New website

In the second half of 2026 we moved to a completely new website. printics.nl is now our site; the old one stays available at legacy.printics.nl for viewing and downloads.

Orders you place yourself on this website still get 10% off.

Why a new website?

We spent more than a year on a site that fits how we work: personal, transparent, and without storing data we do not need. These are the main points:

No cookies or tracking

No cookie popup: we do not track you and we do not sell data.

Price calculator with a 3D viewer

Upload your model, view it in 3D and see a price indication straight away. Everything is processed locally and securely.

Customer account

Follow orders, manage files, view invoices and talk to us in one place.

Privacy by design

We only store what an order needs. No external CRM, no data centre for customer data.

A smarter pricing algorithm

Our new algorithm can sometimes come out lower than on the old site. That helps with smaller orders.

Built by us

Not a standard CMS: we built it ourselves, with practical features and room for feedback.

Five stages of the move

We do this step by step. Below, each stage says what changes. Stage 4 is where we are now.

Stage 1

Closed beta on beta.printics.nl

beta.printics.nl was a beta of our new website. You could place test orders; no real payment was processed yet.

You could already try features, such as an account. Security was already in place, but there was no guarantee that data would be kept in that stage.

Stage 2

Public beta, for real orders

You could place real orders. Those were likely final and we put them into production.

If the system still made a clearly unreasonable mistake, such as an impossible price or print, we refused those orders.

Our new algorithm could sometimes come out lower; then the new website was the better option. We were glad to hear feedback on how it went.

Stage 3

The new site becomes printics.nl

beta.printics.nl became printics.nl. The old website stayed available at legacy.printics.nl.

There you could still view old data, download files and order for a while. If we hit a serious fault, we might temporarily go back to stage 2.

Stage 4 Current stage

Old site for viewing only

The old website is now only there for viewing. You can no longer order there. Everything goes through the new website.

In this stage, orders you place yourself on printics.nl still get 10% off.

We do not send marketing email, but we will once write or email every customer that we will delete customer data in a few months, including 3D models from one-off projects.

There will be no migration of old customer data to the new website. We are deliberately starting clean.

Stage 5

Final deletion (end of 2026)

At the end of 2026 all customer data on the old system will be permanently deleted.

After that, invoices from 2018 to 2026 can only be requested by email.
