Print to your users' printers from your app

Embed label printing in your own product. Call the PaperReady cloud API from your backend and a job is delivered to your user's paired Print Bridge and printed at true size — brand-agnostic, no drivers, no browser dialog. Usage-based at $0.01 per delivered print.

Questions

How does the API reach a local printer?
Your user runs the free Print Bridge, which pairs to their workspace and long-polls for jobs. Your API call queues a job; the Bridge pulls it and prints. Nothing is exposed to the internet.
What does it cost?
$0.01 per delivered print, no monthly minimum. Only delivered prints bill — a job to an offline printer that expires is free.
How is it different from PrintNode?
Same idea — a hosted API that prints to remote local printers — but PaperReady is brand-agnostic, prints at true size by default, renders your saved designs, and comes with an end-user app your customers may already run.
