Encore Print Shop Professional 4.0

I have 2.0 and it is a lot more user friendly than the 4.0

Used print shop before, did all kinds of projects ... when windows 10 came along that all went out the window ... so along comes The Print Shop Professional to save the day and work with windows 10 (LOL). Got it loaded, icon looks good, select icon Print Shop window pops up looks good ... and that is as far as I can get, I think I will able to get it working someday, but as my DAD use to say aint easy McGee.

This is junk. Just had to come here and say that to make myself feel better after ruining several pages of labels due to program glitches. Previous versions of Printshop were so helpful to us as small business owners but this is utterly worthless. Do yourself a favor and find an alternative.

I have read reviews that it was hard to use ect. I bought it for my wife to replace ver 23. It installed as it should have. and she said, as expected with a new ver a small learning curve. But didnt take much to make address labels and play around with the features. She has no issues with it.

I thought this would help me with producing better pics for my family files

I read the bad reviews and ignored them, don’t make my mistake what they say is true down to the weird error messages.

Im still trying to adjust to this. But it seems ok. I have been using Printshop 23 for many years. This one take some getting used to.

Not as convenient as I expected.

This was described as working on Window 10 but it does NOT. Save your time & money! No tech support! If I could give it a zero I would!

First off, it load the Smilebox software without my permission. I immediately deleted it. Then, I wanted to make my Christmas postcards I have made for years using Print Shop 23. I have also been given the option to use Avery Template for 4-to-a-page printing. There is no Avery templates in this version (some kind of Professional); you have to create your own custom paper. Then, I was trying to crop a photo and I got an error message that my photo size used too much memory and that I had to close the photo editor. I closed the entire program. Later I tried to start the program and got and error box that read Exception has been thrown by the target of an invocation. Object reference not set to an instance of an object. The program would not start. This is the worst piece of software I have ever seen. I have been using Broderbund Printmaster and The Print Shop for over 20 years and have never had any problems with them (5 or six different version over that time.) I will be returning this for a refund. Dont buy it.
