    5.0 out of 5 stars Happy with Mac Print Shop 2

    Okay, everyone who LOVED Broderbund's Print Shop for PC, you will like this version designed for the Mac. I have the Mac Pro Book, updated to the Sierra version. I had absolutely no trouble downloading it from the DVD that I ordered from Amazon. The loading was smooth as glass, and it prompted me to update the program as soon as I registered it. So, I went from the Mac Print Shop 2 to the Mac Print Shop 3 in one easy step. I have only done a few things on it as I've only had it for less than a week, but I wish I had ordered it long ago. I don't know why the negative reports. Of course it doesn't have all of the clip art that came with original version in the early 90's (when we had about six DVD's in the package), but it is adequate. I have not tried to insert a picture from iphoto yet, but from what I read, although it wouldn't do that in previous versions, it will do that now. Also, I tried to change the color of one of the frames, and up popped a message saying I needed to install Twain. Hmmm, maybe I do, but if I do that, instructions indicate that Twain must be installed first and then I'll have to reinstall Print Shop. So, I haven't done that yet....and I might not. I do know that there is a "Twain" installed in my Mac for use of the printer. Wondering if I need two "Twains." I'll try to update this review as I work with the program. I just LOVE Print Shop. I think it is easy and fits the bill for most occasions. Buy it; I don't think you will be disappointed!

    I use Print Shop primarily for making cards, posters, projects, etc. I use it for birthday cards, babyshower cards, thank you cards, informational posters, brochures, etc. What disappoints me the most is the clip art selection!! It's selection of clip art is very minimal!! I love making funny cards or humorous posters for friends/family. I often have to go on-line to fund any kind of funny cartoon type clip art. Most of the clip art in the program is real photographs. If I wanted a real photograph, I would use my own! I used an old version of Print Master for 10+ years. I recently upgraded to a Mac and needed a clip art/card making program. I understand there are just clip art programs available, but I prefer an all in one package. Clip art on the internet often comes at a cost.
    The other annoying thing is when making a card, you can choose to either do just the right side of inside the card or both sides. I once selected just the right side, but realized I was writing too much and would need both sides. I did not see a way to change my selection without starting completely over. On the old Printmaster, I just had to move the text box over to the left half of the page and create a new text box on the right.
    Those are my two pet peeves with this program. It's easy to use and has lots of project options.

    I was sort of reluctant about purchasing this product, the reviews were mixed, but I remember using it when I was on a PC based platform and it was pretty cool, so I made the plunge. While this is not a professional application, it more than suffices for making cards and thank you notes for friends and family, I even created a menu for a family reunion meal that was well received. I believe it is a good value for what you get, not professional, but more than adequate for home and personal use. The artwork gallery is substantial, a definite plus. I would reccomend purchasing this product.

    I tried to load the print shop on to my computer and was unable to do it. It came up with a sign that says need more space. I delete all the stuff off my computer and still I came up with the same message. So I was unable to use it.

    I have used Print Shop for Dos for years and like it very well. Imagine my dismay when the Mac version was SOOOOOO unfriendly. I had to do 26 pages (still haven't figured out how to compile a calendar from them). The original version was easy and made a complete calendar of 12 months, pix pages and a cover. I am VERY disappointed in the product and hope they fix it before next year.

    So, I purchased printshop for MAC because the previous purchases of printshop
    for PC and MAC do not work on my Mac. SO I PAID for express shipping and
    I put in the disc and get..... "this is a BLANK DISC".

    Oh and your "Technical Support" information on the jewel case label. Yea this is great.
    "choose THE PRINT SHOP TECHNICAL SUPPORT from the HELP menu.
    I can't get to the HELP MENU. O.K. So go to "[...]" and follow
    links to SUPPORT The support link tells you the same thing, "Use the help menu".
    Hurdles for Customers = BAD return sales.

    This Mackiev.com site. I click on Printshop I get updates. No one has to click the button which says;
    "Mountain Lion is here and we are ready" How does that tell me this
    is our technical help site.
    Then I have to fill out this Mackiev page which says
    You're all set! No update needed.
    Technical support:
    If you are having a technical problem, please submit a request here and we'll get back to you quickly!

    CLICK the "here" and enter that same data all over again. Confidence continues to wain. Finally I get to...wait for it......
    OH YOU GOT A BLANK DISC!!!!!! YES! THANKS FOR BEING SO FORTHCOMING
    WITH YOUR BRODERBUND INFORMATION. You know I bought Adobe photoshop
    and THEY have online CHAT which was extremely satisfactory. Mackiev's form with all the; find the URL for Amazon.com,
    find your CD-ROM drive info, etc. Plus my SIX hours dealing with your company and nothing is installed. BOO! So 20 words about the product. I have had much difficulty concerning Broderbund Printshop. I cannot install it and their tech support site is difficult to navigate. I do not recommend this product.
