Quark Print Collection

Quark today announced its new Quark Print Collection, a comprehensive set of prepress tools for QuarkXPress 7 and Adobe Acrobat 7. Quark Print Collection enables the creation of fully imposed, press-ready files. It includes Quark Imposer for QuarkXPress, Quark Imposer for Adobe Acrobat, Quark MarkIt, and Quark Item Marks. Based on technology originally developed by A Lowly Apprentice Production (ALAP, previously acquired by Quark), the tools can create fully imposed press-ready files. The Quark Print Collection enables users to preview imposed pages to ensure quality and prevent waste and save imposition and registration settings as reusable styles (for sharing with other users). Users can impose native QuarkXPress layouts using QuarkXPress 7 or PDF files using Adobe Acrobat 7: pages can be imposed in 2-up, 4-up, 6-up, and 8-up layouts and users can choose from among a variety of binding and imposition types and control settings for bleed, creep, and crossover. The company says that the original source files are never affected. It will be available by the end of the month for $300 and requires Mac OS X 10.4 or later and QuarkXpress 7.01 and/or Acrobat 7.
