A note for IT professionals and print solution providers from Y Soft ' s CMO:

I’ m pleased to introduce the first edition of The State of Printing.

We created this report for one clear reason: real platform data helps customers and partners make better decisions. Drawing on anonymized insights from more than 91,000 devices connected to SAFEQ Cloud, this report reflects what we’ re seeing in real-world print environments today.

It also reflects progress we’ re genuinely proud of. Over the past two years, Y Soft has significantly modernized the print stack— strengthening security, meeting demanding compliance requirements, and delivering a more robust, reliable platform at scale. These aren’ t aspirations; they’ re proven outcomes across thousands of customer environments.

As cloud-based print projects become the default, accurate benchmarks and practical insight matter more than ever. The State of Printing is designed to help IT leaders assess their environment with confidence and help partners guide meaningful, data-backed conversations.

We care deeply about this space and have invested accordingly. This report is one way we’ re sharing what we’ ve learned— and what’ s working.

I hope you find The State of Printing a valuable guide to the current print landscape.

Chief Marketing Officer Y Soft
