How To Impose and Print Printer Spreads in QuarkXPress

Written by Antonea Nabors | 18 June 2010

QuarkXPress documents are in a format called reader spreads. Meaning, the front cover is the first page with the back cover being the last page. At times a format called Printers Spreads, where the first page is output with the last page, is required for final output. This is also useful when trying to build a composite with your laser printer. This will demonstrate how to use Imposer to create a duplexed comp with your laser printer.

QuarkXPress How-To: Making Web Pages

Written by Antonea Nabors | 18 June 2010

When choosing an application to make pages for the World Wide Web, QuarkXPress may not leap to mind. But Web features added in QuarkXPress 5 make this page-layout program a good choice for designers looking for a painless transition to Web design.

There are numerous ways to produce Web sites these days. Some are created using online services that provide templates; other sites are created using highly technical Web-authoring and programming software. What you use all depends on the type of site you need and your level of expertise as a webmaster or Web designer. If you don't need a Web site on the level of eBay.com and you think Java is just another name for coffee, you'll probably have a more enjoyable experience making the transition into Web design using QuarkXPress 5, which has the capability to produce pretty decent Web pages, like the one shown in Figure 1.
