 Less is NOT more.Jul 10, 2006
By Cheryl A.
"cherylannh"
I've used Printmaster 12 platinum on DVD and liked it well enough but the disk wore out. I knew from reviews of subsequent versions that Broderbund was giving us less and less but even still I was stunned by just how much less. Where are all the projects? Even counting the online projects there just isn't much here for anyone. For kid's masks, version 12 has at least a dozen but this version gives you 2! The cards are terrible - many are just small clipart images with a white background. (At least you won't need much ink). In short, if you want to create anything decent you'll have to design it yourself. Inspired by the ONE nice-looking cut-out card, I was able to search the art work and create several nice cards that I would be pleased to send.

 Print Master Platinum 17 a waste of moneyJun 21, 2006
By jellyfish
I have used lots of PrintMaster versions I had some trouble with version 16 with the address book so I was happy to find that a new version was out and called to order they told me I wouldn't have a problem with the new one. This new version is JUNK; all the projects have to be downloaded so if you don't have a high speed connection forget it! I don't like the fact that you have to go on line every time you want to create a card etc. I sent a note to customer service and just received a generic response. So looks like I have to find new software.

Huge waste of money! Shame on you, BroderbundOct 02, 2006
By Lynn C. Behnke
I love PrintMaster. I'm currently using PrintMaster 16 Platinum. I have used many generations of this program with great success. I have taught classes on creative desktop publishing and always recommended--even sold--PrintMaster, but this one is terrible! Most of the images, even the previews, seem to be online and require a download which is very slow. The thumbnails are low resolution and hard to see, so you have to download previews just to get a good look. Most of the images can't be accessed at all, because there is a prompt for the intall/program disk. There is no such disk. There are separate install and program disks, neither of which satisfies the program.
Encore, which now distributes the program, does not support it. Broderbund does not not support it, except through its website which does not address this issue. If you try to phone customer service, you pay for a call to get an automated response which sends you to another response which tells you to go to the website.
Do not purchase this product without a money-back guarantee.

Crashes, won't access disk, a terrible program. No support, either.Jun 05, 2006
By Randall Griffith
"rrgriffith"
Junk. I had to reinstall over and over before I could even get it to recognize the disk that had the art work! Other artwork is only available via download, so if you have a modem, watch out. I emailed support a week ago and guess what: no answer yet.

too slowMay 10, 2006
By Red Willow County Fair
I like the Printmaster Gold 16 MUCH better, the new one takes way to long to come up and make projects. I find myself putting in the old one all the time. I wasted my money.
