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.

Shameful

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

Never seen this product and I am disappointed by the negative reviews

On a PC I used Print Artist Platinum and then Print Master Platinum. My expectation when I bought my Mac was that I would find an even better program if not comparable. I love my past graphics programs and have spent countless hours creating, I am embarrassed thatI have purchased and I Mac and a Macbook Pro and I have to return home to my PC to get any graphic work done because there is no comparable program for Mac - "The Graphics Masters". I am almost certain that saw a Print Master for Mac last year but have not been able to track it down. Just a dream?

Disappointing clip art

I love the Print Shop, but for mac there are not nearly enough graphics. It is a much more condensed version than for pc's with windows.

Waste of money

I reconnected with my mac roots after many years on the PC Dark side and wanted to replace my PrintMaster software with something Mac compatible. I just need a quick and easy Graphics and Publishing package for school flyers and kids cards.

This is not that software.

The clip art is terrible and the app has half the features of PrintMaster. After much research there is no Mac compatible product. May be booting up the PC just for PrintMaster. : (

Waste of $70

Written by KL from Manteca

I purchased this product to produce a multi-page yearly calendar. One I've produced with the less expensive Print Master on my Windows machine, to my disappointment I CANNOT! It seems you have to save 12 separate months to make up a year. If you add a month to a calendar project the pics from previous months come along. Poor Design!!
SAVE YOUR MONEY!!!

Look Elsewhere for Clip Art

Written by SH from Roseville

Dec 22, 2008

Wow! I'm really disappointed and unhappy with this program. I bought this program because I needed clip art and was tired of searching around on the Internet for pictures--but this program is terrible for clip art. The photographs are all VERY dated and look like they were taken in 1990--I'm talking big overly teased hair, high wasted tapered jeans with baggy sweaters and ridiculously large glasses. For a $70 dollar purchase, the quality of the photos are completely UNACCEPTABLE! Go buy MS Office with Publisher--at least you'd get thousands of great clip art and photographs from their website.

Easy to use and fun for everyone.

This fantastic software is a fun, creative way to make post cards, posters, banners, etc. and it's very easy to use. Though I wish I was a master at Adobe software, this quenches my thirst for what little creating I do... such as digital posters for my band's myspace for an upcoming gig. Great software for the money; highly recommended.

Should be called photo shop

Written by LS from Muskogee

Can't do a "change all" on text boxes. If you have 50 text boxes on a page that have the same text, you have to change the 50 one at a time. Can't create a user defined label, can only select from a limited few label styles. No 1 x 1.5 or 1 x 1 labels.

Excellent for most things!

Written by CD from Scituate

This product is great! I use it to make certificates for my daughters team mates. I have never had any kind of technical trouble, even when i went up to Leopard. I'm running a macbook with 2GB memory and 120GB hard drive. I would reccomend this to anyone creative. The only thing is that I'm not found of how the calendar function works, because it is very hard to make multiple months look the same! Other than that it's great!

Disappointed by graphics

I have PrintMaster for my old windows computer and the selection of graphics was way better. Since both are from Broderbund, I was hoping to find the same quantity and quality,but I am sadly disappointed.

DOES work with leopard!

Written by AK from Los Gatos

Dec 28, 2007

I wrote a 1 star review that this doesn't work with leopard, but it DOES. sorry. The installer won't work if you have a small application called 'magical' running, so kill ALL applications before installing (even itty bitty ones in your menu bar). the leopard upgrade from mackiev's website installed flawlessly too.

Got this for my mother-in-law, she loves it, makes much better things that she did with print shop pro on her pc. Great stuff!

The Best

Written by TH from Cupertino

Oct 21, 2007

This product is hands down the best product of it's kind in the world. Others try - PS2 Does. No matter what you need, Disc Lables, Invitations, Ad Art, etc., etc. there are plenty of graphics, artwork and designs provided to get you something great in minutes and the graphic and the easy to use test and graphic tools rival that of high end graphic design products. If you are reading this, stop here and just buy it...!!! (PS - even has a template to print Epson "Direct on Disc" and hits the mark every time.)
