I have used both. They are comparable. I am currently using the new version of The Print Shop mainly for printing greeting cards. I can not really say one is better than the other. The Print Shop is newer than Print Explosion. Well, maybe one thing I have noticed. When printing greeting cards in Print Explosion, I sometimes had problems aligning them to print quarter-fold cards whereas I never have that problem with The Print Shop. I don't know why. Regardless, I don't think the differences between them are significant. -- ---- QuicKeys is my new favorite way to control my Mac! <http://www.webcontactpro.net/app/aftrack.asp?afid=5113> ---------------- Greg Martinez gregmartinez at mac.com iMac 17" G4, 1GHz, OS 10.3.5, 768 MB RAM. iBook 12" G4, 800MHz, OS 10.3.5, 640 MB RAM. ----------------- On Oct 23, 2004, at 4:54 PM, David Crump wrote: > Hi all, > It's time for me to get a true OS X Consumer Publishing program to run > under 10.3.5 on my iBook.
