"My Upgrade"

5/5

What do you like best about QuarkXPress?

I've used QuarkXpress for many years. Stuck in the past with QuarkXpress 7.31. I was experiencing some problems with my computer and once the bugs were fixed, I decided to upgrade to QuarkXpress 2020 and take advantage of the 25% discount offered. It's been a bit of a learning curve but I'm starting to feel very comfortable with the new look and features. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about QuarkXPress?

I haven't found anything that I dislike. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"The easiest and thus best graphic program"

5/5

What do you like best about QuarkXPress?

Easiness. The ability to load old Quark files and to continue work as if they were established this year. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about QuarkXPress?

Minor things. I.E. in a 75 page document, the last page is behind the command and I have to close or displace this to work on the page. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Revisiting an old friend"

2.5/5

What do you like best about QuarkXPress?

Quark handles type kerning quite well and all the tools are in a very logical arrangement Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about QuarkXPress?

It takes Quark forever to open a simple Quark file. It does not use the PDF presets I have created on my system and when you setup your menus using dual monitors it seems to forget all your choices the next time you launch the program. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering QuarkXPress:

Make program more stable, Fix the long delay in opening simple files and allow access to PDF presets Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is QuarkXPress solving and how is that benefiting you?

Thus far I would say I am not sure I made the right decision to uninstall Indesign on my system. Quark crashes a lot. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Quark is still relevant"

3.5/5

What do you like best about QuarkXPress?

Flex layout has great potential. The layout of control panels makes sense and has most of the features of InDesign. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about QuarkXPress?

I would like to see the Usage dialogue be a separate control panel for constant easy access. Navigating through windows to update a photo seems a bit clunky. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Quark is very customizable, there's no limit to what can be done Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There are quite a lot of things that you need to memorize (controls, commands, etc) to get the best out of it. Which could be a little challenging Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
