The Creative Print app now includes “enhancements” such as Instagram links and “increased personalisation capabilities”.
In a press release, the OEM revealed that the Creative Print app’s latest version also features access to the iCloud service, with other “significant enhancements” including “expanded customisation capabilities for Instagram photos” and a “direct link” to the social network on its home screen. Version 4.1 of the app also expands customisation such as placing “text within a collage”, customising “fonts and collage backgrounds”.
Other new features include “seamless wireless printing”, with the aim to bring “digital artwork to life” through “high-quality printed collages, personalised colouring pages, greeting cards, calendars and more”. As part of the Epson Connect suite of “robust” mobile apps, the updated app’s iCloud accessibility means user can access “photos stored on multiple computers, tablets and phones”, and also supports “patterned printing”, which it calls “a useful feature for DIY gift wrapping”.
The app can also connect to Facebook for photo printing, create “custom greeting cards and stationery”, and print photos “directly on [to] CDs/DVDs”, while ink and paper can be bought “directly through the mobile app for added convenience”, and the Creative Print app is free to download on both the Google Play and Apple App Store marketplaces.
Jack Rieger, Senior Product Manager of Software at Epson America, commented: “More than 80 million photos are uploaded to Instagram each day; the app has become such an integral part of our lives, and Epson has simplified the process of turning these digital collages and images into physical photos that can be displayed for decades. The new Creative Print updates make it easy to create professional looking masterpieces with your Instagram photos—with just a few clicks on your mobile device.”
