Celstream simplifies mobile photo printing with the introduction of iPrintApp™
Application enables users to directly print photos captured on their Apple® iPhone™ or iPod™ devices to any printer via a wireless network

BANGALORE, INDIA, April 28, 2009Celstream Technologies Ltd., a leading global Product Engineering Services company, today announced the introduction of iPrintApp™, a revolutionary mobile printing application that simplifies the process of printing photos captured on an Apple® iPhone™ or iPod™ Touch device. iPrintApp eliminates the server application required by current iPhone printing applications enabling users to print photos on-the-fly to any printer located on a WiFi network.

“With our iPrintApp, users can print photographs stored on their iPhone or iPod Touch devices directly to a printer via WiFi, without going through the cumbersome process of transferring images to a computer prior to printing,” said Ranga Raj, Chief Technology Officer, Celstream. “This feature, along with a host of other benefits, makes iPrintApp the most efficient printing solution currently available in the marketplace.”

Celstream’s iPrintApp also eliminates the need for cabling, USB and Bluetooth drivers, as well as the complexities, incompatibility and non-availability associated with these devices. With a few simple clicks, users can select and print photos from the iPhone or iPod Touch photo gallery, including photos taken directly from the device's camera or transferred from a Mac or PC-compatible operating system. Photos are printed directly to any networked printer supporting PostScript™, or USB printers that use Mac SharedQueues, located within their current WiFi network. iPrintApp leverages Apple’s Bonjour technology to automatically detect any compatible printers within the WiFi network.

Some of the key features and benefits offered by Celstream’s iPrintApp include:

  • Ability to print multiple photos on a single sheet.
  • Ability for the user to select up to 12 images per print job.
  • Automatic layout management that rotates images while keeping the image aspect ratio intact for best fit.
  • Print preview function that enables the user to delete or reselect images while using the resize option to zoom or shrink images as desired.
  • Ability for the user to accept an incoming call while using the application. The state of the application is saved so that the user can continue using the application once the call is complete. The same feature is applicable if the "home" button is pressed prior to printing.

“Mobile photo printing is expected to grow at a rapid pace with users having the freedom and flexibility to wirelessly print photos captured and/or stored on their iPhone and iPod devices,” continued Raj. “Printer manufacturers and Print Service Providers can leverage this trend to increase print sales volumes and attract this new set of customers.” Celstream’s iPrintApp is compatible with Apple’s OS X platform.

Availability
Celstream’s iPrintApp™ is available now for download from the Apple App Store for $1.99.
