FlightCheck Turns 30

Print Solutions

Founded in 1992 and headquartered in Dayton, Nevada, Markzware is a trusted leader in desktop publishing (DTP) file conversion, document previewing, and preflight technologies.

In 1995, the company launched FlightCheck, a r solution that empowered creatives to catch costly print errors before they reached press. For three decades, FlightCheck has safeguarded projects and preserved design integrity across publishing platforms – saving the industry vast sums in wasted reprints, corrections, and production delays.

‘FlightCheck has always been about protecting creatives from costly file errors,’ said Patrick Marchese, founder of Markzware. ‘Thirty years later, it remains the trusted safeguard against printing disasters.’

He continued, ‘Reaching 30 years with FlightCheck is just the beginning. As creative workflows evolve, we are building AI powered tools that deliver structured data and connect seamlessly with modern publishing applications like Canva. From designers and marketers to educators and enterprise teams, FlightCheck ensures files stay accurate and press ready – and the future of preflight will be even faster, smarter, and more connected.’

In honor of its 30th anniversary, Markzware is offering 30% off new purchases of FlightCheck software through to October 31, 2025. This special, limited time promotion celebrates three decades of delivering professional prepress solutions to the creative, printing, and publishing communities.

The current version works seamlessly with Adobe InDesign, Illustrator, Photoshop, PDFs, and QuarkXPress files, and operates as a complete standalone application with no external dependencies or plug-ins required. FlightCheck analyses fonts, colours, and images, then provides detailed reports and packages colours, fonts, and images for a clean file handoff to the printers.
