Battle of the Broderbund Print Programs

Monday December 15, 2008
Broderbund produces two different popular desktop publishing titles: The Print Shop and PrintMaster. Someone recently asked me what the difference is between the two. Really, there's not a huge amount of difference. Now if you're comparing the newest most deluxe version of the The Print Shop (currently The Print Shop 23 Pro Publisher Deluxe) with an older -- and much less expensive -- PrintMaster title (such as PrintMaster Gold 17) the differences are more noticeable. But for a true comparison I took two comparable titles and compared their features and looked at both professional reviews and comments written by users to see how they stack up. Take a look at The Print Shop Deluxe 23 vs. PrintMaster Platinum 18 and see how they compare and find out, between these two titles, which one suits your needs best.

If you used either or both of these titles, be sure to add your own review and share your experiences with these Broderbund desktop publishing and print creativity titles.
