For edit book also illustrated > > **Cons**: The full versione witout the service Is very low. Need Always a internet connection. There are sono bugs > > Good but there are some limits with the Perpetual version. That After 2 years look as Simply dont run ----- ### "Long Lasting Reliability" — 5.0/5 > **Ara** | *15 December 2025* | Graphic Design | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: I’m a “Quark Lifer” since the late 80’s. It’s my go to create pages easily\! The technology has always kept up with the best of the best tools to create amazing documents, posters, books and an array of marketing materials. > > **Cons**: Only thing that comes to mind, is the common issue with any technology, not long enough support for older versions of their software. > > Quark Xpress is clearly excellence in product capabilities. For me, as a designer I had over 36 years of experience . They were there in the transition period from hand-cut Ruby Lift “Print Ready” boards. Each page numbered and laid out-with the little registration marks for multiple ink color separations. I remember stacks of boards to create simple newsletters and booklets to letterhead designs. Those were the days where typesetter’s-were crucial for a designers like me. Especially if you wanted the latest font options. Very memorable times, lol\! ----- ### "I'd be lost without QuarkXPress" — 5.0/5 > **Robin** | *23 June 2022* | Graphic Design | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: QuarkXPress is a very elegant and intuitive software to use for layout. I especially like the ability to create templates, master pages and style sheets when creating multi-page documents. Integrating graphic images and type management are a breeze. Conversion for commercial printing is so easy. I've completed everything from a small postcard to a 350 page coffee table book. > > **Cons**: I have no complaints with QuarkXPress, but have heard other complain about how difficult it is to learn. However, if the user is willing to spend a little time with the tutorials, they will find it very easy to use. > > As a graphic designer, I have been using QuarkXPress since 1990. I used it exclusively for layout for decades until I had to learn InDesign for a few of my clients. I still use it on a daily basis. ----- ### "Great Software" — 5.0/5 > **Janet** | *2 January 2026* | Printing | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: I have used Quark Xpress since the beginning it's just got better and better, some of the new features picture editing, font changes etc.. make my job a lot easier. It's easy to use, good value for money and customer service is excellent, if I've ever had a problem it's been solved quickly - in an easy and friendly manner. > > **Cons**: The colour dropper I cannot use, I'm probably doing it wrong and have never asked how to do it correctly but definitely baffles me. > > Very good, I'll never change using this, it's easy, great for all type of graphic design and the added picture features makes it a whole lot more. ----- ### "Great software for all your design needs" — 4.0/5 > **gordon bruce** | *15 December 2025* | Graphic Design | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: I'm easily able to create anything from large projects such as annual reports, magazines, museum exhibits and packaging to small items such as flyers, business cards and social media ads. > > **Cons**: I would rather buy the software and not rent it yearly. Adobe does the same thing so you're not alone with this criticism. > > Overall, the usability is quite smooth, very rarely crashes and produces great results. I've been using quark for over 30 years and the current version is the best. ----- Page: 1 / 9\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.co.uk/software/218476/quarkxpress?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.co.uk/software/218476/quarkxpress) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | | fr | | ----- ## Structured Data
