PrintMaster 10 review
A template-rich choice for household print projects, with fewer verified pro layout controls.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
PrintMaster 10 is desktop publishing software for creating greeting cards, invitations, brochures, banners, calendars, business cards, newsletters, signs, and other personal or business print projects. It is designed for people who want ready-made starting points alongside straightforward page composition, rather than a highly specialized professional publishing workflow. Windows and macOS support make it suitable for households and small businesses working across those desktop platforms. Its one-time license costs $49.99, and personal and family installation options are available through Encore’s online store.
The product’s strongest area is breadth for template-led work. The published feature set includes more than 6,500 ready-made templates, drag-and-drop page layout, photo editing and effects, custom fonts, text effects, shapes, page and object locking, and calendar creation and management. Mail merge with a built-in address book supports repeated or personalized print pieces, while QR code generation adds a practical option for invitations, flyers, and business materials. Export to PDF, JPG, and PNG covers common print and image workflows. iCloud project saving, plus integrations with iCloud Drive, iMessage, and Gmail, support a broader Apple-oriented workflow.
PrintMaster 10 is a sensible pick for users who value variety, accessible layout tools, and a single purchase for personal or small-business print projects. It is less suitable for buyers who need verified professional layout controls, advanced production features, or AI-assisted design. The software’s focus is practical desktop publishing across common formats, with templates doing much of the initial design work. Choose it when cards, brochures, newsletters, calendars, and similar projects are the priority; consider an alternative when precise professional composition is more important than template coverage.
