Sam --
I've never used Hyperglaze so can't compare, but
GlazeMaster does have functions to calculate triaxial,
line, Currie Grids and quadraxial blends.
The print function you mention is one I've never
gotten from GlazeMaster (but then again I've never
tried -- I do see how it's advantageous to reduce
paper waste, but I often use bits of paper for various
things in the studio so I'm kind of careless about
conservation in that area). It does sound useful.
Best wishes -- Steve Slatin

Hi Lou-
I give Hyperglaze 2 out of 2 thumbs up; I simply love this software.
I've been using it for over 6 years, and find it to be much better than
all of the competing programs, including Insight and GlazeMaster.
(sorry, John...) It does all of the normal data base/storage functions
with ease and elegance, but also has powerful triaxial and quadraxial
blend components. Included in the software is a well written
explanation of Unity Theory and detailed information about glaze
formulation.
What I like best about Hyperglaze is the ability to print a single
glaze or groups of glazes in several different ways. In the OS9
version, one could print up to 6 recipes on 1 page, which was ideal for
making lots of tests while conserving paper. I am actually having
trouble with the first OSX version getting this feature to work, but
hopefully Richard Burkett is addressing that with the first upgrade.
The $100 pricetag is a little bit staggering, but is par for course
these days. I'm willing to bet there is a 30 guarantee on the
software, so I'd recommend giving it a whirl. Let me know if you have
any questions about specific features...
