"Now the all-new Print Explosion Deluxe 3.0 takes advantage of the latest OS X innovations, delivering more creative options than ever before -- from store-quality greeting cards and photorealistic scrapbooks to certificates and photo cards," he added. "With more than 13,000 ready-made designs, this new edition of Print Explosion will help users find the perfect design for virtually any occasion."

iLife(R) Support

This latest edition of Print Explosion integrates with Apple Computer's iLife applications as never before, as users can now browse and import their iPhoto(R) library from right inside the program. In addition, Print Explosion 3.0 can directly import iTunes(R) play lists to produce professional-looking CD and DVD labels. Print Explosion Deluxe 3.0 even offers a new mail merge feature allowing users to automatically personalize and send greeting cards to people in their Mac OS X Address Book.

Universal Binary

As a true Universal Binary program, Print Explosion Deluxe 3.0 is optimized to run at peak performance on both PowerPC and the newest Intel-based Macs.

13,000+ Professional Designs

Providing even more ways than ever to create stunning print projects, Print Explosion Deluxe 3.0 contains nearly 50 percent more ready-made templates than its previous version. Users can now choose from more than 13,000 sensational designs in every conceivable category, including store-quality greeting cards, labels, posters and flyers, T-shirts, certificates, banners, calendars, business cards, crafts, matching stationery, and -- for the first time in Print Explosion history -- spectacular scrapbooks.

New Digital Scrapbooking Features

One of the most compelling new features in Print Explosion Deluxe 3.0 is its ability to create digital scrapbooks. The software includes hundreds of photorealistic scrapbook embellishments as well as easy-to-customize scrapbook templates, thus enabling users to create spectacular digital scrapbooks in just three easy steps.

100,000+ Premium-Quality Graphics

Print Explosion Deluxe 3.0 gives users a creative edge with more than 100,000 Art Explosion(R) clip art images, featuring a complete collection of vector illustrations, fine art, photographs and more. And unlike some other desktop publishing software products, all the graphics are included in the box with no downloading required.

900+ Fonts Plus Dazzling Text Effects

While the previous version of Print Explosion Deluxe shipped with 500 fonts, Print Explosion Deluxe 3.0 now offers more than 900 fonts, plus hundreds of dazzling text effect combinations to make headlines and logos really sizzle.

DVD-ROM Format for Easy Installation
