Testimonial:
I have used many Markzware products over the years: Flightcheck Designer; Pub2ID; Q2ID; Markztools; Pict Attributes XT; PM2Q. There’s a reason I keep coming back and why I’ve purchased and recommended so many of their products, they simply work, which helps to make my work more simple. Even as we’ve progressed from one design program to another, dropping some along the way, Markzware’s products have always helped us, no matter which professional design program we use. Even their discontinued products are still useful for us. PM2Q still allows us to extract embedded files at full resolution from legacy PageMaker files when InDesign’s built-in conversion of PageMaker results in low resolution embedded files. It’s features like that in all their programs that make Markzware one of my favorite go-to companies for problem solving programs, Xtensions and Plug-ins.  Read more...

I love the look, feel and ease-of-use to PrintMedia Management’s new eZine.

They print a lovely periodical as well, but the digital version supplements the print edition very nicely. For instance in this case, for on page 12 you can read about Markzware’s MarkzTools 8 and PasteBoard 8 for QuarkXPress 8!

…my hero! (sigh)!

I remember working side-by-side with a friend of mine a number of years ago. We were both working separately on portions of a large catalog, using QuarkXPress. Intermittently we would chat, but both of us pretty much were lost in our own worlds, putting together our respective portions of the document. Then — out of nowhere — comes this sound the likes of which I never care to hear again. [more]
