For those of us who work with type, such as graphic artists, publishing professionals or interface designers, accumulating a large collection of fonts is just the cost of doing business. How many times, though, have you had to install a font just to see what it looked like, only to find that it's not what you wanted? When you work with a lot of fonts, this repeated installation and removal process really takes its toll on your productivity!
Printer's Apprentice is the perfect tool to help you organize and manage your font collection! With Printer's Apprentice, you'll be able to browse, preview, and print fonts without installing them! You don't even need to copy the fonts to your hard drive - Printer's Apprentice is able to read the files directly from any storage device, such as a USB flash drive. To help you visualize how fonts will look on printed paper, the program can organize them using nine different sample sheets and eight different catalogs.
Printer's Apprentice works with all TrueType, Adobe Type 1, and OpenType fonts, and you can view every character of every font, plus see how the font looks in paragraph form - you can even compare different font paragraphs. If you do decide to install a font to your system, Printer's Apprentice allows you to intelligently install fonts with greater flexibility than you ever had with Windows Control Panel! Even better, you can assign fonts to groups, giving you the power to install and uninstall batches of fonts at once.
With full support for Windows 10, 8, 7, Vista and XP, you’ll find the intuitive Windows Explorer-style interface instantly familiar, and the toolbar ensures that you'll have easy one-button access to all of your favorite Printer's Apprentice features!

- “I manage the graphics department of a busy print shop. If not for Printer's Apprentice, handling the fonts for dozens of customer supplied projects daily would be an insane task. With PA I can quickly install, uninstall, and group by customer. It's priceless.”- Greg Batchelor, McCabe's Printing Group, Fairfax, VAhttp://www.mccabesprinting.com/

The software is amazing you just made my job picking fonts for clients and me 100 times better and easier. This is with out a doubt software that everyone needs.”- Paul Pack, Wolf N Cub Productions
- “I've been using Printers Apprentice 8.0 for organizing my fonts for awhile. Being a student of graphic design, I have a considerable collection of fonts (over 1800), and I find that PA8 manages my substantial font collection with ease. The program's clean interface and fast load time make dealing with fonts a pleasant experience. I find the "comparative font" mode is just one of the convenient features that make PA8 such a joy to use. Also, when it comes to uninstalling a font, PA8 does the an effective job. I don't know about other people, but having Windows Vista, doesn't always allow other font managers to do this uninstallation at all. All and all, I find Printer's Apprentice to be well worth the purchase price, and I am continually impressed with the consistent version update improvements.”- Bud Lesh
- “I just wanted to let you know what an awesome piece of software you have designed! I am in the sign business and use it for font comparisons and for printing font samples for customers. The software has done everything I have needed and more! The support which means as much as the programs ability to perform goes above and beyond my expectations. Any questions I have had were answered promptly and the fact that you are constantly making additions to the softwares ability is great. Thanks for a great piece of software! Sorry I haven't been able to give you as much input lately but I have been kind of slow.”- Everette Bowen, Signs of Dixiehttp://www.signsofdixie.com/
- “As a graphic designer, I find Printers Apprentice a valuable tool in seeing, easily and quickly, how different words appear in different typefaces. I can then load relevant fonts for the duration of a project.”- Michael Cooper
- “As a scrap booker, Printer's Apprentice is an invaluable tool for me to manager my almost 2000 fonts. Because I can organize the fonts into groups, it is easy to find a font specific to an occasion, holiday, activity or particular look. For example, if I want a font appropriate for a birthday page, all I do is go to the birthday group folder and select the one I like. Or if I want a font that incorporates a floral theme, I can go to that folder. You can name and organize the groups to suit your needs. Printer's Apprentice is a time saver for anyone who maintains a large font inventory.”- Irene
