Is there a PrintShop that is compatible with Mac-Catalina OS? I work for a school and do the marketing, therefore in need of an Upgraded PrintShop - if not, any idea of when there might be one coming out?

It's maddening, isn't it. The developers were notified of this 64-bit thing well over a year ago. I guess Mackiev doesn't care enough about their customers to have updated their app in advance. Luckily, I only upgraded to Catalina on my iMac, but left my MacBook Pro with Mojave.

When I called a few months back they said that there is hope to have new Printshop ready the end of the year, the year is coming to an end, lets all keep fingers crossed! I have so much that is locked up in PrintShop!

Wishing all a Merry Christmas/Happy Holiday and a wonderful New Year (with PrintShop up and running) to all!

I have been asking this question ever since Catalina came out and was told several months ago by Mackiev Software that it was not yet released. However, they now have a banner on their web site that says "Catalina is Here....check compatibility". When I go through the site looking at the products I can't confirm that there is in fact a Catalina computable release yet. I have also sent an e-mail to them, but no response. Without it all of our files are completely inaccessible.

They have already had a year of warnings from Apple that MacOS was going to be 64bit only.

I forgot to add the webpage where Encore told me Print Shop Mac V. 1.0.234 was located. It is here:

I have this question , also. All of my cards, charts, recipes and letters are no longer visible.

Totally lost until I and upgrade Print Shop. When will they have the upgrade for Catalina users available?

Thank you Crubgood. I hope that they, the makers of Print Shop, were being honest and will have it available for Catalina users. I have tried using Word for some of my projects and it is incredibly difficult to use for what I want to do.

I have spent the past two days talking to Apple, Adobe and Photoshop, all I hear is that you have to talk to the developer. my Adobe Reader is down, I was told by Adobe to upgrade to Adobe Acrobat, all I can find is you have to pay..... All of my printshop projects are blocked from being opened because it say: Could not complete your request because Photoshop does not recognize this type of file. No one can tell me what the correlation is between Printshop and Photoshop. Once again, contact the App Developer! Grrrrrrr Wish I had researched Catalina before I upgraded!

I was using Print Shop almost every day and am so disappointed that it no longer works with Mac Catalina. Here's hoping that MacKiev gets on this problem ASAP. I would not have installed the new system software.

I thought it was interesting that they stated it will be a free upgrade. Maybe that’s why it’s taking longer. I would actually be OK with them charging for new version — especially if it helped them fund the development so that they wouldn’t be playing catch up after a macOS release.

Yes, we are. I have many projects that I can no longer access. Going to pull out an old iMac desktop and see if I can resurrect PS. I was told by Broderbund that their MAC version (when it comes out) will not be supporting previous MacKiev version PS projects. Their feud is our nightmare.

I'm posting mainly to follow this feed, I too am in the same boat.. Used Print Shop for years for personal use and for our small business. Once upgraded I lost the use of everything, it is truly frustrating to say the least. Hopefully if enough of us complain they will upgrade their software soon!

I'm posting here to follow this conversation. I have upgraded 2 out of 3 Mac's to Catalina. I'm waiting to do the last Mac for an upgrade to Print Shop 4. It's the last app that needs an update. They have know about this change for quite some time so I don't understand why they weren't prepared for this. I too would gladly pay for an upgrade that works.

I'm going to give it a try too. They have a free trial version. I'm probably luckier than others in that I don't have a huge number of existing Print Shop files to worry about, so it'll be easy for me to switch to something else.

Just to add since I need to vent somewhere. I'm now in the process of restoring a 60,000+ photo Photos library that got corrupted with the upgrade to Catalina. Not to mention a perfect storm of Time Machine losing a year of backups today. Not sure how, as I had accessed Time Machine yesterday and restored an old file.

Fortunately, I'm restoring from iCloud Photos and I think I'll have everything back to normal once it downloads everything. But this could've been a very sad day for me and a lesson for having multiple backups, as Time Machine can be unreliable.

For those on an older version of macOS, it's probably better to stay there. I see nothing in Catalina (now that I've upgraded) that makes it worth the hassle or risk. Just a lot of wasted time.
