I have been a loyal Printmaster user for years. I have upgraded many times because of the ease of use and the variety of design elements available. I recently got a Mac so I purchased the new 2.0 version to use with my new Mac computer. WOW, AM I DISAPPOINTED. The product STINKS!!! Everything that I loved about the older versions is gone. First of all, you have to install all of the art onto your computer. This is a 23G program! But still, the templates are limited, the clip art is awful and I can't seem to layer them onto my own designs without the white background showing around the clip art, so if I have a colored background in my design, I can't get the clip art on my project without the white around it. I imagine it can be done because the white is not in the ready-made templates, but I can't seem to edit it out. If anyone knows how, please let me know. I can't copy and paste outside clip art into it either. It just puts a box with the name of the item and there is no way to activate the contents. As I said, I have been using PrintMaster products for a long time and I can usually figure out most software programs without a problem, but this version has me so frustrated that I will probably uninstall it from my computer. It is not worth the enormous amount of space it takes up. Sadly, I probably can't return the opened item so I am just going to have to eat the $39.99 I paid for this inferior version of a once-loved product. I will try to contact the company to see is there is a satisfaction guarantee, but I'm not hopeful. I would NOT recommend this version of PrintMaster.
UPDATE: Thank you Amazon for your great return policy. You sent a return shipment label and bar code immediatly when I asked to return for a refund on this Horrible Product. Initial shipping was free, so for less than $5 for return shipping, it is well worth it to be rid of PrintMaster 2.0. AMAZON IS THE BEST!

I have used Printmaster products for years. I have always been really happy with their products and have upgraded everytime they have come out with a new version. STAY AWAY FROM THIS VERSION. It is SLOW SLOW SLOW! If you want to search the clipart, it can take you 5 - 7 minutes to go through a search. Also, the thumbnails are so small, you can barely see the picture (in previous versions you could change the thumbnail size... I couldn't figure out how to do that in the new version) So, save your money and don't buy this product. You would be better off buying Printmaster 18 Platinum, which is a great product. I'm so disappointed, I will be asking Amazon for a refund. (Also, in case you are wondering, I have a brand new, high powered PC, so my computer is not the problem)

I have been a big fan of PrintMaster for years. Their templates were straight-forward, easy to use, and personalize. But this product is very unintuitive. The biggest disappointment is the fact you can't print cards and other projects at home. What were they thinking?? The whole idea of such programs for the computer is to do-it-yourself. If I want professionally done cards, I will go to the store and buy one. The convenience of print-at-home is immediate gratification and usability. This is a huge disappointment. I asked for a refund from Amazon. Thank goodness for their understanding return policy.
