5.0 out of 5 stars The do anything Program, November 17, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: The Print Shop Essentials 12.0 (CD-ROM)

i have really enjoyed this program. There is countless projects
to accomplish with this. It makes anyone look like a professional. But honestly what I enjoy the most is the fun things you can do with it. I made my grand-daughter a I.D. card,
but I changed the heading to "President of the U.S.A."
I love the creative cards. You can put a smile on anyones face. Maybe even thier picture on it.
And when you must, you can create serious ones too. You can design your own, which ever you want. Whenever you want.

How is it possible that The Print Shop Ensemble III was a better program than this? This program MAY be useful if you plan on only making greeting cards. The selection of simple clip-art is nonexistant. Virtually every picture is a greeting card type scene. For some this may be fine, but even so, they are quite ugly.

I have had problems with this program crashing on an otherwise very stable system. I am using XP, and while I am unsure if XP is the problem, there is a label on the box which proudly states "XP Compatible". I doubt this is actually an issue, I think the program is just poorly done. In most intances I would do some problem solving, but with this software it would just be a waste of my time.

I hate to say this about a Print Shop product because Ensemble III had served my needs to make simple projects for many years. I make many of my own graphics, and importing was quick and easy. If I wanted to make fancy greeting cards I went with American Greetings Creata-Card or Print!.

I am completely unhappy with this product, and after I finish trying to warn others about this silly program I plan on seeing if I can somehow return this to Broderbund for a refund.
