The document introduces the Cloudprinter API platform, which enables customers to submit print jobs through their API for local printing and shipping worldwide. It discusses how the printing industry has traditionally focused on physical production over IT and digital processes. The Cloudprinter API aims to connect this legacy industry to the online world by providing APIs for automated quotation, order submission, production updates, and local printing. This allows print buyers to integrate once with the Cloudprinter API for access to their global print network of over 150 partners.
