"Quarkxpress software clean and un bloated software. Great tool and intuitive interface."
5/5
What do you like best about QuarkXPress?

Clean and un bloated software. Great tool and intuitive interface. Not heavy on memory or cpu. Easy and quick responsive interface when constructing designs and page make up. also having font management build in is a big plus. Import of inDesign files is excellent especially if you have stopped using (paying perpetual licence) inDesign and are locked out of your design files Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"QuarkXpress -- uniquely powerful"
5/5
What do you like best about QuarkXPress?

I've used Quark for years to create employee benefit statements for client companies, large and small. Using the add-in software Xdata from EM Software, making these documents unique to every employee is easy and fast. I've also made sophisticated phone directories using it. One of the best parts about this system is Quark's printer driver -- it's so much faster than InDesign, it complies a complicated document and queues up two hundred individual documents in less than a minute.

What do you dislike about QuarkXPress?

The new black background. I liked the old one better. Sometimes seems to me they made changes just because "We've got to change something!" Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Quark Xpress is still the one"
4.5/5
What do you like best about QuarkXPress?

Everything that made Quark Xpress the original and best page layout program is still there. But they didn't rest on their laurels, they have regularly upgraded the product to find ways to continue to be useful and relevant. Despite everything that Adobe tries to throw at Quark, it is still a superior program for most of what we do. Whenever we're forced to use 'that other product' we cringe just a little.

What do you dislike about QuarkXPress?

Would it hurt so much to include document window tabs?! Working between multiple docs is still a pain... Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Still the same great program and a lot more...."
4.5/5
What do you like best about QuarkXPress?

There are quite a few new capabilities to explore but I upgraded from Quark 8 to Quark 2020 and amazingly it is still easy to use and feels familiar. I also really like the fact that Quark is not using a subscription model like Adobe and the program may be purchased. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about QuarkXPress?

Not much but it took me a while to figure out certain things. I called Quark and found what I needed to know. I think that the new visual imaging feature might be more robust and the controls more obvious. I would also like to have more PDF editing and processing ability within the program if that would be possible. (I know it's an Adobe program...) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The learning curve... for newbies, there is a learning curve... even for the seasoned Quark user, there are a lot of functionality and features that you may never truly uncover. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about QuarkXPress?

Converting documents form older Quark versions is no longer available and needs to new addressed. Great new features like Web design/layout but no useful tutorials which is needed. No point adding new features if they cannot be used to full extent. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
