Label Traxx Integrates with HP PrintOS Job Costing Tool
Label Traxx, the management information software (MIS) solution provider for the label converting industry, announced it has completed integration with HP PrintOS Print Beat Jobs API. As a result, Label Traxx job costing analysis can capture information from HP Indigo presses to include in costing.
With this collaboration, HP Indigo digital press users can connect Label Traxx to HPs PrintOS to access information captured by the HP Indigo press, including production time, ink and media usage captured by the HP Indigo press. The data fed from PrintOS Print Beat Jobs API is thereby included in the Label Traxx cost analysis to reach accurate job costing.
Label Traxx is the first MIS supplier in the label industry to have this integration with the cloud-based PrintOS.
