Print Artist Platinum 27 review
A template-rich desktop publisher for personal and small-organization print projects.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
Print Artist Platinum 27 is desktop publishing software for creating greeting cards, banners, business cards, postcards, newsletters, calendars, photo projects and other printable materials. It is aimed at home users, schools, clubs, organizations and small businesses that want guided design tools rather than a narrowly focused professional publishing workflow. The product combines project templates with graphics, fonts, text and drawing tools, photo editing, printing controls and export options. Version 27 is available as separate Windows and macOS products.
Its main strength is breadth for template-led work. The single Print Artist Platinum 27 plan includes 28,000+ professionally designed templates, 377,000+ graphics and 1,000+ premium fonts, giving users a large starting library for common print projects. AI image generation from text descriptions, text effects, curved and wave text, spell checking, camera import and a layers palette add flexibility beyond simple template editing. Address Book and mail merge tools also support projects that require personalized names or addresses. Two-sided printing and banner tiling extend the software to larger or more structured print jobs.
Pricing is straightforward: the plan costs $99.99 as a one-time purchase, with no free plan. Export includes PDF, JPEG, animated GIF and MP4, while integrations include Email, Facebook and YouTube. The main trade-off is fit: the product does not provide collaboration features, and its documented feature set is less suited to publishers who need advanced prepress control, master-page workflows, professional color management or EPUB output. Choose Print Artist Platinum 27 for template-heavy personal, educational or small-business projects on Windows or macOS; choose an alternative when collaborative production or professional publishing controls are central.
