We’re excited to introduce ImprintNext 8.3.0—our biggest update yet for print shops! This release brings smarter, faster, and more flexible tools that make product customization effortless and impress your customers every time.

From dynamic decoration areas and 3D product visualization to multi-language artwork approval and enhanced font and color management, this version is designed to streamline your workflow, reduce errors, and boost sales.

Let’s dive into what’s new, why it matters, and how it can help your print business reach the next level.

Bring Products to Life with 3D

ImprintNext now supports 3D models in GLB and GLTF formats, enabling realistic 3D visualization of your products.

Customers can view designs from every angle, enhancing the customization experience and helping print shops reduce design errors, boost confidence in orders, and improve overall customer satisfaction.

No More One-Size-Fits-All: Dynamic Decoration Areas:

With the new decoration area setup, print shops can now define print/design areas based on each product’s attributes—like size, shape, or orientation. This means you no longer need a one-size-fits-all setup.

For example, a small t-shirt and an XL t-shirt can automatically have different print areas, or a mug with a handle can have a different design zone than one without. This makes the customization process more accurate, reduces errors, and ensures customers see exactly what’s possible before they order

Smarter Fonts, Smarter Designs:

The fonts section just got more powerful. Now, text styling like bold, italic, and bold-italic is fully supported, giving customers more creative control over their designs.

As an admin, you can easily upload and manage multiple font variants by simply adding them in a compressed zip file. Plus, the text module now supports OTF and WOFF formats, making your font library more flexible and compatible than ever. This means smoother design experiences for your customers and fewer limitations for your print shop.

Crystal-Clear Images Across All Browsers:

No more blurry previews! With this update, product images now appear in high resolution on Safari and Firefox, even on large-screen devices. This means your customers will always see sharp, detailed visuals of their customized products, no matter which browser they use.

For print shops, this not only boosts customer confidence in their designs but also reduces order errors and increases conversions—because what customers see on screen is exactly what they’ll get in print.

Smarter, Smoother Template Editing:

Editing templates is now faster and more intuitive with our enhanced UI/UX. The interface is designed to be interactive and user-friendly, making it easier for customers to customize products with confidence.

For print shops, this means fewer errors, quicker design approvals, and a more professional experience that keeps customers coming back.

Wider View for Horizontal Products:

Horizontal products like wristbands, lanyards, and banners now appear in a wider designer view, giving customers a true-to-life perspective of their designs.

By adjusting the layout to match the product’s dimensions, your customers can place designs more accurately and see exactly how it will look in real life.

This improves design precision, reduces mistakes, and enhances the overall printing experience for your business.

Guide Your Customers with Ease:

The new optional menu lets you provide your customers with helpful information exactly when they need it. You can either display custom text or guidelines directly in the menu, or link them to an external help page for more detailed instructions.

This makes the design process smoother, reduces confusion, and improves the overall customer experience—helping your print business save time and increase satisfaction.

Global Artwork Approval Made Easy:

The Artwork Approval feature now supports multiple languages, making it easier for customers and teams across different regions to review and approve designs.

This ensures a smoother, more accurate approval process, reduces misunderstandings, and helps print shops deliver a professional, consistent experience worldwide.

Full RTL & Arabic Support:

ImprintNext now fully supports Right-to-Left (RTL) languages in the designer, allowing labels, notifications, and instructions to display correctly for languages like Arabic.

Additionally, all key documents—quotations, invoices, order slips, package slips, work orders, and purchase orders—can now be generated in Arabic, making it easier for print shops to serve customers in diverse markets.

This ensures a smoother workflow, professional communication, and an enhanced customer experience across languages.

Easily Organize Cliparts:

Now, you can assign multiple categories to several cliparts at once, saving time and keeping your design assets organized.

This makes it easier for customers to find the right clipart quickly, speeds up the design process, and helps print shops manage large libraries of design elements efficiently—boosting productivity and enhancing the overall user experience.

Flexible Timezone Settings:

ImprintNext now lets you set a custom timezone without affecting your server’s system time. This means all times—orders, invoices, and notifications—will display correctly according to your preferred timezone.

It ensures accurate scheduling, better workflow management, and a smoother experience for your print shop team and customers alike.

Ready for the Latest PHP:

ImprintNext is now fully compatible with PHP version 8.4.2, ensuring your platform runs smoothly on the latest server environments.

This update provides improved performance, security, and stability, helping print shops maintain a reliable and efficient online design workflow without technical interruptions.

Fast & Secure Order Access:

With our updated API services, you can now securely fetch order details directly for production and processing.

This ensures your print shop has accurate, real-time information at your fingertips, reducing errors, speeding up workflows, and improving overall efficiency in managing customer orders.

Smarter Color Management for Configurator Products:

The configurator now includes a dedicated section to manage available colors for products like jerseys.

Admins can easily set default colors for each part of a product, giving customers a smoother and more intuitive customization experience.

This not only improves accuracy in design previews but also helps print shops reduce errors and streamline production for multi-color products.

Ready for Prestashop 9:

ImprintNext is now fully compatible with Prestashop version 9, ensuring seamless integration with the latest eCommerce platform updates.

This allows print shops to leverage new Prestashop features while maintaining a smooth, reliable, and efficient product customization workflow.

Faster Shopify Customer Management:

For Shopify users, customer and customer group sections now benefit from GraphQL compatibility, delivering improved performance and faster data handling.

This upgrade helps print shops manage customers more efficiently, reduces load times, and ensures a smoother experience when handling large customer databases.
