Summary: It's okay
Comment: I own this and find it "average" in performance. When I was putting a program booklet together, it would'nt add page numbers so I had to add them manually and could not get them to be uniformed because it would use the same font as the one used on that particular page...it was crazy! The graphics were not as appealing, most were cartoonish...whimsical...I was looking for more "classy" clip art, and also needed occasion and event/holiday art...but instead had to go online to download my own...I have searched online for greeting card softwares as I own quite a few...I think these companies should ask me about what card software programs need because it seems each one is lacking what another card program has ...is this deliberate??? Why can't they all have the same designing and technical requirements but only vary in style and degrees in type of art....and thus through time, only graduating and improving capabilities and by simplifying our lives at the same time....you think???

Summary: Beautiful layouts, poor search feature.
Comment: I agree with most of the reviews here, the search feature is a disappointment. You must be within a category to do a search, you cannot search across all categories which is a shame since this program is loaded with really beautiful graphics.
This new version of Print Artist Platinum has an abundance of gorgeous pre-designed layouts. The designers loaded the program with really modern layouts and left the trite, tiresome designs out. I especially like the many scrapbooking templates that come with the program along with the many scrapbooking elements that are included.
The features of the program didn't change a whole lot. If you used Print Artist 2003 then you really are not going to find anything new here. Its features are comparable to other programs of its price & purpose. It offer body/title text effects, special effects (such as extrusions, shadows, blending, etc...), color effects (brightness, hue, saturation, etc...) and shape effects. It does have a print preview which is helpful. One thing I do miss is the quotes. This new version does not include the 100's of quotes that came with the 2003 version, therefore, I kept the older version loaded on my computer.
Version 22 also seems to be a little stubborn when moving elements around. I often have to click on a text box several times before it is grabbed.
As far as features, I give Print Artist Platinum three stars. However, with the addition of the gorgeous graphics and abundance of well designed projects, I had to give it four stars.

Summary: PA 22 Search Fiasco - There will be no fix for this version
Comment: After few emails to Nova, they responded to me about the PA 22 search limitation/blundder.
- "Handful of complaints about it". Please complain about it, because it look like it is not a big issue to them. Or I'm the only one that can not find graphic without going to a painful "look around and good luck, if you can find it"
- "hopefully to get it fixed in the next incarnation of Print Artist" I read it, as wait for the next version and pay for them to fix it, Please don't wait for a patch for this version.
If you decide to return it, you have only 90 days, plus few limitations.
I guess, I'm now an ex-Print Artist user. I have use it since the first version called Instant Artist by Autocad!
Does any one have a good workaround for the search problem with PA 22? Just my last HOPE.
Please understand my frustation.

Hello,
Thank you for contacting Nova Development Technical Support.
That's the way the program was designed. We have had a handful of complaints about it, and it has been passed on to the developers, hopefully to get it fixed in the next incarnation of Print Artist. There will be no fix for this version however.
Thank you,
Jeff

Summary: A BIG DISAPPOINTMENT!!!
Comment: If you have used Print Artist in the past, you will be very disappointed in this version. I have used several older versions of Print Artist and have been quite satisfied. They were very easy to use. I recently bought a new computer and thought I would install the newest version. I have been extremely disappointed. It is quite time consuming to search for graphics. You must identify a category before searching for the graphic you want, but many of the graphics I have used successfully in the past do not fit into any category. I cannot locate them. Also, many of the calendars I have tried to use come out blank. This software is only a huge step backwards for Print Artist. I am reinstalling my 2003 version as I am writing this review.
