Brief History
This is a copy of The Print Shop software developed in 1984 by American software developer Broderbund Software Inc. This programme transformed how users could design and create posters, signs, cards and banners, which could then be printed on a Dot Matrix printer. Templates were provided within the programme, along with a library of clip art (or clipart) which are pre-made electronic images.
Noted on the disc envelope is 'Track error 2 and 34', along with the code to load the programme.
