There are sono bugs > > Good but there are some limits with the Perpetual version. That After 2 years look as Simply dont run ----- ### "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. ----- ### "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. ----- ### "Rating QuarkXPress" — 4.0/5 > **Julia** | *15 December 2025* | Graphic Design | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: I've used QuarkXPress for years and am comfortable with it, especially when there are upgrades. I've been creating magazine layouts for over twenty years and find this program to be well suited for that. > > **Cons**: Working in QuarkXPress I've always found there to be issues with font programs and QuarkXpress. There seems to be a lack of compatibility . > > Overall, I like working in QuarkXPress. II've been using it for about 20 years now. Tt works well with bringing in images and creating magazine layouts. My only issue has always been with using font programs that never seem to work smoothly with QuarkXPress. ----- ### "User friendly" — 5.0/5 > **Patsy** | *15 December 2025* | Media Production | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: The staff enjoy how easy it is to use. Every upgrade has been worthwhile and we're pleased with the program. > > **Cons**: Clipping paths and background transparency could be more advanced. Every man and his dog can drop out a background now and it would be good to integrate that into image placement. > > A positive experience and we as a business have chosen to stay with Quark when offered the option to use InDesign instead. ----- 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
