USER REVIEW
“What I love most is the increased capability of converting print layouts to digital layouts (and vice versa). This, together with Quark’s unmatched typographic control and the new OpenType functionality, gives me complete flexibility to produce high-quality designs for both print and online publications.” 5/5
– Julie Foster Beta Tester, FosterHough freelance design and production, UK
