Quark XPress is quite easy to use once you get used to its particular way of manipulating images and text, Quark XPress has established itself over the years as the printing industry preferred format.

Quark XPress is a page layout package and it assumes that you have prepared long sections of text elsewhere, in a word processor, and prepared your images in a bitmap editing package like Adobe Photoshop.

Any maps, diagrams or graphs should be prepared in a vector illustration program like Adobe Illustrator. There are certain ways that images should be saved in these programs if Quark XPress is used for commercial printing.

The Quark XPress Training course is suitable for:
Delegates who will be using Quark XPress to produce a range of documents for either in-house or commercial printing using an external printing company and have little or no knowledge of producing material for commercial output by printing companies. Terms like bleeds, Pantone colour, separations and eps files will soon become clear as will the "resolution" that is required for scanned images to print correctly.

What the Quark XPress course aims to provide:
The course aims to enable delegates to gain an understanding of how the program works and to be confident to start to produce newsletters, product leaflets, adverts, posters and sales material for either internal use or for commercial printing.
