The Print Shop 2
A fantastic value for the money...
Written by RD from Grande Prairie
Jan 17, 2006
Version 1 of the Print Shop was excellent and version 2 is awesome. It comes with an extra disc of graphics, more project choices and, I'm happy to find, a floating layout palette with alignment and layer tools. The people at Mackiev have their hearts in this program and I have the feeling it will only get better. …More

The Print Shop 2
Easy to use, with Insanely GREAT results!
Written by MD from Grandville
Feb 8, 2006
The Print Shop version 2 is an excellent program. If you like the ease of use of Apple's iPhoto, iTunes, iCal... then you're sure to like this application as well. Even though the Print Shop is not an Apple-written program, it is a very well written program... very intuitive to use, and very well integrated with the other "i" apps that are a part of Apple's iLife suite. PLUS, the Print Shop is now a "Universal" program (will run natively on both PowerPC and the newest Intel-based Macs (free universal update to version 2.0.2). This is a GREAT program for a new or legacy Mac user! I would buy it for my own mother =') …More

Love it
Written by JK from ELEPHANT BUTTE
Feb 2, 2006
Love this easy to use program. I needed new business cards in a hurry and was able to whip them out in a few minutes. Nice graphics with lots of choices helped too. The ability to save the artwork/graphics to my HD rather than have to find and use the CD every time is also another great feature. I use this inexpensive program alot for various projects- signs, cards etc and really like the features of this program. …More

Excellent, except in one area

Would love to see the colors in the clip art be more vibrant--also, would like to see more fine art.
I had Microsoft Publishing on my previous computer, and the colors and clip art on The Print Shop 2 does not compare. …More13 of 14 people found this useful

The program got worse with the Snow Leopard Upgrade
Written by JB from San Juan
Sep 9, 2009
The Print Shop for Mac was never a competitor for its Windows counterpart. But if you upgrade to Snow Leopard you better have a lot of patience. With the new OS the program becomes very slow, taking up to three minutes to load a project, even if you download the update they now have. I have had to go back to my old PC for my PS projects. …More

A total waste of $70 bucks! Pathetic clip art and absolutely horrible non intuitive interface. All I wanted and expected was a simple easy application to do quick cards, signs or maybe some calendars but ended frustrated and completely disappointed. Don't waste your money …More
