3.0 out of 5 stars Warning, December 7, 2009

This isn't an actual review for the product, but rather a warning to anyone reading the rest of the reviews - you may not have realized it, but the vast majority of the Amazon reviews so far for Print Artist Platinum 23 are generic reviews solicited by the developer, Nova Development. If you came here expecting honest, unbiased reviews of PA Platinum 23, you won't find any right now - instead you'll see about 10 reviews with this disclaimer:

"*This review was posted by a member of the Nova Development User Community (NDUC). NDUC members are real people who use Nova Development products and share relevant feedback about the products they use in order to help other users...."

Which is really a roundabout way of them admitting they are rigging the review score.

I'll probably end up buying this product anyway because there are very limited options these days in the category - the golden age of respectable greeting card applications ended about 7 years ago - and when I do I will come back and post an honest review.

I'm not saying don't buy the software, I just want everyone to realize that there is more to these reviews than just 10 generically pleased buyers.

Caveat Emptor!

I have owned and used many Print Artist Programs by Sierra for doing my graphic art work and I have always been completely satisfied with their products... UP TO THE TIME I bought this NOVA Print Artist Platinum, it is outright cheap in comparison to the old Sierra Print Artist! It does not have the ease of operation of Sierra's Print Artist and does not have as many usable graphics, plus it has a nonworking search engine for graphics. I give it an F grade in comparison to the Sierra Print Artist that I own--buyer beware! Sierra where are you?! I miss your User Guide...Nova does not care to give their customers any guidance information with this product...not even on how to install properly. I wish, Sierra, you had been more selective as to whom you sold out to.

1.0 out of 5 stars What a piece of junk!, January 10, 2010

I just bought this version of Print Artist to replace my old version of The Print Shop. I upgraded to Windows 7 and TPS won't run on it. I am disturbed to say the least. The interface looks like it was designed for children. The only thing this product offers that is worth anything are the predesigned templates. The text effects useless. The graphics are way to cartoon like to use. The "extra bonus" disks are not integrated into the program. The search function is so limited as to useless, but you can't search the bonus disks at all! I am returning this program tomorrow and buy the latest version of TPS! Nova should be ashamed of themselves for even selling this!
