One of the most painful parts of print production is discovering errors at the final output stage. QuarkXPress 7.0 introduced Quark Job Jackets to solve this problem at the source. Built on the JDF (Job Definition Format) standard, a Job Jacket is essentially a digital "rule book" for a print job. A printer can send a designer a Job Jacket file that contains all the output specifications: color settings, bleed requirements, resolution minimums, and font restrictions. As the designer works, XPress continuously pre-flights the document against these rules, flagging potential errors immediately, long before a costly RIP failure or reprint is needed.
