Print Design & Publishing:
 Over the past 25 years, millions of designers have used QuarkXPress  to produce advertising, brochures, magazines, books, catalogues, newspapers, and more. Why* Because QuarkXPress offers the ultimate in creativity, design control, and professional print output.
Spectacular Print Design:
QuarkXPress lets you turn your ideas into reality. It gives you precise control over text, images, shapes, colour, and opacity, and its compatible with a broad range of file formats. No design is too simple or too complex  and no page layout software gives you more control over design.
Professional Print Output:
 Great design, of course, is only half of the equation. The other half is output; the final printed piece has to match whats on the screen. To make sure that happens, QuarkXPress provides soft proofing features, comprehensive colour management, and support for international colour standards.
QuarkXPress also includes a built-in preflighting feature that can identify potential output issues early in the design process. When your layout is ready to go, easy-to-use presets for print-ready PDFs make sure output will go without a hitch.
