Last Update 12 August, 2020 Hi everyone, As you may know, after a local community outbreak Auckland is back to Covid Level 3, at least until the end of this week, with the rest of New Zealand at Level 2.

And since announcing that Queensberry's production will be on hold for the duration we’ve had lots of people asking whether Print Shop will be available.

I've really been looking forward to multi-user login to Workspace. Well it's here and it's fantastic.
