FlexScale User Guide Version 4.1

What FlexScale Does…

FlexScale allows a QuarkXPress document to be scaled during output to a PostScript printer. This allows for corrected output for flexography without altering the document. The vertical and horizontal scaling per- centages are independent and can range from 50% to 150%.

Printing with FlexScale

FlexScale allows scaled output from QuarkXPress to a PostScript printer and appears as a tab in the QuarkXPress Print dialog. This allows for corrected output for flexography without altering the document.

Enter the desired scaling percentages.

The scaling percentages do not have to be identical. However, they must be between 50% and 150% and can include one decimal place. FlexScale works with PostScript output devices only.

Set other print options and click Print.

FlexScale is simply another set of available options for printing to a PostScript device. Other software and hardware options may be used along with FlexScale.
