If only life were this easy
As the price of birthday/christmas/anniversary/mother's day cards etc etc increase, and there seems to be an ever increasing number of occasions when a card is needed then why not save money by creating and printing your own. To this end MacKiev's "The Print Shop Ver 2" is the ideal product. I bought and use the Mac version and to say it is simplicity itself to use is understating the obvious. There are 19 different projects on offer when you open the program including the inevitable card design to letterheads, tags for presents, calendars, post-it notes (c) etc etc plus a "blank page." Each project has three sections on offer, 1) Everything done for you - just print it out 2) Presenting the user with a basic page and offer suggestions as to how to fill in the missing bits to 3) A basic template leaving everything to user to add in. For the first two sections there are a large number of graphics on offer plus you can always access and insert your own clip-art or photos. However I have yet to find a way to import text from Office or iWord. It took me all of two minutes to produce a birthday card from scratch following the very easy loading of the program onto my iMac computer. A program cannot come any easier than that.Apart from the inability to insert text files I can find no fault with the program.Peter Holme

SOFTWARE NOT WORKING ON EL CAPITAN
I am returning this software - The Print Shop 2 - for a refund, today. I have been attempting, over about a week, to use it on an Apple iMac running El Capitan. However, I have been unable to edit text in a text block, as per the instructions provided in the accompanying handbook/on line help section. I have liaised with MacKiev via email and, in fairness to them, they have tried to resolve the issue. However, having followed their instructions, including removing various folders from my iMac, the editing issue has continued. Essentially, having double clicked a text block, or selected 'edit text', I am NOT presented with a cursor that allows me to select relevant text in order to edit it - e.g. change font size or colour. This has always been the case whenever I have imported a graphic (jpeg image) into the text block. I'm not sure why this is happening, and nor are MacKiev, but without the ability to edit text, the software is not practicable. I can only conclude, in terms of my own personal expereince, that the software has not been effectively adjusted in line with Apple's relatively new operating system. Others may not have found this to be an issue, but unfortunately, I have. The two stars are for MacKiev's support in this matter.

Moving to Mac os
Having moved from Windows with Microsoft publisher to Mac os I looked for a replacement. Printshop was it. The 4 star rating may change after I learn all the ins and outs. So far it looks promising, but I have only done two simple projects.

Smashing
I had Microsoft Publisher previously, then I was given a Mac Book for Christmas. To tell you the truth I missed publisher then. So looked around for the Mac version. This print shop 2 does not quite fill the bill, but it is a good second.

WOW ! FAB COOL 2010 EDITION!
The Print Shop 2 for Mac is a brilliant powerful piece of software!I didn't know whether to order this but I'm delighted I did!I was looking for software to produce my own greeting cards as it was getting expensive buying online cards. I had heard mixed reports about Print Shop 2 but this 2010 edition seems to have improved on other editions. It comes with an excellent & comprehensive user guide and there are also free updates available on line. Any way I must go as I've got some cards to make!

Bit disappointed
Expected more options, I found the card layouts fairly limited. Went back to Mac Pages to create collage for special event.
