Recensioni su QuarkXPress

Il migliore

Commenti: Utilizzo Quark da quando ho iniziato la mia carriera nella prestampa. Non lo cambierei mai.

Aspetti positivi:

La completa stabilità del programma. Inoltre ci sono sempre migliorie al software.

Aspetti negativi:

Mi piacerebbe riuscisse a creare piu oggetti vettoriali.

Il miglior software di impaginazione

Commenti: Lo utilizzo da 30 anni. Lo ritengo il miglior software per impaginare i giornali

Aspetti positivi:

L'ho sempre amato per l'estrema facilità di utilizzo grazie ai comandi da tastiera ed alla barra degli strumenti completa ed intuitiva. La creazione e la gestione dei documenti, soprattutto giornali, magazine etc è molto più dinamica del collega Indesign

Aspetti negativi:

Sempre un passo indietro sulla versione di pdf che genera. A volte è un problema gestire questi pdf

I wish it were like it used to be, simple...reliable...the best.

Commenti: Good sleep, less stress, a peaceful work week..... Oh I thought you said benefits from using this software.

Aspetti positivi:

First, their customer support for this product is incredible. Hands down some of the best people working with this company, and knowledgable. There is also an online community behind this software that is wonderful and can usually get you where you want to go if you need help. Also the facebook group continues to grow and thrive and the company is pretty involved with keeping the quark world up to date on progress and resources. Ok the software is pretty wonderful and through the years we continue to choose Quark for book/media publishing over other products that we use more frequently day to day with other media because Quark just has always gotten the job done and done well. That still is the case for a couple specific purposes, like brochure and booklet printing, we use Quark for because most of the tools throughout the years have remained the same. And they make simple what other products cause hair-loss over. Quark not being a subscription based media creation software is the bee's knees!! And the ability and power of all the software can do for the price is pretty great!!

Aspetti negativi:

Over the years, they have tried to do too much in too little of time to compete but they have failed short. In the past Quark was an incredible software and the value was through the roof, but sadly that is not the case anymore. Focusing on becoming a software for producing cross-platform media and new media has taken away from their bread and butter of being the go to software for book and print media publishing over the years. The tools available, advancements and attention to their original staples of print publishing have lacked. PDFs are an area serious attention needs to be given, without having to purchase or use 3rd party integrations. Yearly updates should not have to be purchased or at least discounted much more significantly, especially considering the incompatibility of working between different years of Quark. Saving to a previous version is a must, that I which would come back, without expensive 3rd party software.

Versatile Desktop Publishing Program

Commenti: Overall, QuarkXPress is relatively easy to learn but does not offer the handholding of strictly user-oriented software. I've used Quark since the mid-90s when it was a DOS-based package, and we printed a 32-page monthly children's publication. Quark is a standard program for commercial use and has few competitors. I've used virtually every version since Quark's DOS days. I've published POD books up to 600 pages with Quark.

Aspetti positivi:

Easy to create a print book that looks as professional as the ones from major publishing houses.

Aspetti negativi:

When you do a File Save As, Quark continues to use the original file instead of switching to the new file you saved, as all other document processing software does. For example, assume you've created a "template" file that is the basic starting point of some common output. You do a File Save As to MyNewBook, but the focus remains on the Template. If you don't remember to open MyNewBook, your changes end up in the original Template file instead of MyNewBook. It's not a show-stopper, but it's annoying at times after realizing all of the changes are in the original starting file and not the one you created.

Quark for more than 25 years

Commenti: Great! We've been using it for over 25 years...!

Aspetti positivi:

Ease of use. They have to be careful not to make it too complex. No traditional layout and web design mixed together in one program. We only want Quark for print. (Advertisements, flyers, magazines, house styles etc. etc.)

Aspetti negativi:

The high annual prices compared to comparable programs.

Quark is bittersweet but can’t compete with Indesign

Commenti: I’ve used quarkxpress for over ten years, longer than any other single piece of software. I converted to indesign kicking and screaming because of how different the workflow was because I was so picky. If you’re just starting out, I’d suggest you look at indesign. If you’re picking up someone else’s work, you can almost everything indesign can do quark can do too.

Aspetti positivi:

After Apple’s Pages application, it is the easiest and simplest major print design software out there that you can use fairly intuitively if you’ve used a computer graphics program before. Just watching some tutorials online you can easily edit other people’s work fairly easily without much training. The second best feature of quark is the powerful xtentions that exist out there on the market. Other programs had this too but quark was the first to do this. Xtentions really streamlined and automated a lot of repetitive design tasks like updating prices and phone numbers (xcatalog).

Aspetti negativi:

It lacks full transparency gradients and doesn’t have adequate photo layering capabilities like opacities and layer modes. It also lacks a wysiwyg font menu so you can’t see they style of the font you’re using until you select it and enter some type. Quark is also a bit unstable at times. Prone to crashes.

QuarkXpress the Best

Commenti: Great desktop designer tool that has always delivered for my graphics company.

Aspetti positivi:

Having used QuarkXpress for over 30 years, it has always been my go to application. Have used on designs for many publications, stationery sets and numerous graphics projects! Easy to use and always gets results!

Aspetti negativi:

Difficult to say but creating pdf’s were a problem but I think that has been resolved.

Old-timer in prepress industry with interactive make-up

Commenti: In general I am satisfied. It works very stabile. Output - pdf output - is perfect for prepress, HTML5 site of publication is excellent and work as soon as you drop it on ftp server.

Aspetti positivi:

If you work on book, or you need HTML5 or android/iPhone version of your publication, without additional costs, choose QuarkXPress. In one program you can do everything you need to satisfy your publishing needs. But, if you need more "artistic" look of your publication, Adobe and Affinity suites, even Corel, are better solutions.

Aspetti negativi:

It is slow as slow as you hardisk, not your CPU or graphic card. QuarkXPress use too many time more hd than memory cache. Second "least" is price, and it cost too much, and there are no upgrade for 50% or more offs.

Alternative considerate: CorelDRAW

Perché scegliere QuarkXPress: Indesign became too pricely, and I switch... after few years, Quark price politics are not good, and I switch again - to Affinity suite.

Perché passare a QuarkXPress: Adobe was too pricely. Cores was too slow, and cannot handle documents with great number of pages, and we than choose QuarkXPress.

Why I Love QuarkXpress.

Commenti: I have used QuarkXpress since sometime, in the 1990's where I ran a desktop publishing business, at that time I used it so much, I starting teaching Quark, Now that I am over 85 I found it very very useful for the many things I still do, there is nothing I can't do in QuarkXpress, it is such a wonderful program. I was able to help publish three hard cover books for a friend. Thank you QuarkXpress.

Aspetti positivi:

That I was able to resolve all my issues, I found them very helpful, and your support service was supper great.

Aspetti negativi:

After discussing my problem, I was told that their was a mistake with my subscription which would expire soon, I than asked to speak with a supervisor, after a discussion we were able to work it out.

best desktop publishing app

Commenti: QuarkXPress is the best desktop publishing tool. Overall experience is very good as compared to others.

Aspetti positivi:

QuarkXPress is the best tool for desktop publishing among all other available tools. Also it provides many more features like phouo editing. It is easy to use as compared to others.

Aspetti negativi:

As of now I didn't find any issues in QuarkXpress

Good Program

Commenti: I've been using QuarkXPress for 20 years. It's always been a user-friendly program and meets my needs.

Aspetti positivi:

Easy to use for graphic design and layout.

Aspetti negativi:

The cost of the subscription is too much

Excellent product - excellent value

Aspetti positivi:

Very easy to use, have been a QUuark user since 1990

Aspetti negativi:

Nothing bad to report. Prefer Quark over InDesign as InDesign is not user friendly.

Best layout designing software

Commenti: Best. Overall better experience using the application.

Aspetti positivi:

Everything. Best design software right now.

Aspetti negativi:

There is no con as per my understanding.

I've used this product for years and love the ease of designing with it.

Commenti: I can create my design projects just the way I want them to be because it offers many options and is easy to use.

Aspetti positivi:

The many options it offers for layout, working with type and images. I love the Collect for Output, get's everything in one place. Resizing pages when needed, the gradations, the HTML options are great. I have found Quark much easier to use than InDesign.

Aspetti negativi:

I'd have to say the cost, it's expensive for a stand-alone product. Because of the high price I am very slow to upgrade to newer version. Which makes for a bigger learning curve when I do upgrade.

I'd be lost without QuarkXPress

Commenti: As a graphic designer, I have been using QuarkXPress since 1990. I used it exclusively for layout for decades until I had to learn InDesign for a few of my clients. I still use it on a daily basis.

Aspetti positivi:

QuarkXPress is a very elegant and intuitive software to use for layout. I especially like the ability to create templates, master pages and style sheets when creating multi-page documents. Integrating graphic images and type management are a breeze. Conversion for commercial printing is so easy. I've completed everything from a small postcard to a 350 page coffee table book.

Aspetti negativi:

I have no complaints with QuarkXPress, but have heard other complain about how difficult it is to learn. However, if the user is willing to spend a little time with the tutorials, they will find it very easy to use.

QuarkXPress

Commenti: QuarkXPress is a great product. I would recommend it to anyone working in the creative field. It can be use for print and digital design. I use the product to create advertisements, collateral, packaging, flyers, success stories, white papers, guides, spec sheets, interactive PDFs, and so on.

Aspetti positivi:

Easy to use. Has lots of features. Integrates well with Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator. Love that you can create digital and interactive files.

Aspetti negativi:

Some features are hard to find. Would like to see more training available.

Great to Use for Marketing Materials!

Aspetti positivi:

I used this software regularly at my previous job, and really enjoyed it. I was able to create beautiful advertisements for print, fairly easily. I was able to teach myself how to use it also. When it comes to design software, this is user friendly.

Aspetti negativi:

It is kind of outdated. These days, people tend to look for Adobe software proficiency. It is a great stepping stone to Adobe.

QuarkXPress Review

Commenti: It's a software that most magazines, newspapers, and publications use to package their content.

Aspetti positivi:

The software has tools that are simple to use when one designs news pages, magazines, and other graphics. it allows one to show creativity in order to come up with eye-catching designs.

Aspetti negativi:

The lasso tools are rather difficult to use and can be improved.

If Quark were a man, I'd marry him.

Commenti: I have used Quark for everything from business card design to websites. I especially like using it for layout on coffee table books.

Aspetti positivi:

I love everything about QuarkXPress. I've been using Quark since 1990 and also taught Quark for a few years. There is an elegance to the way Quark works that is missing in other page layout software. It was set up by graphic designers for graphic designers. Even though I own Adobe Creative Suite, I prefer to use Quark for print and web projects.

Aspetti negativi:

There is nothing that I dislike about Quark. Even if I run into a snag or problem I am able to find a solution easily with the Quark HELP feature or on their website.

A great way to build pages for newspaper production

Commenti: It's the best program for page production, bar none.

Aspetti positivi:

Quark is a great way to put together newspaper pages. It's easy to design award-winning, sharp pages, and I have won multiple industry awards using Quark. There are so many useful functions that assist the page builder, and it's a fast program once all the nuances are learned.

Aspetti negativi:

Very few cons, maybe the most being that it tends to crash occasionally. But sometimes it crashes more on different computers, so it may not be a total problem with the program.

Quark is fine, but InDesign is better

Commenti: I use Quark occasionally, when a client only works in Quark. I find it feels antiquated compared to Adobe Creative Suite.

Aspetti positivi:

I don't really see any features that beat out InDesign. This used to be the industry standard, but less and less do my clients use Quark. Only in publishing and they are moving away from that.

Aspetti negativi:

It's not the standard and converting files to InDesign is not always seamless. Quark is outdated in my opinion.

QuarkXPress is great!

Aspetti positivi:

It's intuitive and easy to use. Even a beginner should be able to easily design in this once you have been using it for an hour or two. Even better, you don't need a subscription for it! I have used Quark and Adobe InDesign and prefer Quark.

Aspetti negativi:

I don't have any complaints, I think it's a matter of what you were trained on: Quark vs InDesign.

Quark

Commenti: I'm using Quark to easily output print jobs to our computer copier.

Aspetti positivi:

I can output my jobs easily and effectively using the step and repeat and convert to pdf options. It's also fast.

Aspetti negativi:

I least like that it starts up slower than usual for older versions of the software. I also am not too cool with it not having the mail merge option

Great Software for any kind of Publishing!

Commenti: Good! Highly recomend for anyone publishing on a regualar basis. Software is easy to use if you have used other professional publishing software.

Aspetti positivi:

QuarkXPress is very easy to use if you have used Adobe InDesign or CorelDraw. The user interface has a good flow and everything can be spreadout with multiple monitors. Using it for publishing booklets was easy and the printer had no issues with the files.

Aspetti negativi:

Costs are a lttle steap for what I use it for. Would like more customization of the user interface. Overall no cons that would deter from considering for those that publish to the web or print on a regular basis.

Good software for an someone who is not a graphic designer

Aspetti positivi:

Easy design software for someone who is not necessarily a graphic designer by trade. This software is easy to teach yourself to use.

Aspetti negativi:

Not as advanced as some of the other software programs out there. Some of the tools are harder to maneuver around.
