open-in-new
<h2 id="reception">Reception</h2> <p>Print Magic was universally praised for its ease of use, versatility and high-quality graphics, especially compared to contemporary offerings. Duncan Teague of <i><a href="/facts/Compute!/CXvNGgQL">Compute!</a></i> gave the program a favorable review saying, "<i>Print Magic</i> provides solutions to nearly every drawback you've encountered with other printing programs... With its ease of use, intuitive interface, exquisite graphics and text, and superior documentation, Print Magic delivers a fine performance."<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:10" href="#fn:10"><sup>10</sup></a> Peter Staek of <i>Apple2000</i> said it "combines the virtues of versatility and easy operation," and, "it is a splendid alternative (or complement) to Print Shop".<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:11" href="#fn:11"><sup>11</sup></a> The only criticisms of the program were that it only allowed printing in black and white and that a fairly new ribbon should be used when printing.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:12" href="#fn:12"><sup>12</sup></a> </p> <h2 id="legacy">Legacy</h2> <p>Print Magic was later incorporated into another Epyx product, Studio of Greetings. Studio of Greetings used Print Magic as its engine to create a variety of greeting cards for any occasion. Released in 1992, Studio of Greetings was available only for MS-DOS.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:13" href="#fn:13"><sup>13</sup></a> </p> <h2 id="references">References</h2> <ol> <li id="fn:1"><p>Teague, Duncan (May 1988).
