Markzware Inc. announces FlightCheck 2023 for macOS. This stand-alone preflight application previews, inspects, analyzes, and provides a complete Inventory Report, to ensure print-ready PDF and native files. FlightCheck is the prepress solution that enables companies to easily set up cost-efficient preflight workflow stations for quality print output. System requirements are macOS 10.13 or higher. A yearly subscription for FlightCheck is $/€ 249. Perpetual license is $/€ 399

Markzware’s intelligent preflight software detects what the human eye can’t, ensuring that document files are validated for print production, the company said. FlightCheck then collects and packages all required print elements, before sending, outputting, or archiving.

“Today’s print workflows have unique quality control demands. Creatives and prepress professionals will be glad to have Markzware’s dependable preflight solution, FlightCheck, in their ‘print production toolbox,” expressed Patrick Marchese, President, Markzware.

This application supports new photo image types, including WebP and HEIC formats. Job-stopping problems FlightCheck will reveal include:

  • Unsupported Pantone colors
  • Used Type 1 fonts
  • Image resolution that is too low (or too high)
  • Image scaling and rotation
  • Fonts that are NOTE Embedded

Markzware now provides five conveniently grouped Ground Controls (preflight profiles). These checks are customized for conditions that accommodate common print production workflows such as PDF, Page Layout, Vector, Graphic, and Image.
