The New Print Shop came out in 1988 for Apple II and DOS, and improved on the original. Print Shop Deluxe, for Mac, DOS, and Windows, followed in 1993. Deluxe used a new all-graphical interface still found in Print Shop programs today and allowed for creation of calendars. Print Shop Deluxe Companion added new modules and graphics, and the Ensemble version combined The Print Shop, the Companion, and several graphics libraries on one CD.
Many new versions of The Print Shop followed, such as Ensemble II. Now over 20 years old, Print Shop still generates printed greeting cards, banners, and signs. It has kept with the times by offering new types of printed output, including CD and DVD labels and inserts, iPod skins, and photo book pages.
On January 15, 2010, a new version for the PC supporting Windows 7 titled The Print Shop 2.0 was released, published by Encore, Inc.. This version is not backwards compatible and has been poorly received. It is published in Standard, Deluxe, and Professional variants.
To address Windows 7 support for pre-2.0 projects, an incremental release to the old line, The Print Shop Version 23.1 was released in July 2010.
For Mac OS X, the most recent version is 2.0, developed and published by Software MacKiev.

Famous quotes containing the words print and/or shop:
“Who should come to my lodge this morning but a true Homeric or Paphlagonian man,—he had so suitable and poetic a name that I am sorry I cannot print it here,—a Canadian, a woodchopper and post-maker, who can hole fifty posts in a day, who made his last supper on a woodchuck which his dog caught.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“A good customer should not change his shop, nor a good shop change its customers.”
—Chinese proverb.
