Just want to let you know how much fun I am having with your product. Last April our Boy Scout Troop was planning an American Flag Swap (people could bring flags that needed to be retired and could purchase a new flag). We needed to publized this. I tried different poster programs and it made me hate software and printers even more than I do at times. Then I found your program, I downloaded the trial version one two three I had a great poster and it printed out QUICKLY, unlike the other programs. So I was happy.
Then I was blessed with a new office for my business, besides being on a main street with a large front window, it also has a good sized side window that oncoming traffic cannot miss seeing. Since July, I have changed the sign in the window 4 times, the first played on the fact that I am in an area surrounded by antique stores: "Does your body feel like an antique? Come in today for restoration!" The latest announces that Holiday Gift Certificates are available, along with my phone number and web info. You can even see one of the sign at my websight www.GeorgetownMassage.com the picture of the store front, the window on the right in blue --- I change the paper color as I change the message. Months of adds in the local paper could not give me better publicity than I get with my posters! Thanks for making such a great and easy to use product. !

POSTER's smooth enlargements, font stretching and special effects make it unparalleled to anything I have seen." Nick Smith, reviewer for Rocket Download.
"I wanted to thank you for a great poster program. I've been making medical posters for hospitals for many years and used a variety of "banner" programs. Most were limited and did not let me customize the way I needed to. Two weeks ago I was in the midst of creating 5 posters, I was thrilled to find your program. It saved tons of time!" Karen Green, 12/99.  
"I just want to tell you how great POSTER is. I don't know how the resolution is always so good and consistent, but for what I do, it outdoes Paintshop Pro almost every time... -much appreciation for a great, and fairly-priced product." Rich Williams. 5/01.
"I am a huge fan of your poster software.  as a muralist, I find it the best software on the market." Dawn DeBaugh 03/02.
