Markzware Donates Software to Cal Poly

Markzware, a leading software publishing company, has donated licenses of a new software program to Cal Poly’s Graphic Communication Department. This will enable Cal Poly to upgrade its electronic printing and publishing laboratories.

Markzware donated 64 licenses of FlightCheck Professional Version 6, valued at $32,000. This is a prepress application used to manage quality control for print jobs. The solution provides both native file and PDF preflight checking. FlightCheck is designed for creative designers, prepress departments, customer service representatives and graphics professionals in the digital print and publishing industries.

The software helps prepare PDF and other documents for commercial printing. It helps save printers and publishers time and money by avoiding re-printing jobs.

“We use Markzware FlightCheck Pro to teach undergraduates about the complexities and requirements needed to prepare a job for print,” said Jon Sehmer, technician for the Graphic Communication Department’s electronic printing and publishing labs.
