    Variable Data Emails

    I reckon SAAS is the way to go to start with. If this really takes off for you then you could revisit an in house solution in the future. We use GMC and this will handle both print and email content but it does not come cheap...

    Aside from Skype...

    Never had trouble with Skype from a laptop but if you use a smartphone then you might experience drops in signal. If you really want an alternative then look at 'Go to meeting'.

    RGB to CMYK

    Ok...I'm no expert but I think you need to view your converted CMYK image in soft proofing mode to see how it might appear when printed. Otherwise you are looking at a RGB device doing an impersonation of a CMYK device whist allowing for a theoretical substrate...

    Adobe CC Alternative The CorelDRAW Graphics Suite X8

    Well Geozinger, I agree with you on almost everything you posted. I got started about the time of Quark 4. Now for what we need Quark 4 would still do the trick. By the time we got to Quark 7 we agreed to stop renewing our ten licenses. £10,000 is a lot to pay for a whole heap of ...

    Does anyone use Quark anymore?

    I still have Quark 8 on two Macs. Use it about three times a month. I have lots of old HP Smart Stream jobs that use the Quark plug in.
