Greeting Card Factory Deluxe 4.0

Summary: Great Program
Review: I bought this program because of what the other reviewer said. The graphics are great and it is easy and fun to use. I also have Hallmark, American Greetings, Printmaster, Print Artist and Print Shop, but I think I will be using this program the most. I like to make address labels and it has a way that you can put a different graphic on each label and print the sheet out one time.
Its really a great program.

Summary: FINALLY! CUT AND FOLD ENVELOPES AGAIN!!!!!
Review: I have quite a few greeting card programs- Printmaster (several versions), Printshop, Announcements, American Greetings, and a few others that I can not recall right now.

When I got a new computer last month, I realized that my programs needed to be updated due to printing difficulties, etc. I began to search for the different programs to choose from.

I heard quite a few bad things about Printmaster- the graphics, which I used to love so much, are said to be substandard now. The Victorian and other graphics seem to be missing.

Printshop just never measured up to the old Printmasters.

Announcements was OK, but antiquidated.

Then I found the Greeting Factory Deluxe 4.0. I read some good reviews on it, claiming that most people were happier with it than any other program that they ever had, including the older Printmaster, which had fantastic graphics.

Although I am a graphic designer, I rarely have time to design cards for emergencies, which happen all of the time. I wanted a nice program that made good cards, but I REALLY missed the CUT AND FOLD ENVELOPES that Prinshop and Announcements used to have.

I installed my Greeting Factory Deluxe this weekend and was literally shocked at the wonderful selection of cards, graphics, crafts, electronic greeting cards, projects, stationary, gift tags, and even the ability to make CD's that you can have slide shows on your DVD player with.

The cards are high class, and I especially like that they have a decent Christian selection with great verses and heartfelt sentiments- simple but pleasant.

The absolute clincher for me was discovering many CUT AND FOLD ENVELOPES in the craft section.

So far, I can not recommend this program highly enough. I have the new version of Printmaster coming soon, so I will see for myself how they compare and will add another review to that effect when I get the chance, however, if the reviews of it I have read are accurate, chances are that it will not hold a candle to this one.
