Agency did a Quark file on a Mac which turned out to look weird in Quark on a PC - although it was supposed to be the same. but if you layout a magazine in Quark on a PC and send PDF files for print it should be no problem

and regarding the learning curve.. well, if you have a basic knowledge about print and graphics Quark is pretty easy to handle. the proper handling of stylesheets is the most important part
