Most of this program is from Broderbund from many years ago. Possibly. One big difference-- past programs are not compatible with Vista. Was I looking for too much. I would have appreciated more than just a rehash of older programs. True of so many hyped software programs on the market.
It's an easy to use program. I've used PM for a while. It's not going to do fancy things like Paint Shop Pro but you can create something in PSP, save to your computer and use in PM. I don't mind not having all their graphics on my computer as I have my own that I use. The calendars are easier to create than in Calendar Creator. There's a great deal you CAN do in this program. Works great with Windows XP.
18 says my hard drive is full or write protected when I try to import a tab delimited file. Had several editions through the years. I have used Printmaster for over 20 years. I have over 60G of space and it is not write protected. My main disgust is importing address list. I maintain my address list in Excel. When I tried to contact customer service, they will only work with installation issues. I guess 18 is my new set of coasters and I will not buy another product from Broderbund or Encore.
(I was very carefully advised that the NEWEST version, PrintMaster 2.0, would NOT work - so I got exactly what I needed instead of just one more disapointment). When I got a new computer with Vista 64-bit on it, the program no longer worked, and I was DESOLATE at losing all my cards. My CreataCard program was wonderful and I had a folder full of saved files that were very dear to my heart. There are a lot of "available online" files in the PrintMaster 18 Art gallery, but with my high-speed Internet connection, that is no problem at all - and you only have to download a graphic once to have it available in the gallery offline. Thanks to some WONDERFUL tech support advice, I am now able not only to VIEW my saved cards but also EDIT them. as well as create new ones.with PrintMaster 18. This program is easy to use and has the features I need to make cards I'm proud of. Thank you, Broderbund.
This is my 3rd Printshop purchase and I wanted to upgrade. I purchased this to use at my office and unfortunately though my computer suits me just fine it must be antiquated as it does not have a DVD drive and this printmaster requires one. Guess I missed those specifications in the description.
