Q2ID converts files for graphic arts jobs from QuarkXPress to InDesign CC or CS6. This shows just how far the graphic design industry has come since the trade first started. Read the Markzware Q2ID articles to see how you can convert QuarkXPress to InDesign CC and their popular Quark XTension and other graphic arts solutions.
