Printshop 23 Deluxe, October 24, 2009I have used Print Shop since it came out and each version surpasses the old one, giving meThe Print Shop 23 Deluxe new resourses to choose from. For me, being able to customise how I want a greating card… or make a flyer for my artwork, is as good as it gets. Being able to use my own photographs and such from my hardrive is a plus. I have tried another program but came back to the one I liked best....Print Shop. Joy Deckard [...]
print shop 23 deluxe, October 1, 2009I have Vista and not any troubles I read about.
Great Product, September 12, 2009I've used Print Shop ever since it first came out. I also purchased, in those early days, Print Master. However, it was Print Shop that kept me coming back for the next version. It is intuitive and easy for a first-timer but has advanced aspects to satisfy the intermediate user. I recommend it for all the projects it lists in its advertising.
DO NOT BUY Printshop23: NOT compatibale with Vista or Vista 64bit., September 2, 2009Printshop23 is NOT compatible with either Vista or Vista 64bit PCs. The package says it is but it isn't. There is no easy software update available on the Broderbund/Encore website either. If you can find… them,there are several procedures you must go through to install outdated (by 5 years) .Net v1 software on your pc. This is absurd!!! I Finally got printshop to run on 32 bit vista. I'm not messing with my 64 bit vista pc. The Print Shop 23 Pro Publisher Deluxe

The Print Shop 23 Deluxe earns a rating of 8.4 on a 10-point scale at Computer Shopper, based on a full review. The varied projects and huge number of templates earn praise, but the interface is still judged awkward and inefficient.
Review: The Print Shop 23 Deluxe, David English, Nov. 2008
The Print Shop 23 Deluxe gets top ranking among "print creativity" software for fun home projects and ranks second for greeting cards -- with high ratings on all counts: features, image tools, text tools, ease of use and support. The main drawback noted is that to use the excellent tutorials, you have to print them out, since you can't read them and play around with the software at the same time.

Over two dozen users review The Print Shop 23 Deluxe here, giving it an average rating of three on a five-point scale. About half the users are satisfied, but some complain about a variety of problems with installation, slow printing and poor technical support. The less advanced Mac version earns the same mixed ratings.
Review: Broderbund The Print Shop 23Deluxe, Contributors to Amazon.com, As of Mar. 2009
This much earlier version of Print Shop Deluxe earns an Editors' Choice award, based on comparisons with three other desktop publishing programs. The reviewer tests it by starting with a template, concluding that the built-in photo and video-editing software is excellent.
Review: The Print Shop Pro Publisher Deluxe, Version 15, Christina Wood, Feb. 2003
5. CNET
This expert review covers an even older version of Print Shop Deluxe, giving it an overall rating of 3.5 out of a possible five stars. The main criticism is that the templates aren't suitable for business use, but users rate it a bit higher -- saying it's fine for family fun once you learn to use it.
