Has anyone ever heard of it(Design Suite Print Shop Pro) and do you recommend it for t-shirts. I just bought it and I don't think it's working that well. It came with a version of CorelDraw12 and couple other things but should I get something else like Paint Shop Pro Photo? I can;t seem to find anything else but Paint Shop Pro Photo at a resonable price. Is there another version other than photo?
I think that software is more for desktop publishing (newsletters, flyers, etc)

That would work better for t-shirt design.

I've used Paint Shop Pro Photo for designing t-shirts. It's less expensive, and doesn't do some of the fancy stuff of other software, but it can get the job done most times if you know what you're doing.
If it came with corel 12 then you are in business you just need to learn the program. What sort of media are you designing tshirts on? Screen Printing? Transfer?
Corel 12 will get you started for any of the above... but you need to learn the program. You can get started with basics at Learning @ Your Own Pace® - lynda.com or Online software tutorials, training CDs from vtc.com at a cost of $30 a month for their training programs. Then move up from the software training too industry specific training with the same software.
