The masks can be used in QuarkXPress as a way of creating quick and easy maps. Each of the masks for a map can be laid one on top of the other (use “Step and Repeat” with zero values in the offset fields).
To apply two colors to a single mask, use the Style menu (“Color“) for the mask contents and the Item menu (“Modify…”) for the background color.
To apply colors to multiple masks which are stacked one on top of the other, make sure that the background color for all of the items (except the bottom layer) is set to “None.” Apply a box rule to the top layer only. When you have completed your map save it in a new XPress library for future use (“New” > “Library…” from the “File” menu).
