Very nice upgrade

2006-12-25
I went from Printmaster Platinum 10 to Platinum 16. I'm having a ball with all the new clip art, and only 3 disks instead of 8 is very convenient. The only thing I don't like is the difficulty I'm having changing the color of itmes. Otherwise, everything is basically the same. Very easy to use; I highly recommend this program.

I've used Printmaster for years !

2006-11-13
I upgrade every few new releases. This is THE BEST print software available, (and I have received or purchased many other brands). I use print software ALOT and NOTHING compares to Printmaster. Don't be scared off by all the negative talkers. It's obvious they don't have enough computer skills to utilize the software properly. It does take some time to know all the in's and out's of the product and to learn to use it to your needs and lifestyle. But once you've become comfortable with the operation of it, Printmaster can honestly assist you with everyday life. Ie: homework, invites, presentations, any personal needs. Don't let the less than savy scare you off, the product has a tutorial.

Not enough new content

2006-03-25
I am a long time user of the Printmaster products. I have not seen enough new / original projects and art to justify the cost of this upgrade. I was disappointed.

Not so "Sweet 16"

2006-03-16
I have been buying versions of PrintMaster for over 8 years and I was VERY disappointed in this version. I saw absolutely NO difference in PM "Platinum" 16 and regular old "Gold 15". In fact, I wrote the company and asked for my money back because PrintMaster 21 has just come out -- in fact, it was virtually within DAYS that version 21 was announced from when I received version 16.

If this is your first PrintMaster, it's OK. If you think this is an upgrade -- forget about it!

Don't buy to send Email cards and don't buy if you aren't familiar with Publisher!

2006-02-13
This program is very cumbersome to use. It is NOT intuitive. If you have Windows XP you will not be able to send Email cards because they are .exe files and Outlook Express does not send or receive .exe files. There is NO technical support other than FAQ pages. Riverdeep software basically sends you a preprinted email that states that if you can't find your answer in the FAQ section there is nothing they can do. Do not buy any Broderbund product from now on unless you want to be aggravated.

Amazon website untruthful

2008-02-24
I bought this Printmaster Platinum through Amazon. When I installed it, I found that it was a 2006 version, and any offers of on online images and the like were void. I contacted Amazon, and some smart-alec said I bought a 2006 version. Nowhere on the site did it say it was an old, dusty version. The email sent back to me said to read the overview information carefully. Still no mention of a 2006 version.

When I installed it, I found out it was a 2006 version...and being opened and installed, I can't return it. Amazon is the last place I'll buy any software in the future.

The only good thing that happened, Amazon responded quickly. Why not, they scored another unfair sale.Printmaster - Platinum Version 18

Excellent product fast delivery!

I've always enjoyed Broderbund products. This one is no exception. Meets all of the printing needs of a home office or individual.

Printmaster Platinum 16.0

2007-11-02
This is surely a step up from the Printmaster 10 that I've been using for years. I downlowded the entire program on my hard drive, so there is no switching CDs every time you want to add a new image...fabulous! That makes it ten times quicker! Lots of images to use from the CDs and the use of images from the internet is very easy. I love to make cards,newsletters, fliers, etc... I would recommend it for anyone who wants a simple but creative card program.

It's suck!

2007-10-31
I though this product is great like everybody said, but it's really is suck! It's difficult to install whole programs. And one more, the seller doesn't give refund free, I don't understand why? They just care to sell their staff, never care if customer satisfied or not. Never buy again!

PrintMaster Platinim 16.0

It's OK but I find it not as user friendly as the old PrintMaster Premier. Maybe when I get my new computer up and running it'll work better. This one is a 1998 model.
