An Introduction to Markzware in 2024

Founded in 1992, and based in Nevada USA, Markzware is the producer of a number of high-end file conversion software products. Renowned for being a company that values user feedback – their product line has been carefully engineered to meet – and in many cases exceed – user requirements. Quality file conversion tools such as Q2ID (now QXPMarkz), save time by enabling users to convert QuarkXPress docs in Adobe InDesign without having to recreate them from scratch. At the time of writing, Markzware’s current offerings are:

• FlightCheck 
• QXPMarkz
• IDMarkz
• PDFMarkz
• OmniMarkz

What is FlightCheck?

Use Flightcheck to thoroughly inspect and analyze images, fonts, colors, and more in multiple desktop publishing file formats with this next-generation, preflight quality control tool for MacOS. What’s more, FlightCheck is a standalone application and as such does not require any external apps for the software to function. Customize preflight reporting with company info and logo and then export as HTML, TXT, RTF, XML, or JSON, into automated workflows.
