SANTA ANA, California. – July 19, 2005— Markzware is the leading developer of print quality control for digital files used in the global graphic arts and printing industries. Markzware is pleased to announce the immediate availability of a feature-rich update to FlightCheck. This free update is available for both FlightCheck Professional and FlightCheck Designer for Macintosh and Windows platforms.
Markzware’s FlightCheck patented preflighting technology has been saving users millions of dollars since its inception to the market in 1995. The popularity of preflight PDF standards and multiple shorter-run digital printing jobs have contributed to the increased importance of properly prepared files.
FlightCheck users realize increased profitability by having a print quality control check at the beginning, middle and end of the production process. The application includes checks for a plethora of layout applications and digital files of many types, with the ability to check over 250 various items.
This release of Markzware FlightCheck 5.6 now expands and improves the solution in several areas. In addition to compatibility upgrades for Macintosh OS X Tiger and QuarkXPress 6.5, FlightCheck‘s new enhancements are:
- Brand new Ground Control for detecting embedded fonts in native files
- Improved accuracy for reading Illustrator CS EPS files
- Improved support for fonts activated through Extensis Suitcase
- Detection of Pantone colorized text for both InDesign and QuarkXPress
- Detection of boxes with a ‘Content Of None’ in QuarkXPress
In addition, there have been over 25 customer reported problems that have been fixed and optimized in this free update. FlightCheck Professional v.5.6 is available free of charge to registered users of FlightCheck Professional v5.5. The upgrade from v4.5-5.4 is $199. The MSRP for Markzware FlightCheck Professional is $499. For more information on Markzware’s printing solutions, please visit the Products page.
