Pat Marchese, founder and CEO of Santa Ana, Calif.-based Markzware Software, said this release brings not only significant additional application support but also expands image and prepress batch processing capabilities for users.

FlightCheck Workflow is now compatible with both MS Windows and Macintosh platforms. The suggested manufacturer's retail price for FlightCheck Workflow is $399. Markzware also offers FlightCheck Design and FlightCheck Workflow as a bundle for $499.
