A good PostScript laser printer costs as little as $299 (for example, the Brother HL-5370DWT) but a good inkjet printer costs the same or less. So why buy a laser printer?

Here are two reasons:

• Prints from a laser printer cost much less than from an inkjet prnter — only about 2¢ per page when you add up all the costs, including the printer and its toner. If you print a lot of black-and-white pages, this really adds up.
• If the laser printer includes PostScript (as the one above), your prints will look exactly as they will look when your files are printed on film or plates — even if they contain placed EPS files.

To save time when using Find/Change or Item Find/Change, Tips for Item Find/Change Tips for QuarkXPress 8, shrink your document window before performing the search.

That way, your computer only has to redraw a small area of your document each time it finds an occurrence, thus speeding up the display. Also, since the highlighted word appears in a smaller area of your page, you don’t have to work as hard to see it.

Bonus tip: to more easily see each occurrence, increase your view percentage before using Find/Change. This also has the benefit of reducing the number of items XPress has to display.
