This is a one-trick pony which doesn't even perform its one trick well. I ordered Soho Business Cards software to replace my old Corel Print Office 2000 which wouldn't run on Mac OS X. However, it does not begin to compare with my old program. In Soho I can have my images aligned perfectly on the screen and they come out differently in print. On my cards I have a detail of a painting on the lefthand side with the title underneath, and then on the right I include several lines of contact information including my website address. The url is on the same horizontal plane as the title of the painting on my monitor, but creeps upward significantly when it's printed out, making it look very unprofessional. In addition, the color saturation and sharpness isn't as good as the older program's even though I'm using the same printer and Avery card stock. I emailed tech support and they took a long time responding. When I finally heard from them they said that they couldn't replicate the problem and asked me to send them the file I was having difficulty with. Because the file seems to be several MBs and I have a slow dialup connection I told them I couldn't do that. When I heard from them again they suggested that I try saving the file as an Adobe pdf and print it like that to see if it would solve the problem. I haven't bothered to try it. Until I find something better I'm back to Corel in Classic. It yields excellent results and it's easy, intuitive and truly WYSIWYG. Comment | Permalink | (Report this)
