The free iPhone App connect to internet-connected Apogee servers, enabling users to visualise a JDF submitted job list and track the equipment status.

Marketing manager Erik Peeters says it can deliver a quick check of a specific job during production: “A convenient status overview of the prepress equipment, including proofers, CTP systems and other output devices, can also be displayed,” he says.

Status of jobs is determined by a colour code: Green means a job is complete; blue means it is waiting (perhaps for a file to be uploaded); and red means that an error occurred and needs attention.
