- Flattening: Users can specify resolutions for different types of objects, specifically vector graphics, drop shadows, and blends.
- Color Management Module (CMM): QuarkXPress 7.2 supports Kodak's new CMM that adds Black Point Compensation. QuarkXPress 7 continues to support different CMMs that offer users a robust set of choices and cross-platform compatibility.
