With QuarkXPress, you can communicate in all the ways you need to - and always look professional - in print and digital media, all in a single tool. Features include:
- Easy to Use - QuarkXPress is a powerful and full-featured tool that makes it easy to develop your ideas into gorgeous layouts.
- Powerful Design Tools - QuarkXPress provides an arsenal of design tools that let you turn even the most elaborate visions into reality.
- Precision Typography - Typography is an art form, and QuarkXPress provides the tools you need to create powerful works of typographical art. If you're a perfectionist, QuarkXPress provides all of the tools you need to reach perfection. If you're not, QuarkXPress provides presets and default behaviors that make your work look professional even when you're not paying attention to the details.
- Digital Publishing: Web, SWF (Flash®), e-books, and more - QuarkXPress provides a toolset that lets you design and publish for a variety of output formats - including the Web, smartphones, e-readers, and tablets - without having to learn a different skill set for each, learn to write code or program, or purchase additional software applications.
- Integration with other Applications - No application is an island. That's why QuarkXPress was designed from the beginning to work with files in a wide variety of formats.
- Layout Automation - QuarkXPress not only provides you with world-class layout tools - it provides you with automation tools that allow you to create top-end design quickly and efficiently.
- Reliable Print Output - The most gorgeous print layout in the world is no good if you can't print it. With over two decades of experience as the premiere tool for creating high-quality printed output, QuarkXPress has the tools you need to make sure that your layouts look the way you design them, both on the screen and on the press, without time-consuming troubleshooting and tweaking.
- Collaboration - Do you need to keep style and color definitions consistent within a workgroup? Would you like to be able to have more than one person working on a layout at the same time - even if they're in different locations? Would you like to be able to import an Excel spreadsheet, then automatically update the layout when the spreadsheet changes? QuarkXPress helps you to make sure that when you work with others, you're really working together.

Well that's big of them to support knockouts and overprints :eyeroll:
There is still no way to preview separations either, not that it's really relevant since QUARK NO LONGER TRAPS ON OUTPUT.
For professional print publishing, especially where transparency is involved, this is a deal breaker.

I've been using XPress since version 4. Darn good stuff.

Are you reading along Quark? The Euro version costs more than double the price of the US version just so I can set the application language and spelling to Dutch if I want.

We recommend Adobe Creative Suite to anyone who isn't "locked in" (read: old production people who are incapable/unwilling to learn today's production tools, old workflows that would cost too much to rebuild, etc.).

And why the heck would we care what you "recommend"? I've been using Quark since when it didn't have a number. Still doing good, fast, professional work on it. And yes, I've tried the others and can work on them - I'm both "willing" and "capable" of raising my rheumy old eyes from the screen and peering at the newer alternatives, when I'm not too busy dozing on the couch - but I prefer Quark, expensive and occasionally annoying though it is.
Why do you hang around a page for an app you clearly dislike so much? How is your comment helpful? Dissing longterm professionals isn't going to get you many friends - especially when your design credentials are non-existent.
Go away and do some work, on whatever app you choose. Leave this place for people who have useful evaluations to make.

The interface is quite mac-like -- I loathe clutter and bloated, needlessly complicated applications.
It has a very steep learning curve and it's too expensive at $800. On the other hand, I use it in combination with Bean, SketchBook and AutoCad LT and have successfully produced simple, (hopefully) elegant e-books.
Its tools are minimal but very flexible. Its conditional styles are a godsend, and it handles lists very neatly. I have even made use of the 'shaping' tool -- its nods to analytic geometry (sine curves? really?) are cheeky but appreciated.
I guess I'm lucky that I don't have any baggage with the program or the company. It's been very smooth sailing for me. I can't recommend the program enough, despite the price.

For anyone making money of his/her work, the price is well worth it.
This version is no exception. There is a learning curve, so this is not a useful app for amateurs who want to "be cool" and make their wedding invitations on a professional app.
Final thought; it stands on its own merits and feels quite a lot less bloated than the competition. I love Adobe, but they just don't make the best document layout app.

Quark on the other hand is a sharp fast tool that gets the job done fast.
Indesign is a mess that keeps getting messier. I cheekily suggest to Adobe that they have a search tool, just for the interface.
I do support on Apple's Pages website and there are stacks of people using Pages as a substitute, even though it is way less powerful, just because Indesign feels like you are dragging round a sack of coal whilst you are trying to design.
That is reflected in Adobe's own examples. Adobe used to have fine design examples now they simply look drab. That's not to say people don't produce magnificent work with Indesign, but why does it have to be so hard?

Curiously, this is exactly what I DO need and, in fact, am extremely excited to have this capability offered. Just because a major new feature does not fit YOUR needs, Hkim, does not mean the product is an "Epic fail". Indeed, I'd say the Epic fail in your comment lies elsewhere...

Quark also does web page layout. I would never use it for that, but these tools make it easy to repurpose print jobs to other platform.
Don't think for a minute that this isn't being done somewhere right now.

sudo update_prebinding -root / -force
then type your password when it asks and wait several minutes for it to finish. Don't touch the computer while it's working.
Hope this helps!
