WORST SOFTWARE I HAVE EVER PURCHASED - I CAN'T BELIEVE THAT THEY GET AWAY WITH SCREWING CUSTOMERS - WE NEED A CLASS ACTION SUIT -

My Review 

It is hard to believe that any company could produce such lousy software in 2011! !- you can't access the back page of the cards as it is reserved for Printmaster's logo 2- you can't open cards made with previous versions of Printmaster; I have 669 projects that I can no longer access because the program doesn't recognize its' own HCR files 3- you can only print cards to a maximum of 300 DPI; my printer can do up to 2400 X 1200 DPI - this way they can get you to have them print your high resolution cards for a fee. It is impossible to get any response from them to my request for a full refund and I have complained to Wal-mart over the fact that those who purchase Printmaster on line can obtain a full refund if they are not 100% satisfied while anyone who bought the software in a retail store is screwed. DO NOT BUY THIS SOFTWARE!!!
