THE PRINT SHOP TORRENT SOFTWARE
In April 1989, it was awarded a "Diamond" certification from the Software Publishers Association for sales above 500,000 units. In 1988, Broderbund announced that the company had sold more than one million copies, and that sales of the software comprised 4% of the entire United States software market in 1987. II Computing listed it seventh on the magazine's list of top Apple II non-game, non-educational software as of late 1985, based on sales and market-share data. In 1985, it and Ghostbusters were reportedly the two most widely pirated Commodore 64 programs. Versions for MS-DOS, Commodore 64, and the Atari 8-bit family followed, as did a variant for the Apple II GS. Designed by David Balsam and programmed by Martin Kahn, it became one of the most popular Apple II titles of all time. The original version was for the Apple II and created signs, cards, banners, and letterheads. Over the years, the software has been updated to accommodate changing file formats and printer technologies. It was unique in that it provided libraries of clip art and templates through a simple interface to build signs, posters and banners with household dot-matrix printers. The Print Shop is a basic desktop publishing software package originally published in 1984 by Broderbund. Discontinued: Apple II, Atari 8-bit, MS-DOS, C64, J-3100, NEC PC-9801
