Here is a video demonstration of Markzware’s PUB2ID or Microsoft Publisher (MSPub) to Adobe InDesign conversion filter:

There is no demo for this popular conversion plugin, so this video is very useful. If you still are not sure, you can submit a test file for conversion by the Markzware technical support staff. There is also this video testimonial from a PUB2ID user (”worth every dime!”) and more (They were amazed!)!

Nothing worse than getting in a file type you prefer not to work with-
Have a great day.

Markzware has added a YouTube Stream or interactive network for prepress operators and printers via YouTube where everyone can watch, learn, comment and generally share information in real-time online! It is easy and sort of fun (very fast). Here is a short video on how it works, looks and feels:

We as Markzware set up one for Printers and Prepress operators here:

Come join us, watch videos and discuss in real-time with other printers! You can also add in your favorite videos and get feedback from other peers in graphic communications. We video captured some of the discussions from early today, and it was quite neat and useful. More coming on that later…

A few days ago I posted this little blog piece titled, “Printers on Twitter” about how there was a lack of printers and prepress folks on this popular micro-blogging site, in comparison to the number of graphic designers. We got a reply from a 25-year print-shop owner (newspapers, books & magazines) whom asked:

“Boy am I out of touch on Twitter! I do have a profile but I was unaware that you could create a page like Yagottaprint.com. How do I do this? Can I impose on you for advice in utilizing Twitter?”
Printer of Books and Magazines

The answer can be seen in this, the first of a several part video tutorial by Markzware on how printers and people working in print-media can get involved with Twitter.com, actively get into the community and benefit from this exercise in the form of real-hard-business. This is an excellent resource for showing how print industry members can participate in social networking.

Doing design, publishing and print trade shows is a lot of fun. Throw in a video camera and industry personalities walking around and it is a blast! Sandee Cohen (Vectorbabe.com), industry trainer, designer and InDesign author, comments on her personal experience with Markzware’s Q2ID or QuarkXPress to Adobe InDesign conversion tool. I have to admit, her glowing remarks were above and beyond what I figured would be relative praise. Check it out (Full transcribed text below):

“And what was more fascinating was, I had that page one which I had done on my own to do as a comparison and I have to tell you Q2ID did a better job than me and I do InDesign.” – Sandee Cohen
