### Most mentioned 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.
- 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.
- It lets me work with legacy fonts more easily than some other programs and ability to quickly and easily format text and move images to fit spaces is easy to do.

### Most mentioned cons

- That said, Quark has itself become bloated and has rearranged the menus and such - causing us to have to constantly re-learn how to do things that were once more straightforward. Despite the ways of the roving herds — I don't want to sit and give myself carpal tunnel click-clicking drop down menus when the old-style command-shift-F (e.g.) and a few tab keys to enter a value works with half the effort.
- However, using the software today, I need to often work around dozens of features that I don't need (and quite frankly don't understand) to complete my page layouts for print.
- I have experienced payment and billing errors, including an annual subscription not being renewed automatically, which created unnecessary disruptions.

### Quark is bittersweet but can’t compete with Indesign

- Overall rating: 3/5
- Reviewer: Russell K.
- Verified reviewer: Yes
- Industry: Banking
- Company size: 1001-5000 employees
- Product usage: 3-5 years · daily
- Reviewed: December 2018
- Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered

I’ve used quarkxpress for over ten years, longer than any other single piece of software. I converted to indesign kicking and screaming because of how different the workflow was because I was so picky. If you’re just starting out, I’d suggest you look at indesign. If you’re picking up someone else’s work, you can almost everything indesign can do quark can do too.

#### Ratings breakdown

- Ease of use: 4/5
- Value for money: 3/5
- Customer support: 2/5
- Functionality: 3/5

#### Pros

After Apple’s Pages application, it is the easiest and simplest major print design software out there that you can use fairly intuitively if you’ve used a computer graphics program before. Just watching some tutorials online you can easily edit other people’s work fairly easily without much training. The second best feature of quark is the powerful xtentions that exist out there on the market. Other programs had this too but quark was the first to do this. Xtentions really streamlined and automated a lot of repetitive design tasks like updating prices and phone numbers (xcatalog).

#### Cons

It lacks full transparency gradients and doesn’t have adequate photo layering capabilities like opacities and layer modes. It also lacks a wysiwyg font menu so you can’t see they style of the font you’re using until you select it and enter some type. Quark is also a bit unstable at times. Prone to crashes.
