Quark XPress 7.0
Product Description
Amazing creativity combined with rock-solid productivity.
QuarkXPress is powerful design and page layout software with an intuitive,
versatile interface that lets you combine superior typography with color and
pictures to produce dynamic final output for print and Web delivery.
QuarkXPress is widely used by magazines, newspapers, advertising agencies
and design firms, marketers, printers, corporate publishers, catalog houses,
and book publishers.
Industry experts
are calling QuarkXPress 7 one of Quark's most significant upgrades ever.
With more than 160 new features and enhancements, QuarkXPress 7 cements
Quark's tradition of innovation by enabling a new way of working that
focuses on the layout, design, and production environments as a whole rather
than as separate processes.
Key Features
Smart
transparency
Use the precise controls in
QuarkXPress 7 to set the transparency of a frame, background, or a single
character at the color level with complete creative freedom — and without
employing time-consuming item-based workarounds or depending on third-party
applications or XTensions software.
Quark Job
Jackets technology
QuarkXPress 7 combines great design
with nearly error-free production through Job Jackets. Designs are no longer
in danger of being trapped on screen or altered at the last minute due to
production requirements. Based on the JDF standard, Job Jackets help ensure
that a print job adheres to specifications from the beginning of the
creative process to output.
Composition Zones technology
QuarkXPress 7 brings unprecedented
live collaboration to the desktop. With Composition Zones, more than one
person can work on a single layout at the same time. You can define a
portion of a page, a whole page, or even an entire layout as a Composition
Zones piece, and then export that piece as a separate project file. Other
users can then work on their zone as if it were a regular QuarkXPress
layout. The original layout is automatically updated when the file is saved. Enhanced
Measurements palette
QuarkXPress 7 has the most
streamlined interface of any layout tool on the market. The Measurements
palette has been enhanced to include almost all the core design
functionality in an easy-to-access palette. You can also group other
palettes and save preferred palette configurations.
Image-handling enhancements
QuarkXPress 7 provides more control
over images than any other application and easily integrates with
industry-standard industry file formats such as native Adobe Photoshop (.psd)
images. OpenType
and Unicode
With support for OpenType and
Unicode, QuarkXPress 7 users can apply advanced ligatures, alternate
characters, and extended character sets easily and reliably for
international documents and high-end typographic effects. PDF/X,
JDF, and PPML: New output formats
Gain the accuracy of a
start-to-finish PDF/X workflow for the promise of a problem-free, print
deliverable hand off. Rules can be built to check for PDF/X workflow from
the beginning of the design process. QuarkXPress 7 guides users on
compliance by supporting PDF/X-1a and PDF/X-3 with full reporting based on
industry-standard certification libraries. QuarkXPress 7 also supports
standardized personalization and one-to-one marketing through PPML. You can
merge multiple XML records into richly formatted output with customizable
settings for multiple PPML-ready print devices. Shared
content
Synchronize text and pictures so
that if changes are made in one place, the changes are reflected everywhere.
Edit an image, correct a typo, change a font, or reshape a box in one layout
and immediately changes ripple throughout the whole project. With
Composition Zones, you can create design elements for use across multiple
files or workstations, and automatic updates guarantee consistency. And with
Job Jackets, you can create a single project definition, including colors,
style sheets, and layout specifications, for use within a workgroup and
across projects.
Color
management
QuarkXPress 7 color management has
been redefined. There are more advanced options than ever before, but Color
Setups and Quark Job Jackets allow settings to be easily shared and
automatically updated and maintained among all users. Tables
enhancements
In QuarkXPress 7, table features
have been enhanced to support splitting tables, running headers and footers,
and transparency controls that extend to individual cells and borders. With
the QuarkXPress 7 tables features, you can easily combine text and graphics
and benefit from tight integration with Microsoft Excel for both design- and
content-driven grids.
