360 | A GUIDE TO QUARKXPRESS 2018
Output
Whether you want to print proof copies for review on a laser printer, or you need
fi
nal film or plate output on a high-resolution imagesetter or platesetter,
QuarkXPress will help you get satisfying results every time. QuarkXPress 9 ( and
later versions), no longer support host-based separations, but you can continue to
output using In-RIP separations or Composite output.
Printing layouts
In many publishing environments, you can print using a wide variety of output
devices, from desktop inkjet printers to office laser printers or even high-end
platesetters. The topics below explain how to print from QuarkXPress.
Updating picture paths
QuarkXPress uses high-resolution previews.When you print, high-resolution
information contained in the original picture files is accessed using paths to the
pictures.
A path to a picture is established when you import a picture. The application keeps
information about each picture’s path as well as when the picture was last modified.
If a picture is moved or changed after it is imported, the application warns you
when you execute the Output command (Print, PDF, EPS or Digital Outputs) or the
Collect for Output command (File menu).
If you keep your pictures in the same folder as the project, you will not have to

maintain picture paths. If you keep your pictures in the same folder as the article,
you will not have to maintain picture paths. The application can always “find”
pictures that are in the same folder as the document, whether or not the picture was
in that folder at the time it was imported.
