The QuarkXPress XTension We Gave Away This Time

 
MadeToPrint XT QuarkXPress XTension from Axaio

MadeToPrint XT optimises and extends output and print options in QuarkXPress and has been designed for professional users, who have to create, organise and control larger numbers of print-/output jobs. MadeToPrint XT helps to streamline these tasks as well as the creation of PDF, EPS and PostScript files. The XTension allows even complex print settings to be saved as repetitive jobs, thereby ensuring efficient and safe production.

MadeToPrint XT 7 provides the same range of functionality as the XPress 6.5 version ­ features like batch processing, token-based file naming and flexible layer output go beyond Quark¹s output functionality. More than that, the XTension allows hotfolder based processing of XPress 7 files, thus enabling users to output QuarkXPress documents completely unattended.

At its simplest, MadeToPrint XT combines all the aspects of a given print job into a simple selectable item. These can include: the desired printer on the network, any special settings required for that device in the chooser, page setup, and print settings (including custom separation definitions and registration-mark text and placement). In addition, MadeToPrint XT allows for grouping of multiple print-job definitions into custom sets that can be invoked at any time to output the same document to multiple output devices, using the parameters specified for each device in its own print job. This means that with a single operation, a user can elect to have a document output to a black-and-white laser printer, a colour-proofing device, and a high-resolution imagesetter, and be assured that all settings in all dialogues are correct. Thus, MadeToPrint XT reduces media waste caused by improper settings of chooser selections, and allows for unattended output of QuarkXPress documents to any variety of formats.

Advantages - More output options and higher comfort - Extends print styles, adds styles for PDF and EPS export - Takes away the need to configure and double check output settings over and over again - Determine output settings once ­ use them over and over again - Minimises efforts for printing and file export - Create even single PostScript and PDF pages from within XPress documents

Features - Allows different EPS output settings to be saved as jobs - Processes PDF-, EPS- and PostScript single pages - Generates single pages not only per page but also per spread - Processes several jobs with one mouseclick - Generates file information on info bar on every side automatically - Makes dynamic file naming possible - Specifies copies and pages areas while executing print jobs - Can be automated with AutoPilot XT

Or, check out the MadeToPrint XT Auto version that guarantees fast and reliable output management by processing QuarkXPress files with hotfolder technology ­ self-acting, twenty-four-seven. ***Macintosh or Windows
