Summary: Labels & Envelopes
Review: SOHO (Small Office, Home Office) Labels and Envelopes by Chronos is a great way to design and print professional looking labels, envelopes, and letterhead with your Mac OS X.

It comes on 2 CDs and requires a G3 or higher, running 10.2 or later (10.3 or later to use vector clip art), 30 MB of available disk space (1.2 GB for full clip art collection), and prints very well on ink jet or laser printers.

I installed this software on an iMac G4 running 10.3 Panther. The installation process was very simple - just click on the installation icon. Although some of the features are easy to figure out, I discovered I needed to print the user's guide from the help menu. Even though it consists of 79 pages, I found it to be most helpful.

This software comes with over 13,000 photographs and clip art graphics, 50 Bitstream fonts in Post Script format, and many professional ready-made designs for labels, envelopes, or letterhead. It is compatible with most label and envelope stocks from Avery and others. You can make address labels, file folder labels, multi-use labels, disk labels, audio labels, video labels, name badges, and more - all with ease.

The thing I like most about this software is that it integrates with Mac OS X Address Book and iPhoto. This feature makes it simple to address your long list of Christmas cards. I have used other software for making labels but none had the vast amount of features that SOHO provides. With iPhoto and over 13,000 graphics available, you can design and customize labels and envelopes unique to you. For example, with iPhoto I found it easy to make Christmas gift tags that have a picture of the recipient on the tag.

With so many features available, this software should be ideal for the small business owner. Need to make inventory barcode labels, warning labels, product labels, raffle tickets, business labels, etc? With SOHO Labels & Envelopes you can do all this plus much more. With the features included, you can design and customize labels, envelopes, and letterhead like the professionals and pocket the savings. Although I am not a business owner, I plan to get a lot of use from this piece of software.
