My name is Kim and I'm a Quarkaholic.
Overall Satisfaction with QuarkXPress
I use QuarkXPress for all my design needs, from developing graphics for social media posts, sales collateral materials, posters, white paper PDFs, book and publication design, and more. Its page layout functionality is second to none and it grows better every day in terms of its ability to manipulate photos, text, etc (ie taking on more of the basic tasks of PhotoShop, for example).
Pros
- General graphic design
- Page Layout for magazines, newspapers, catalogs, etc.
- Outputting files to Amazon Kindle
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.
- Page layout
- Output functionality (jpg, pdf, tiff, eps, kindle, etc)
- Layer functionality, for outputting spot colors
- I could not run my business without this program as part of my tech stack
InDesign is a fantastic program as well; I just prefer QuarkXPress because I better understand how it "thinks"/is programmed, due to years of working with it.
