Description:
You can design and print business cards using any desktop publishing program or word processor, but a dedicated tool makes it so fast and simple that even non-designers can produce more compelling cards. Art Explosion Business Card Factory Deluxe comes with 2,500 editable design templates, 500 fonts, and endless images. On the downside, a typical installation requires 300 MB of drive space. You're asked to enter your details during installation, which enables the program to automatically insert the correct information on cards. You choose a card design by specifying preprinted (from various vendors) or plain paper stock. Choose landscape, portrait, or folding cards, then choose a category and subcategory--each of which has several designs you can browse as scrollable thumbnails. The chosen design appears in the workspace with your information in it. Select items by clicking to edit, replace, move, or remove them. Check your work in the preview window, save, and print it--it's that simple. You can have up to 10 sets of user details on hand as profiles, or, if you need more, use the included address book. These features enable you to reprint sets of cards on demand. Advanced features include the capability to add images directly from a scanner (for ID cards, perhaps) and work with layers, layout grids, custom database fields, and fine color control. All this and a design guide are covered in the manual. Art Explosion Business Card Factory Deluxe is ideal for large families and small businesses or departments with rapidly changing staff. This is an excellent package. --Steve Patient
