    I have used this software for over 2 years now. I just upgraded to the new OS-X version. I am extremely satisfied with it as well as the company. When I received the cd's I had some trouble installing it. Tech Support walked me through installing the software. They were very helpful! I am now up and running and printing like a pro!



    1 out of 5 stars Frustratingly slow - even on G5 machine   November 14, 2005

    This application is so very slow that every time I use it, I get very frustrated. Some of the basics are not very well done or clunky (small example - you can't cut using Cmd-X in editing dialogs) and some of the latest features of Mac OS are unsupported (inline spell checking, Spotlight as examples). When a region on a page needs to be redrawn, sometimes it has to redraw the entire page, and this is incredibly (embarrasingly) slow.

    I've looked for updates on the Nova Development site, but I don't think they're supporting this application anymore. As a matter of a fact, as I write this, the developer's website is down. The copyright on software is dated 2001 and I believe this is the last time they updated this software.

    Please look elsewhere and don't purchase this application, unless you enjoy cheesy, unprofessional graphics, a very slow UI and basically unsupported software.

    I bought this program for greeting cards. I was amazed that it could do so much! Everything that you could want to print can be done through this. I would highly recomend this for anybody interested in printing!


    4 out of 5 stars Nice app, but has weird quirks that need fixing.   April 3, 2004

    Pretty much everything they claim about this app is true. If you're looking for a simple app for print projects, this is hard to beat. That said, here are the gotchas to look out for:

    The app doesn't support ANY antialiasing making on-screen editing difficult. If your project is destined for print this isn't a big deal, but if your destination is a screen image it's a problem.

    The program's JPEG compression is HORRIBLE; its BEST setting is worse than Photoshop's WORST setting! With its lack of antialiased text, this renders the program's e-postcard feature practically useless.

    The installer is questionable. The program ships on three CDs, with the installer on one and extra graphics and fonts on the others. But the installer doesn't add the contents of the other two CDs to your installation. Those have to be installed MANUALLY. Considering that the quality of the graphics on the other two CDs is much higher AND the fact that this information isn't clearly explained anywhere, it becomes an issue for the less knowledgable/experience (for whom this app is primarily aimed towards).

    Knowing this, I would buy this app again -- but I wouldn't use it for anything destined for on-screen use. Since the app is called *PRINT* Explosion this makes sense. :-)

    UPDATE 5/2/04: Since writing this review, I have learned via an email conversation with Nova Development that they have no interest in addressing the shortcomings listed above. I have also purchased The Print Shop for Mac OS X which is a significantly nicer/higher quality app and is definitely an OS X-savvy app (not a Windows port as Print Explosion is), but it doesn't have the billions of bits of art and fonts that come with Print Explosion. But if given the choice between Print Explosion and Print Shop, choose Print Shop.

    Print Explosion works great with OS X Panther. It has a wealth of templates, images and fonts. The only problem is you can't start with a blank project, but it is easy enough to pick a generic one and delete the stuff you don't want. Well worth the money.
