Press release from the issuing company

DAYTON, NEVADA — Markzware®, Inc., announces FlightCheck 2023 for macOS. This stand-alone preflight application previews, inspects, analyzes, and provides a complete Inventory Report, to ensure print-ready PDF and native files. FlightCheck is the prepress solution that enables companies to easily set up cost-efficient preflight workflow stations for quality print output.

Markzware’s intelligent preflight software detects what the human eye can’t, ensuring that document files are validated for print production. FlightCheck then collects and packages all required print elements, before sending, outputting, or archiving. “Today’s print workflows have unique quality control demands. Creatives and prepress professionals will be glad to have Markzware’s dependable preflight solution, FlightCheck, in their ‘print production toolbox,” expressed Patrick Marchese, President, Markzware.
