When setting up jobs in Quark XPress, please do not use "Master Pages"
to create your artwork. Instead, copy and paste any repeating elements
on your document pages. Jobs that utilize the Master Page cannot be
properly stepped and repeated without pulling the individual elements.
If Master Pages are used, we ask that you copy the elements from your
Master Page and reposition them on the individual pages.
Include all linked graphic files. If you send a Quark file
that contains a logo, graphic, or any other placed images, you should
send the image file along with the Quark file. The Quark file refers
to the information in the graphic file to print the image properly
at high resolution. These files can be conveniently collected using
the Collect for Output command under the File menu. Unfortunately,
the Collect for Output command does not collect the fonts used by
the job.
Use the Picture Usage
utility to find the most current status of the document's links.
Modified links must be updated and missing links must be located.
Double-check the links in your Quark file using the Picture Usage
utility. If the Quark document and graphic files are not in the same
folder/directory, the links may be broken. Before sending your files,
use the Picture Usage utility to update modified images and
locate missing images. If you make changes to the graphic files after
saving the Quark file, we ask that you go back into the Quark document
and resave the link.
When selecting fonts to create your artwork, select the font from
the font list rather than using the control bar to add effects. This
will allow for better font organization and assure proper printing.

Please include all printer
and screen fonts used by both the document and the placed images.
