What's new

Shipped features, most recent first. Everything here is live for all workspaces.

August 2026

Brand refresh

  • New mark — a barcode label, mid-print: the bar is the print head, the label tips 8° as it leaves it. It replaces the old spool glyph everywhere, favicon included.
  • Calmer chrome — one blue, Ink surfaces, derived greys. Signal orange now does exactly one job: a printer is running or something needs a person. No green, no amber.
  • Operator-first details — bigger press targets on queue actions, quantities in mono so columns scan, and roles renamed in plain language (Operators run the queue).

Sites: per-location queues, printers & licensing

  • Sites — define your locations once; head office designs for everyone, each site runs its own print queue. A user pinned to Whakatane sees only Whakatane's jobs and printers; Auckland sees Auckland's.
  • Per-site printers — printers belong to a site (or stay company-wide). Site managers' printers land at their own site automatically.
  • API routing — an optional site field on Print API jobs delivers them straight to the right location's queue.
  • Printer licensing — printer counts are licensed per site, or per company when sites aren't used, with clear "licensed for N printers" messaging when the cap is reached.
August 2026

Spreadsheet printing & sequence tags

  • Print straight from your product master — upload an Excel or CSV file in the queue, filter and tick the rows you want, and each becomes a job with its tags pre-filled from matching column headers. A qty column sets per-row copies.
  • Sequence tags — write a tag as {palletNo+} in the designer and every copy steps the number: PFP000001 printed 10 times comes out as PFP000001 through PFP000010, zero-padding preserved. Works on Zebra and Honeywell, from the queue, the API and spreadsheet rows alike.

Print Queue polish: previews, cancel & restore, built-in docs

  • Images print without printer setup — logos and graphics are now embedded in the print job itself (Zebra and Honeywell alike), so nothing has to be manually loaded onto the printer. Honeywell embedding needs Print Bridge v1.2+.
  • Label preview in the queue — every job shows the exact label as it will print, with the job's real data substituted in, rendered by the same engine as the designer. It updates live as you pick a format.
  • Cancel & restore — cancel a pending job (with confirmation) to move it to history; restore it to the queue later. Both fully audited.
  • Download Print Bridge button right on the queue, with per-platform builds and setup notes.
  • API example & docs popup next to your Print API key — a copy-pasteable request and a field-by-field explanation of how tags work.
August 2026

The Print Queue, the Print API, and roles

  • Print Queue — jobs from your systems (or queued by hand) wait in a pending list until someone at the printer releases them. Reprints require a reason; every event is audited with user, time, printer and copies.
  • Print API key — owners generate a key on the Team page; one JSON POST queues a job, and every field in the payload becomes a {tag} that fills the design. Idempotent, with status and cancel endpoints.
  • Supplier keys — feed jobs from one system (SAP, WMS, any ERP) to many supplier companies: supplier codes route jobs, label codes map to version-pinned approved designs, and each supplier prints on their own printers.
  • Queue a job manually or from CSV — pick a design, fill its tags (or upload a spreadsheet for one job per row), choose copies and printer.
  • Zebra ZPL support — the same designs now print to Zebra printers; each saved printer declares its language.
  • Team roles — Owner / Admin / Manager / User, matching who designs, who sets up printers, and who just prints. Plus a per-user "can queue jobs" permission.
  • Printers page — Managers maintain the company's printers (name, IP, port, language, default) without needing designer access.
August 2026

Batch printing, partner self-service, designer fixes

  • CSV batch printing from the designer's print dialog — your {tags} become column names; a Qty column sets per-row copies.
  • Partner self-service — partners upload their own logo from their portal, and partner admins can be invited by email before they have an account.
  • Image handling upgraded — uploads keep their natural size, and images can be resized on the canvas by corner handle or exact millimetres, re-sampled from the original for full quality.
  • Friendlier connection recovery — a clear reconnecting overlay that retries automatically and tells you honestly when a reload is needed.
  • Sharper selection — selecting text now highlights exactly the rendered text, whatever the font or size.
August 2026

Foundation release

  • The visual designer — canvas editing with real barcode rendering, snap and alignment, undo/redo, version history, folders and a shared company library.
  • Direct printing to Honeywell Fingerprint printers through the Print Bridge, with saved printers per team.
  • Fingerprint import/export — bring existing label code in, keep editing visually, export back out.
  • Multi-company workspaces with email invitations, and white-label domains for partners.
