It's still basically the Quark of old which I loved. I like that I can use it across more platforms now. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I miss "Command M." I also miss the cool borders Quark used to have. Some of the icons are confusing which makes it difficult to figure out. I also miss the Format. Indent is very difficult to find. It's like the more changes Quark makes, the more user friendly things they take away. I was just put pretty much out of business for a month while Quark was trying to catch up with OS Big Sur. They kept telling me the update would be ready two days later then three days later then ten days later. Cost me a lot of money sitting around waiting for them to get it together. I ended up muddling through a few things with InDesign but it was a learn as you go so it wasn't very effective for me. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Quark has good support. I bought into the advantage plan and they are there for you when you need it, and they are qualified. I started out with QX, and I work alone with no need to share files, and they have always upgraded with the trends, so why switch. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

That it is not as mainstream as InDesign. it is a definite requirement to know InDesign if I want to obtain new freelance clients but I have no need to. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

QuarkXPress 20230 is the easiest way possible to create a website.

This means that, for the first time, you can go straight from your print design using your brand and your fonts and colours, to fully functioning, clean web content.

Quark have been developing the advancements in print design to digital since 2016 to stay well ahead of the competition. They have built their own PDF engine which does away with the need for another application to make PDFs and the ability to manage and edit PDFs on screen is a godsend.

Plus easy export to PDF, EOS, Android and seamless integrations with print document to digital is simply amazing. A Quark user since the old 4.1 version, I'm glad I stuck with the programme throughout. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Not publicised enough in comparison with Adobe products, for me QuarkXPress was, and still is, the leading industry standard for design, make-up and book production straight from a print document to digital.

The Advantage package means free updates for the length of the package, and always owning the software is a big plus compared to leasing or renting, but expensive to sign up to. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Better usability than InDesign, but only up to version 2017 Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Since version 2018, the removal of the pop-ups for "Character Attributes", "Formatting Attributes" and "Modify" (Ctrl D, Ctrl F, and Ctrl M), since Quark 2018, and their replacement with a ribbon that is a disaster. That is the main problem. but I can refer several more, much less importants: --With Quark 2017, problems when working with layers (ghost layers). Quark 2020 solves that problem, but I don't work with Quark 2020, due to the lack of the pop-ups I mentioned. --Quark does not save the layout of my windows. It should be possible to set which window layout Quark documents open by default --Quark's cell tables are infinitely worse than InDesign's Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Quark gives you precise control over text, images, shapes, colour, opacity, and it's compatible with a wide range of file formats, allowing you to always find a way to convert to what require. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I honestly can't think of anything I don't like ☺️ Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

QuarkXPress is now the easiest way to create a website—far easier than wading through endless WordPress templates, or going on Wix or other template-based sites. This means that, for the first time, you can go straight from your print using your brand and your fonts and colours, to fully functioning, clean web content without intermediate steps.

This is in addition to the industry-leading print and design features, which Quark has been aggressively developing since 2016 to stay well ahead of the competition. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

QuarkXPress is less known than it used to be, and dramatically less known than it deserves to be. It needs a higher social media profile. I am now regularly seeing people who are asking how to convert Quark files into that other package, because they have large legacy libraries. They are discovering that the costs of conversion are dramatically more than any savings they might have made. Sometimes it's best to stick with the best package for the job, rather than going with a subscription-based bundle that can't open your files. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It has a consistent user interface, and it moves smoothly from layout to print prep. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Small things like changing a font size to fit the box have space for, and adjusting the typeface to work from italics to bold, etc. I want it to make it easier to edit photos. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Ease of use considering the tools and it is fast even on an older computer. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I would like to see API access to macOS dictionaries, Metal, CoreData and CoreImage, etc. built in. no need to use 3rd party plugins

I am a graduate student and I would also like to see a scientific library plugin to automate reference creation to the resources, ie, Turabian, Chicago, MLA. For instance: Papers, Readcube, etc. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I have been a dedicated QuarkXPress user since 2003. I had to learn the platform for my job as a graphic artist and have been a power user since QuarkXPress5. In addition to my current use of the platform to complete research papers and build curriculum, I've designed hundreds of marketing and sales flyers for companies across the globe. In my industry, the go-to has become Adobe InDesign, but I still prefer Quark for single page to multiple page documents. It is more user friendly, and easier to teach to new artists. For me, it is faster to layout a newspaper in Quark. I really like that Quark is now a cloud-based product. It will allow the company to push out updates and improvements in a more timely fashion.

There really isn't anything that I dislike about the platform. It can be intimidating for a new user, but that is true with any robust software. I do recommend the use of a tutor for a new user. There are many short cuts and preference tweaks that can be made to create a better user experience. QuarkXPress is very versatile and can be used from single page formats to complicated multiple page magazines and newspapers. I do not have much experience using the platform to design webpages.
