Why Markzware Is Afraid of InPreflight?

We just learned that Markzware registered the domain inpreflight-dot-com three days after the first public beta of InPreflight^™ was released. And humbly redirected it to their own site. It was on October 20, 2006. Why would such an established and well known company as Markzware employ such cheap and low business tactics? Did creators of FlightCheck want to snitch a few clicks from Zevrix - which was in business for less than a year back then? Or did they realize that InPreflight will quickly become the preflight software of choice for InDesign users - and wanted to be a part of this success (albeit in a strange way)? Whatever the reasons are, we're flattered by these actions of Markzware. It's just another evidence that InPreflight has been delivering an exceptional preflight solution to its users from the very beginning - and it's always nice to have one.

Features Overview

PREFLIGHT

Quickly check document's fonts, colors and links. InPreflight on average is 2 - 10 times faster than FlightCheck.
Sort preflight results by any attribute.

Links
Get extensive info on links attributes such as kind, size, effective resolution, color, fonts and many others (see detailed list here).
Reveal link attributes otherwise unavailable in InDesign, such as TIFF compression and embedded fonts.
Warn about "forbidden" names and locations. For example, warn about links which are not located in the folder "Hi-Res", or whose name contains "_random".
Open links in their default application, show in InDesign and reveal in Finder.
Colors
List color space (CMYK/RGB/Lab), model (Process/Spot), value and used status.
List unnamed colors.
Check document for Registration color used in text.
Fonts
Check font type, status and PDF embedding permissions.
Update fonts status as you activate them in the system.

PREFLIGHT PRESETS

Create preflight presets to various job types to check your documents for specific attributes. For example, create different presets for newspapers and magazines which will warn you about links whose resolution is lower than 200 and 300 dpi respectively.
Reassess preflight results with different presets instantly without the need to re-preflight your document.

PACKAGING

Automate packaging of multiple documents with the option to collect them all in one folder or separately.
InPreflight can collect all files into one folder, so you don't need to collect the same links multiple times for each design. This can save you gigabytes of space and hours of production time when collecting InDesign files that share the same linked images.
You can also choose to collect each file separately - InPreflight will automatically create separate folder for each document and collect there all required elements.
Add extra files and folders not directly related to the document to package with the document automatically.
Collect links into the same folder as the original document - InDesign will always find the links automatically when you send the job to your service provider or move it to another volume.
Tell InPreflight to open the collected documents and folders automatically so you don't have to chase them in the Finder.
InPreflight can ask you to choose the destination folder for your collected jobs every time you package the documents or daily.
