My brother is looking for a simple desktop publisher type system. He
wants to be able to print sales brochures, advertisements, labels and
posters for his shop. This requires large bold (up to 3/4" maybe?) type
and small (normal size) type and simple graphics capability. He also
needs layout control.
He is looking for something to replace the Print Master program he is
currently using. Print Master's drawbacks include a very limited
selection of page sizes ("poster" - full page; "greeting card" - 1/2
page; and a few other sizes. Its graphics are rather low resolution,
and it lacks the ability to print normal size text (he uses Print
Master to print the bold titles and graphics; then runs the paper
through the printer again using a word processor to print the normal
text). He also is not satisfied with its layout capabilities - he
would like something that is more interactive (mouse based?).
He is looking for something in the < $200 catagory to use on his
Sperry PC (XT compatible) with a 20M harddisk and Sperry (Epson)
printer.
Please reply to me if you have any experience with a suitable program.
I will post a summary of all replies.
Thanks for your help!
- Steve
