Using a Template from PrintShopPacks.com

In The Print Shop 4.0, a small store section has been added to the product which allows you to purchase additional content.  This is called the Template store which will redirect you to http://printshoppacks.com.

These templates are similar to Ready-Made projects and they give you an overview of how a project will look.  However many of these templates also include additional art pieces or embellishments in order to add extra things to your project.

Previews of the template packs can be hidden or shown by clicking on the arrow above the words Template Store on the right side of the design desk.

It's important to note that in the template store there are both Free and Paid template packs.

Free Templates are usually samples of the artist's work and come with less objects inside the project.  These Projects are labeled with a Free tag in the lower right corner of the preview.

NOTE:  All of the templates available in the Ready-Made Project Gallery are free.

Paid Templates are collections of art, backgrounds, and other items which fit well together on a project.  These often come with multiple pages and a lot of extra art to be used on your project.  The cost of these templates are labeled in the lower right corner with their price.
