The Print Shop 4
The Print Shop 4 is a desktop publishing and card design application from MacKiev, used for creating and printing custom cards, invitations, labels, calendars, newsletters and other printed materials. It offers templates for common designs, image editing tools, text formatting, clip art libraries and direct printing to home or network printers. The app targets casual and small-business users who want to produce professional-looking printed materials without specialist design software.

1 suggestionThe Print Shop 4 was updated by MacKiev to a 64-bit compatible version to support Catalina and later macOS releases, meaning it no longer relies on 32-bit libraries. However, we found no evidence that this version or any later release includes a native Apple Silicon build. The app currently runs under Rosetta 2 on M-series Macs. Since Apple is removing Rosetta 2 in macOS 28 (September 2028), you should contact MacKiev directly to ask whether a native Apple Silicon build is planned. If the vendor confirms no native build is in development, consider moving your workflow to actively maintained alternatives with confirmed Apple Silicon support, such as Affinity Publisher (a professional page-layout tool), Canva (free online design service that runs natively via web), or Card Shop Pro if you find a direct equivalent in the Mac App Store ecosystem. We recommend reaching out to MacKiev's support first to understand their roadmap before September 2028.
