 Worst Printmaster of All January 9, 2009
screamer senior (new york)
I should have listened to the reviews. I've been using Printmaster since PM 8 came out. I always loved it and used it frequently. My two kids used previous versions for school for years and got incredible grades with it. Believe me, PM 18 needs the internet to download for a LOT of the art and projects, too many if you ask me. A real big inconvenience to Broderbund loyal customers. Shame on you Broderbund.
Out of 1,305,000 images, 92,000 are on the system, the rest you have to download. Out of 21,000 projects, 1,000 of them are on the system. This is unacceptable. I hate it.
 Well worth the money January 8, 2009

Upon receiving the Printmaster,I found the directions were quite simple.I made out a bunch of Christmas cards,in which I got great reviews.Plan on using it alot in the coming months/years.I highly recommend this program.
Hated it January 8, 2009
Michael Del Greco (WEST PATERSON, NJ USA)
After installing the product in a new top of the line computer running Vista I could not start the software. Every time I tried to start it I got an error message and the program would shut down.
I looked all over the place and could not find a tech support phone number.
Back in the box and back to Amazon was my cure
Too difficult to use January 6, 2009

Was not easy to use for me. I got print shop and it was much easier for me to figure out

Printmaster - Platinum Version 18Although I have used Prinmaster and Broderbund for over 15 years, I am totally dissatisfied with this product.
It advertises 1,350,000 graphics, however over 1,000,000 require Internet access but the program refuses to connect, even for registration.
On the registration icon it clearly indicated that one of the offerings expired several years ago, which is OK because it won't connect to the Internet anyway. A years subscription to the Million Image Club is offered by contacting Broderbund. The URL does not seem to exist.
Via the use of a magnifying glass, I discovered a statement that this program may not work with Internet Explorer 7, but does offer advice on uninstalling it and how to reinstall Internet Explorer 6. Totally unacceptable.
I thought it was a new program but I have found little to no improvement over earlier version
Attempts to contact the multiple companies involve (ie Broderbund, Encore, Navarre) have met with no results or contacts.
I give this program the lowest possible rating and highly recommend against it's purchase.
