Print Explosion Deluxe 3.0 provides the simplest yet most spectacular software in the contemporary market for creating customized printed projects.

Nova Print Explosion Deluxe 3.0 - The ToolRating Good

Desktop publishing software packages are aplenty in the market but most of them have restricted designing options, while others are too expensive for the number of features they offer. Nova Print Explosion has always provided innovative and creative software applications for Mac users.

Now, the latest offering in the form of Print Explosion Deluxe 3.0 reaches yet another level of great software for creating customized printed projects.

Its applications are compatible with both Intel-based Macs and PowerPC. Most of its pioneering features are based on the OS X platform, which creates the most comprehensive printing platform for any imaginable requirement including greeting cards, scrapbooks, brochures, certificates or photo-cards.

Designing Options GaloreRating Good

Further, you don’t always have to define the designs — there are 13,000 loaded designs to choose from, including some for CD labels. Similarly, the number of choices in images is exhaustive at 80,000 and there are nearly 500 fonts for creating artistic or more formal-looking projects. Out of the total pre-loaded designs, nearly 5,000 are dedicated to greeting cards only. The idea is to provide a greeting card for every conceivable occasion/reason. Each of these cards can be further customized to suit your personal requirements.

Effortless Designing ToolsRating Good

Once the personalization application is in operation, you can edit, format, shrink, merge, enlarge and rotate text/images without any restrictions. You have the choice of sharing your projects or publishing them in the HTML format. Even the quotations for greeting cards don’t have to be thought about — the Quotation Library has thousands of pre-loaded quotations.

There are a number of Graphics tools that can be used to create clearly-defined special effects. You can also use tools like Mail Merge to forward greeting cards to anyone listed in the Mac Address Book. Images can also be imported from the iPhoto. The user interface is very interactive and is compatible with iPhoto and iTunes.

Help for UsersRating Good

Another aspect that makes the Print Explosion Deluxe 3.0 undemanding is the format in which every functionality has been put forth, i.e. the instructions are not your typical set of textual guides but an easy-to-understand, self-explanatory format that walks you through the entire designing process.

There is even a Tutorial that gives you an overall feel of using this software by exhaustively explaining some of the more conventional designs. These helpful resources are good enough to convert the most basic of desktop users into competent designers within hours.

Print Explosion Deluxe 3.0 has been recommended more for those who have some level of dexterity with desktop publishing softwares, but the fact is that it is equally suited to first-time users. In terms of the choice of applications, the Deluxe 3.0 has no market competition and when you consider its economical price tag, it seems like a designing offering that would be hard to resist.
