New website

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

Why a new website?

For more than a year, we worked on a site that fits how we work: personal, transparent and without unnecessary data storage. These are the main benefits:

No cookies or tracking

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

Price calculator with 3D viewer

Upload your model, view it in 3D and immediately see a price estimate. Everything is processed locally and securely.

Customer account

Track orders, manage files, view invoices and keep in touch with us in one place.

Privacy by design

We only store what is needed for your order. No external CRM, no external data center for customer data.

Smarter pricing algorithm

Our new algorithm can sometimes result in a lower price than on the old site. This is particularly useful for smaller orders.

Built entirely in-house

No standard CMS: everything was developed by us, with many useful features and plenty of room for feedback.

Five phases of the transition

We are moving step by step. Below you can read what changes in each phase. Phase 3 is where we are now.

Phase 1

Closed beta at beta.printics.nl

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

You could already test features here, such as a user account. Security was already fully in place, but at that stage there was no guarantee that data would be retained.

Phase 2

Public beta, for real orders

You could actually place orders. These were likely final and were taken into production.

If our system still made genuinely unreasonable errors, for example an unfeasible price or print, we refused those orders.

Our new algorithm could sometimes result in a lower price; in that case the new website was more convenient. We welcomed feedback about your experience.

Phase 3 Current phase

New site becomes printics.nl

beta.printics.nl is now simply printics.nl. The old website remains available at legacy.printics.nl.

There you can still view old data and, if needed, download files. If we encounter major issues, we may temporarily return to phase 2.

Phase 4

Old site for viewing only

If there are no further issues, the old website will remain available only for viewing. Ordering will no longer be possible there. Everything will go through the new website.

Although we do not send marketing emails, we will send one email or letter to all customers informing them that we will delete customer data after several months, including 3D models from one-off projects.

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

Phase 5

Permanent deletion (end of 2026)

At the end of 2026, all customer data in the old environment will be permanently deleted.

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