QuarkXPress 3.3 Windows PC

We can accept QuarkXPress documents in their native format, providing all fonts and linked items are supplied. We do, however, prefer them in Postscript format, which is explained below. We can also process QuarkXPress documents in EPS format. This option can be found in the "File" menu under "Save page as EPS". In this format, we would also require all fonts used to be supplied.
