Encore Print Shop Professional 4.0

It arrived with a big scratch on the disc and would not install on my windows 10

This software falls short of expectations inasmuch as there are no suggestions on how to use program! Would be nice with all these features to know how to use them.

I bought this to design wine bottle labels and could not use it because it would not work with my label stock. I emailed support and was told there are problems with this and they have no idea when it will be resolved. This error was a basic function of the software so they are selling absolute junk.

I bought this to replace my Print Shop 22, which the information presented said was compatible with Print Shop 1-- but, no, Print Shop 1 didnt want to work with my address book from my Print Shop 22. Very disappointing.

I bought this directly from Broderbund. In my opinion (and I have used the various versions since the 80s) this is absolutely the most user UNFRIENDLY software I have used in a very long time. I tried for 2 days to create a project (WHEN THE PROGRAM WOULD ACTUALLY OPEN) and all to no avail. I sent it back. this is Nothing like the previous versions. I bought it because the PS 23.1 would not print envelopes once I purchased a new printer. Broderbund tech told me the technology of the printers had surpassed the software and I would need a different program to print envelopes.

There are so many things wrong with this version of Printshop that they shouldnt be selling it. One problem that gives an error and shuts it down demands (after looking it up on the Web site) that you go to AppDataLocal (etc) and delete the file that has just been created there.

The program does not have spell check and is limited in its ability to edit and has a lot of malfunctions that completely shut the program down with out saving your work. Once you finally get to create your project and save then return later, all the spacing has changed an you have to redo your entire project. Consider buying another program.

I use this often. Easy to use.

Very disappointed. I used the The Print Shop Pro Publisher 23.1 for many years and made many projects and newsletters. Since I upgraded computers to Windows 10 I could no longer save my projects in PDF. Therefore I decided to upgrade to The Print Shop Professional 4.0 because they advertise it it as being able to open projects and files from 23.1. This is not entirely true as 4.0 is not able to properly open 23.1 files. The ones that it does try to open become distorted with things re arranged on the pages and the photos are mostly missing. Also you cannot print address labels from the address book. The stretch text feature is missing. etc etc. I am returning and hopefully I can get a refund. I was a sucker once and there wont be a twice. Do not buy this program if you believe it is an upgrade or is compatible with the 23.1 version. this is a major, major downgrade. Sickening.
