I was doing Desktop Publishing on an Epson QX-10 using cp/m from the mid 80s well into the 90s, and MS Dos systems from the 80s until WYSIWYG Desktop Publishing became possible in the late 80s with a program called Express Publisher.

Print Shop on the other hand has creators who are paid to create templates, as well as templates made available either free or for a charge by people who make a template for their own use.Īgain - a reason there are differences between using Linux programs and buying Print Shop and running it under Wine, which again is not an 'alternative to Print Shop'.
Some of the Linux programs have templates to complete many tasks, but Linux program templates are released after someone like myself creates a template for our own use, then decides that it might be useful for somebody else out there FREE of Charge.
This can take a while and sometimes workarounds - but it can be done.Īs for Templates, Print Shop has many, many templates. Gimp, LibreOffice (I often wonder why so few people learn what LibreOffice can do), Scribus and a few other Linux tools are on the other hand, quite capable of being used as an 'alternative' to Print Shop. That also means FREE Linux programs are NOT a true alternative to Print Shop. The thing here is that Print Shop is not really an alternative to Print Shop.Īnother thing is that Print Shop costs between $50 and $70 (USD). If I remember rightly it also had wizards that would step you through creating something just by asking you to select layouts/images/fonts from lists and adding your text to complete the project. The fact that you're starting with something that is already complete rather than staring at a blank page and wondering what to do is what makes it so easy for non-technical people to use. Each template would have sample text and graphics already added and you just had to modify it (eg change the text, swap out the clipart, etc) to get exactly what you want. You can start from scratch with a blank page and add in everything you want, but most people start with a template and just modify it. It's basically a desktop publishing program but it comes with thousands of templates for everything imaginable that you're likely to ever want to print (greeting cards, calendars, certificates, banners, invitations, gift tags, envelopes, labels, business cards, newsletters, letterheads, signs, postcards, pamphlets, etc). I don't think there's anything available for Linux that comes anywhere close to what PrintShop offers. Start the task manager (Ctrl-Esc), seach for PMW, and kill all instances. If you try to start it without a complete shutdown you get a crazy box which says PMW Retry/Cancel. For some reason Print Shop doesn't close completely.

The built-in PDF printer doesn't work under wine. be patient - takes a while (about a half minute) to start up and get to the main screen Essentially it ships without any templates or clipart (i.e., "/Setup/ProgramFilesFolder/The Print Shop 23.1/Content"/* "$" Unless your program has 15000 templates it's not an alternate. You find a template you like, and then you modify that template to suit your needs. Print Shop 23.1 (the last released) shipped with 15000+ templates and 250000+ pieces of clip art. Print Shop is a program which has an intuitive user interface and is used for generating (simple?) documents such as greeting cards, banners, certificates, etc. Scribus is NOT an alternate to print shop I know this post was closed, but I wanted to insert my 2 cents.

No need to dual-boot, you can always install Windows in a VirtualBox VM. I've never used Print Shop, but I'm 100% certain that I can easily reproduce whatever it can create using Linux programs.

I mean Windows Movie Maker was actually not too bad and was super easy to use, but I would never use it and always preferred more powerful and more difficult to use programs when I used Windows.

Seems "easier" is a common denominator when comparing Windows software to Linux software.Ībout the only thing I agree with that statement is that windows S/W is easier than Linux. Everything can be done with the mouse - no numerical information required (such as needed for labels, tags, paper size). Pictures are also infinitely shapeable/moveable. For example: Headline text control - shape, outline, fill, bend, and easily placed.
