SANTA ANA, California - Markzware, leading publisher of DTP and PDF conversion and printing solutions, announces FlightCheck^® 7.85 Mac. This pre press software can preflight print files and now has added support for QuarkXPress 2017 (version 13 of QuarkXPress).

FlightCheck is a stand-alone preflight solution that helps digital print and publishing professionals to check documents for printing quality during prepress. Markzware’s FlightCheck provides essential print quality control for both PDF and non-PDF files. It can also collect files, to package QuarkXPress 2017, or other files, into a folder for sharing.

“When it comes to preflighting, ... Markzware’s standalone Flightcheck goes further and more in-depth. … And because the software is standalone, it can actually preflight files from Illustrator, Photoshop and Acrobat, as well as other non-Adobe apps. Flightcheck can even postflight PDF files to make sure they are set up to produce the results you need. FlightCheck performs a robust set of checks to ensure that the output you create meets – or exceeds – your chosen qualifications for each facet of your document. In addition to checking for resolution and link issues, Flightcheck’s ground controls (preflight items) can check for color mismatches, oddities with gradients and patterns, ink percentages, and other issues that can crop up, whether you’re going to print or digital.”
