certainly welcome the savings, which is why they shop with us in the first place. It’s our hope that other suppliers will recognize the need for greater environmental responsibility in our industry.”

In this White Paper, we will explore how the Network Operations Team at a given company would benefit from implementing an Output Management and advanced print spooler software solution like OM Plus from Plus Technologies.

Company – This whitepaper focuses on the issues faced by Network Operations Managers at multiple companies. For the purposes of this whitepaper, we have consolidated multiple companies’ network operations challenges in order to present a more comprehensive “picture” of the benefits that OM Plus advanced print spooler software delivers for the critical job function of Network Operations Manager.

Business Problems – All business processes create output of some kind. This output can be in the form of hard copy printed pages or electronic output such as email, web pages, electronic data transfers, or computer files. The output created by business applications (ERP’s Financial Applications, HR Applications, Payroll Applications, etc.), which include invoices, checks, financial reports, etc. is usually “delivered” to its end destination (most commonly a printer) over the company network. This output has a tremendous impact on the performance of the network, the security of the network, the usage of network resources (including network printers) and the support of the network (work group printers are typically supported by the Network Operations Team in most organizations).

Output Management and Print Spooler Software Problems Faced by Network Operations

Managing and supporting a large enterprise’s print infrastructure is a complex task. As the person often in charge of this critical business function, you know that it is a huge challenge to manage printers in different buildings, different plants, even different countries. You don’t know immediately when a printer is offline, jammed, out of toner or just swamped with too many print jobs. This lack of a single view of your enterprise print infrastructure leads to lost productivity at your company.

When a user sends a print job from the first floor, how do you know it printed on the sixth floor? What about print jobs that are created in Ohio and printed at the plant in Scotland? Do you know they printed? How long is it before your network help desk finds out about a printing problem? Printing delays or stoppages negatively impact profitability throughout the company.

Do your users choose printers that are not appropriate for the job they are printing because the printer is close by? Do they print large jobs on printers designed for departmental printing? Would you like to be able to balance the load amongst printers automatically or route around failed, empty or jammed printers? This lack of print management and control consumes too many company resources (both support people and supplies).

Is your WAN saturated with large print jobs, which impact the performance of your WAN? Large print jobs can saturate a lower speed WAN connection on their way to the printer and then sit in the printer’s buffer to be printed at the rated speed of the printer i.e. hurry up across the WAN (use up lots of bandwidth) and then wait at the printer to slowly print. Are you concerned with security of the print data as it is being transmitted over your WAN?

Do you know which printers are over utilized and which are under utilized? How much does it cost your company Help Desk to manage your company’s printers and print problems? Are all the statistics in one place? Managing an enterprise wide print environment is a Help Desk resource drain and OM Plus is a great tool to reduce that drain.

Technical Solution –The technical solution implemented at our customers with these business problems is OM Plus, the Advanced Print Spooler and Print Management software solution from Plus Technologies.

Why Network Operations Needs an Output Management and Print Spooler Software Solution like OM Plus

OM Plus print spooler/output management software provides remote status of your entire enterprise printing environment from a single screen. It allows you to easily re-print or re-route print jobs from wherever you happen to be.

OM Plus provides Assured Delivery of your printing worldwide. OM Plus can communicate directly with the printer to receive information that tells you paper actually hit the output tray. Problems appear immediately on the OM Plus status screen and resolution can take place right away, many times before the end user or the application is aware of the problem. OM Plus can even be set to page or email you when a mission critical problem occurs.

OM Plus provides advanced print automation. It can control not only who can print to what printers, but can stop a user from printing 1000 page jobs to a desktop printer. OM Plus can also “round robin” print jobs to groups of printers to more evenly utilize the printers. Additionally, OM Plus can be set up to automatically re-route a print job that is intended for a printer that has failed.

OM Plus can “throttle” print streams that travel over your WAN to remote locations, resulting in less bandwidth “hogging” yet still maintaining rated printer output speeds. OM Plus can encrypt print streams between sites to protect the data on the WAN and encrypt it all the way to the printer, with some printer types.

OM Plus provides remote statistics gathering and printer trouble isolation for companies around the world (Plus Technologies has thousands of installations). OM Plus allows the Help Desk to better manage print in the enterprise with a single view of all the company’s print. It allows printer grouping (independent of actual print servers) into manageable units and has allowed companies to reduce their print related trouble calls by as much as 50%. What would a reduction of 50% in print related calls to your Help Desk save your company?

Implementation – On site services including installation, system configuration, testing and user training was delivered by service engineers from Plus Technologies to all of these customers. In all cases, the implementation was completed and in production within two to three weeks of the order.

Plus Technologies White Papers – The Plus Technologies white paper series includes real examples of how companies use Advanced Print Spooler Solutions to streamline operations, reduce cost and/or add functionality to existing business processes.

FinePrint Software today announces the release of Server Editions (SE) of pdfFactory and pdfFactory Pro, the company’s PDF creation software tools, and FinePrint, its printing utility software famous for greatly reducing printing-related expenses. The Server Editions deliver a comprehensive server-based solution that makes deployment to and monitoring of a large number of users very easy.

Each Server Edition offers:

•    Centralized installation and updates – Companies can install SE on a Windows server, and any user can access the software by connecting to a shared printer.

•    Shared configuration – Common settings can be placed on the server for propagation to workstations. For example, PDF security parameters saved on the server will be copied to workstations upon installation.

•    License management – SE ensures license compliance and allows monitoring and control of license usage on a single server or a group of connected servers.

•    Configurable user interface – Product features can be removed from the user interface if desired.

“Since PDF creation is now just as common as printing, everyone needs a PDF creator; at the same time a lot of paper is wasted at printer stations throughout the workplace,” said Jonathan Weiner, president of FinePrint Software. “The new SE versions address these needs with comprehensive server-based solutions that make it easier than ever to deploy and manage our products to users throughout an enterprise.”

pdfFactory is an inexpensive, easy-to-use tool for creating PDF files, offering most of the features commonly used by both individual and business consumers at a fraction of the cost of Adobe Acrobat.

PDF documents can be easily combined using the pdfFactory preview system, unwanted pages can be deleted, and a built-in email function allows PDF files to be sent with a single click.

pdfFactory Pro is the advanced version of pdfFactory. It is designed for users who require security on sensitive documents. Further, pdfFactory Pro simplifies the process of working with large, complex documents by enabling users to create bookmarks.

FinePrint is a printing management utility for users of desktop PCs. FinePrint provides enhanced printing controls, enabling users to easily print multiple document pages onto a single sheet of paper, format print jobs to automatically produce booklet-style documents, delete unwanted pages from print jobs (especially useful when printing Web pages), embed letterheads, superimpose watermarks, and much more.

Licensing is priced on a per-user basis, and upgrade pricing is available. Cost-per-workstation for pdfFactory SE ranges from $ 23.00 to $ 60.00 while pdfFactory Pro SE ranges from $ 46.00 to $ 120.00. FinePrint SE ranges from $ 23.00 to $ 60.00.
