 Belight Software for Mac, 2008-06-29
I have been very pleased so far with this software. I also purchased the Art Text. They are fairly easy to understand and have a lot of features to offer the user, for a reasonable fee.
I would recommend this product. You can download a free trial version on the Belight websight.

 Easy to use, great looking output. This is a winner., 2007-02-06
Ever since I switched to an operating system that doesn't hang, crash unexpectedly, or cause my peripherals to randomly stop working (Mac OS:X) my wife has hounded me to replace the one piece of the MicroSoft Office Suite that she used on a regular basis: Publisher.
With the advent of Printfolio I was finally able to do so for her. In fact, this OS:X native application not only works BETTER than Publisher ever did, but it is also natively intuitive. Publisher, because it was a third party software that was purchased by M$, had consistency problems. For example, context menus that were brought up by right clicking on objects were different than the rest of the Office Suite, and objects behaved differently than in other parts of the Suite as well.
Printfolio doesn't have these idiosyncrasies. In fact, within twenty minutes of taking it out of the box I had designed fantastic, professional-looking DOUBLE SIDED business cards using an imported photo, WITHOUT using a template (of which there are literally HUNDREDS to choose from.) It was so easy to use that I couldn't believe I was done so swiftly and went on to make my card look ridiculous because all of the tools are so easy to use. (Resist the temptation!)
So why only four stars? Well, the Printfolio comes with an extra CD-Rom which is 900MB of ClipArt. For some reason this would not install properly on my Powerbook. Installation would hang at 88% and then quit with an error message "Install Failed" and no other explanation.
So, the SOFTWARE seems to work admirably, but the EXTRAS failed. Since I purchased this specifically for the software and could care less about the ClipArt, this doesn't really affect me, but it might be a problem for you.
I strongly recommend this software for anyone looking to replace Publisher with the Macintosh.
