I use Print Shop Deluxe quite frequently to make greeting cards and such for various events, be it a thank you note, birthday card, or something else. Below is a YouTube video I linked to where I describe my process. Normally what I do is I make the card in Print Shop Deluxe and then print it to PDF using a PDF writer. Then I can transfer it to a modern system to print it in color.  Modern PC: https://youtu.be/Jmbfcug13Ig Quicktime video on Cornica: http://www.cornica.org/mac-apps/print-shop-deluxe/ |

Excellent video, Europa I've been itching to try these kinds of projects myself, but I'm holding off until I can jump on my Beige G3 directly or a more powerful laptop for emulation. My Basilisk II version is the Android port, currently on an older ASUS ChromeOS ARM FlipBook, so hopefully I can get my Chromebook's next of kin and use Crouton versus Android. So far, emulation is missing Running Mac OS 7, especially 7.6.1, in PPC for a pretty fast and more compatible OS for running PPC software titles that initially shipped with the first PowerMacs, which is why I'm so happy to have a Beige G3

I love the video, Europa! Finally we get to see your PowerBook 1400 in action ;-) btw loading times add to the experience, you know? I find them to have the perfect timing for me to take a sip of beer :-D I used to read about Print Shop Deluxe but never actually used it. What are typical use cases? Greeting cards? Invitations? What else have you been using it for? I like the idea of using my 8600 for creating individual greeting cards. Wife and me went back to sending traditional, paper Christmas greetings cards two years ago. Sitting down, taking a few minutes and thinking of what you really want to say instead of GIFs and smilies via Social Media. Haha, thinking of creating a nice Christmas card with 1 bit graphics and Studio/1 - 80's Mac style.

Thank you! These sorts of projects are really fun. I agree, the loading times add to the experience for sure! Print Shop Deluxe can be used for a variety of things really. It's sort of just a consumer-focused desktop publishing software. I primarily use it for greeting cards but it can also be used for banners, flyers, and so on. I did use it to make a "No food or drink" sign for my bedroom after my brother walked in while eating something and got crumbs all over the carpet though. xD I agree about paper greeting cards. It feels so nice to make and receive them, especially on an old Mac.
