Pryynt Gets $2M To Stick A Print-On-Demand Service Inside Photo Apps

There’s no shortage of third-party services offering to print out your best digital footprints — whether it’s turning your Instagrams into temporary tattoos or your Facebook missives into memory books. So far so standard.
But London-based startup Pryynt is hoping to wrong foot these rivals by getting app developers to integrate an SDK that puts a print button directly into their apps, and an on-demand print service at the fingertips of their users.
Today it’s announcing a $2 million seed round (from undisclosed investors) for its SDK for a whitelabel print on-demand service.
“Pryynt’s seed round has been raised from a small group of angel investors including an experienced ex-private equity individual who has investments in the printing and tech industries,” says CEO and founder James Washer. Washer himself has also contributed to the round.
Using the Pryynt service, digital snaps can be ordered as postcards, greetings cards, posters or canvas prints — all without the user having to use another app. The incentive for app developers to integrate Pryynt is a revenue share (of 30 per cent or more) of anything generated from spin-off photo fodder that users end up buying.
Pryynt’s service handles everything involved in turning an in-app button tap into a physical product shipped out to customers — from order fulfilment to customer support, system updates and payments. Printing is carried out by a global network of HP-accredited print partners with which Pryynt is partnering for the service.
So far it says it has more than 40 apps signed up ahead of a full launch next month. Camera MX on Android, Insta Shape Pro and Best Postcard Maker on iOS are already live; while PhotoGrid, Retrica and others are due to go live in the following weeks.

14 year old girl sentenced to 40 years for drowning baby

14 year old girl sentenced to 40 years for drowning baby A 14-year-old Dallas girl who drowned a 2 month old baby out of jealousy was sentenced by a juvenile court judge on Friday to 40 years in custody, the maximum punishment available, after admitting to drowning the infant in January, court officials said. The teenager will begin serving her sentence in state custody of the Texas Juvenile Justice Department. A judge will determine whether she is eligible for parole before her 19th birthday or should be transferred to an adult prison. In a juvenile lockup, the girl will have more options than if she had been tried as adult. She will go to school and get counseling. The baby belonged to a family friend who was in jail. Child Protective Services had placed the infant in the home of the teenage girl's mother at the request of the baby's mother, according to police. Investigators said the girl confessed to submerging 2-month-old Justice Hull in a bo...

Google Introduces Two New Sub-$250 Chromebooks In India Mobile is the big tech focus for India — with initiatives like Facebook’s Internet.org and Google’s Android One , to name but two — but that isn’t stopping Google from introducing new budget Chromebook laptops in the South Asian country. The Mountain View-based firm announced two sub-$250 Chromebooks, laptops powered by its web-based Chrome OS platform, from domestic manufacturers Nexian and Xolo. The Nexian Chromebook retails for 13,499 INR ($212) from Amazon — it’s currently on sale for 12,999 INR — while Xolo’s device is available from Snapdeal for 13,999 INR, around $220.

That’s not quite all… Google said also that machine’s from ASUS, Samsung and other Indian companies will hit the market soon to provide even greater choice. ...

LaunchKit Now Helps Developers Keep Track Of Their App Store Sales

LaunchKit Now Helps Developers Keep Track Of Their App Store Sales LaunchKit , which aims to give developers a tool set that makes  launching new apps easier , announced  its newest service this week. The free LaunchKit App Store Sales Reporter helps developers track the sales they generate from Apple’s App Store (just like its name implies). Instead of building a complex dashboard that developers can then obsess about every day, the team decided to use Slack and/or a daily email to keep users up to date on their sales. “The LaunchKit team built Sales Reporter because we wanted a simple way to get iTunes Connect sales data into the place our team communicated all the time: Slack,” LaunchKit founder Brenden Mulligan tells me “After a simple setup, the free tool starts posting sales data into Slack daily.” The service mostly focuses on the ba...
