Page layout and customization
What do you dislike most about this product?
Maybe a little too many features?? I'm not sure that's possible, but it could be intimidating.

Simple but efficient

What differentiates QuarkXPress from other similar products?
I've used InDesign before, but it's been quite a few years ago. They were similar at what they do, but I just felt more at ease using Quark. It just seemed like things were simpler, kind of like everything was where it belonged.
What is your favorite aspect of this product?
I think it's an easy product to use and learn. I've taught a lot of people how to use it, and they catch on quickly.
What do you dislike most about this product?
Every once in a while, the program will crash or a file will become corrupt, but it's not a frequent problem.
What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?
Give it a try if you can. I have always like it better than alternative programs for the same things. There are a lot of shortcuts you can learn to save time.
Pros
- Helps Innovate
- Continually Improving Product
- Reliable

Quark is a very stable design and layout program!
Likeliness to Recommend
What differentiates QuarkXPress from other similar products?
Quark's export feature for PDF is actually more stable that the similar products for design/layout.
What is your favorite aspect of this product?
Quark allows for easier trapping and to see how things are trapping for printing, unlike its competitors.
What do you dislike most about this product?
I dislike that not much marketing has been done to compete with its main competitor. Would like to see a strong focus on universities/tradeschools relationship with Quark in future to develop a younger user base again.
What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?
I would tell them the product is more stable than the main competitor and builds better PDFs with less problems for output.
Pros
