Projects:  

Print Workshop might be more ideal for creating home-type print projects. The program has only basic functionality compared to other higher-ranked products. For example, you don't have the ability to create style sheets, insert tables or create matching stationery sets.

Ease of Use:  

Even though Print Workshop is easy to install and the control panel is easy to use, we feel that the templates Print Workshop provides aren't as professional-looking as our top-ranked desktop publishing products.

We also experienced odd loading and pausing problems with Print Workshop. These problems sometimes resulted in having to reboot the computer.

Photo/Graphic Tools:  

Print Workshop let's you create some great effects, including fixing flaws in photographs and correcting red-eye. You can also crop and resize images using different shapes.

Text Tools:  

Print Workshop includes a spellchecker and prewritten text to add to your projects, but the overall text tool capabilities are poor. You can add simple drop shadows and shapes to text, but with other functions (especially headline text) you're rather limited.

Printing/Sharing:  

Print Workshop can print to custom paper sizes, change the resolution of the print and send your projects to friends via email.

Help/Support:  

Print Workshop doesn't come with a user guide. It's also harder to find online support; you have to do some browsing through different pages before you can find it.

For the price, Print Workshop might be a good program for creating home and small business print projects, but if you're looking for a professional-looking desktop publishing program we suggest one of the other higher-ranked desktop publishing programs.
