                         Print Shop Deluxe v1.2
                              for Windows

                             by Tony Curro

    Broderbund has been making the award-winning Print Shop for many
    years. They ventured into the Windows market a short time back. Now
    they have released version 1.2 of PS Deluxe for Windows. They listen
    to their customers. One drawback I had was the ability to import my
    graphic in their program. This version allows me to do that.

    Print Shop Deluxe is a program that no one should be without. It
    creates letterhead, banners, flyers and, my favorite, greeting
    cards. There is an extensive collection of graphics and fonts built
    into the package. In addition there are several add-ons that I will
    mention later.

    New Features of v1.2:

    * Import capabilities. Import graphics in TIFF, WMF, and BMP formats.

    * Export projects in EPS, TIFF, WMF, and BMP format.

    * Page Blends. Choose from a variety of styles, including Radiant
    and Diagonal blends to create colorful backdrops.

    * Foreign-language calendars. Print calendars in French, Spanish,
    German and Italian. PS Deluxe v1.2 also includes foreign characters
    and accents.

    Installation has remained simple, and many can create within minutes
    of installation, without opening the manual. I have been using PS
    Deluxe for many years. Last year I created all my holiday cards with
    it. I will do the same this year. It is a standard in the
    marketplace and, as I said before, a product that should be on
    everyone's shelf. After all, over 6 Million satisfied customers
    can't be wrong. A friend of mine was reluctant to purchase it. I
    kept singing the praises of PS Deluxe (well with my  singing voice,
    let's say I hummed them!), until he bought it. He has had many hours
    of fun with it. He uses it for cards and creates calendars with it
    each month.

    Broderbund also has several collections to enhance your enjoyment.
    The Sampler and Business Collections each includes more than 125
    graphics and a dozen fonts. The Sampler Collection includes artwork
    in themes such as sports, seasons, holidays, parties and
    celebrations. The Business Collection features graphics, fonts and
    layouts suitable for business needs -- from notepads and memos to
    fax cover sheets and letterhead. Comic Characters, a new release,
    contains more than 300 wacky graphics.

    Upgrades to version 1.2 are available to current owners of The Print
    Shop Deluxe for $15. For more information on how to upgrade, users
    can call 1-800-423-9999.
