1. Was there ever a color version of "The Print Shop" available for the Commodore 8-bit family of computers?

I don't believe so. I used to work for a Commodore reseller back in the
and I don't recall there being a color printer option for the C64.priced
There probably were color printers at the time, but they would have been
far above what a C64 user could have paid.
So there would have been no demand for a C64 color Print Shop.

Hello, and IIRC there was a C-64 color printer that used 4 ballpoint
pens. Don't know what commercially-available apps might have been
available that would use it, though. Sincerely,
Yeah, well, as J.B. Wood just said, even if you had a color /printer,/
you couldn't really use it to its full potential on an 8-bit Commodore machine, as there wasn't any /software/ that printed in color. No, I
think the best bet would have been an Apple II series machine, or else
an "IBM-compatible" PC. On the other hand, a Commodore enthusiast
would have to wait a little while for the Amiga series to show up. In
that case, what was the best software for color printing on an Amiga?
