I'm looking to buy one of those "greeting card" programs like Print Artist or PrintMaster for home use.
But being I'm going to buy one, I would like to have the ability to use the layouts/clipart in CorelDRAW (version 9) for some of our sublimation items.
Does anyone know if either of these programs will export to an .eps file for easy importing into CorelDRAW?

Isn't our own O.P. the PrintMaster poster child

Never had much use or luck with Print Master. Have had great success with Corel Gallery or other clip art purchased from Ebay. Often times, that stuff is not importable, or if it is, it is a mess! Print Master always locks up my computer. I finally deleted it.

I have both and they work great with corel. in printmaster just copy(right click) and paste from the preview window or save as. in print artist open your selected art and cut and paste to an open corel file. thats it

I give 2 thumbs down to printmaster gold. Someone sent me a file to print on the edge (photo from printmaster gold) and when I saved it into Corel to play with it broke the file up into a hundred or so tiny horizontal strips. AFter hours of fussing with it I finally went in and painstakingly hand moved every strip down to the next. The file looked fine when small but I was blowing it up for a large banner and even after all the work moving everything together it still left a couple of blank horizontal strips. I couldn't find those anywhere even at about 16K+ percent increase in file size, snooping around that picture like a PI.
Maybe the clip art stuff works for vinyl but pictures - forget it. Proprietary software.
Best of luck with whatever you pick,

I use print artist sometimes and the files convert nicely. I can cut and paste them into signlab. Sometimes they don't come through correctly, but a simple click on "close graphics" under the edit menu fixes them. All of their clipart is vector files.
