X-Ray Magazine was first launched as a printed format in 1995, focused entirely on the implementation of QuarkXPress XTensions by creative professionals in the publishing workflow. The magazine was put on hiatus late in 1996. Cyndie Shaffstall acquired X-Ray Magazine in 1998 and returned it to print in 2004 as a vehicle to support the launch of QuarkXPress 7. In November 2007, X-Ray Magazine became an online-only publication and continues as such today. The content of the magazine is no longer limited to QuarkXPress XTensions, though a strong focus on extensible technology prevails.
