Chose QuarkXPress
QuarkXPress has more user-friendly features compared to Adobe InDesign where we can set up the page layout for any sort of medium. We can compress the pdf size here as per the requirement. Also, we can export pdf in a quicker manner by choosing it as a default output format.

Chose QuarkXPress
QuarkXPress simply blew the competition out of the water when it came to pricing and scalability in our business. Every employee that uses Quark always speaks very highly about using the software. We are not a large company but, the amount of money saved on the cost of each …

Chose QuarkXPress
My preference has always been QuarkXPress because I have more experience. InDesign is a similar program, just used differently for our journal layout design.

Chose QuarkXPress
InDesign is also very strong and the industry standard. However, Quark does retain:
1 The older format of page layout programs, which is a bridge for new and older employees.
2. Is less expensive.

If you are looking for a great design solution that does not break the bank then QuarkXPress is the way to go. We use Quark not only due to the low cost but, the customer support is amazing and every year you get a new release with updates that you never knew you needed. Quark's development team takes on suggestions and often will implement some of them if the need is great enough. I cannot express the saving of time and money enough when it comes to using QuarkXPress.

Cons

  • Currently does not have a way to open really old archived QuarkXPress files.
  • Text manipulation could be expanded upon (ie be able to warp or distort text).
  • Be able to output files in InDesign format.

This is an industry standard. It is intuitive and pretty simple. I have been using it for 40 years and by no means do I use its potential, rather it does just what I want it to do.
