As quoted on the outside of the box. After installing it and using it I couldn't agree more - It is everything a terrific Mac application should be let alone the nicest 'poor man's' desktop publishing program I've used on any platform. It really shines with not only the quality of the programming (all 100% Cocoa goodness) of the software but also the stunning results on output. Any small businesses or individuals looking for a great way to do pre-press work to PDF for signs, menus, etc., this is what you are looking for.

Thank you MacKiev for making such a terriffic product.

My church uses Print Shop for everything and haven't found the old windows version very appealing but have been looking for something like it only better. Is there a demo anywhere?

Interesting post. I've been going back and forth between getting the new Print Shop (the Windows version keeps getting more and more complicated, but I'm not sure it's any better!) and Nova's Greeting Card Factory (I think that's the name.) I have Print Explosion -- the greeting card one is based on that -- but I have the Classic version. It does a very nice job too. I'm tired of having to go into Classic, though, so I definitely want to go up to a X version.

I thought the Commodore 64 version was best.

If you have Print Shop ideas for MacKiev, you should e-mail them, I emailed them asking for templates to make iDVD cases and they said it was a good idea and will be included in the first update!

Well, I certainly hope that the Mac version is better than the latest Windows version. My Wife has been trying to format and print some simple labels for her hobby and the results have been a pixelated mess. Despite numerous ways to export and compress (or leave uncompressed) the image, the results have been completely unacceptable.

You'll be happy to know that the clip art (at least on the Windows version) seems to be the same quality as those included in the Apple II version
