The Print Shop is a design and desktop publishing software application that has a multitude of uses. It was first developed in 1984 by Pixellite, which was later acquired by Broderbund. The Print Shop can be used to create a variety of publications — such as newsletters, flyers, magazines, newspapers and posters, anything that requires a mix of high quality images and striking text. It is similar to QuarkXPress, PrintMaster and Microsoft Publisher, but it was one of the first of its kind.
The Print Shop is a simple and easy to use publishing program, not as flash and useful and many of its counterparts, but it is quick, efficient and very cost-effective. The Print Shop is used in the marketing and design industries to create highly visual graphical publications, but it can also be used by individuals with simpler goals, such as designing greeting cards or publishing flyers. The Print Shop can support a large number of file formats and it has a long list of features and functions at its disposal. It was originally developed for the Apple OS but was later released on the Microsoft Windows Operating System and more.
