Update your ancient Quark on the cheap

by Megan Lavey-Heaton (Apr 13th, 2009)

Oh, QuarkXPress. My fondest Mac memories are tied in with you. It was one of the first programs I ever learned on the Mac. It was also the most frustrating piece of design software ever -- guaranteed to crash the computer at least once an hour, and don't even think about using the Auto Backup ...

by Robert Palmer (Aug 1st, 2008)

Love it or hate it (with the burning fire of a million angry suns), Quark yesterday released QuarkXPress 8, which features new tools for developing for the web, workspace enhancements, and refinements to tools to finally bring it into the 20th century. Steve Sande mentioned back in May that it was ...

Quark Inc. announced QuarkXPress 8 at the Drupa printing exhibition in Düsseldorf today, the latest version of the high-end design tool for Mac and Windows. Many of the changes to QuarkXPress are in the areas of user interface and workflow, which were criticized by many users after the ...

by Laurie A. Duncan (Nov 7th, 2006)

Quark users who upgraded to Quark 7 from Quark 4, 5 or 6 will no longer be denied the legal use of their prior versions after they've installed Quark 7.

Quark had two big announcements today. First up was QuarkXPress Server 7, which they'll be demoing this week in booth 4807 Graph Expo and Converting Expo in Chicago. Formerly known as Quark Dynamic Document Server (QuarkDDS), Server 7 incorporates all the new features of QuarkXpress 7, while ...

Paris Expo attendance down, but UK MacExpo promises large Apple booth

by Laurie A. Duncan (Oct 13th, 2006)

The Apple Expo in Paris this year saw a drop in attendance from about 56,000 attendees last year down to 46,000. The downward trend from the 2000 Expo, which saw 80,000 attendees is even more dramatic. Even with the drop, however, the Paris Apple Expo still boasts higher numbers than recent Macworld ...

Quark 7 goes Universal

by Dan Lurie (Aug 7th, 2006)

Despite some recent logo troubles and the move of design and ad agencies toward Adobe InDesign, Quark seems to be climbing out of the hole it dug itself with its disastrous transition to OS X. Today with version 7.1, QuarkXPress 7–first announced at MacWorld and released in May–became ...

An InDesign user reviews QuarkXpress 7

by Scott McNulty (Jun 22nd, 2006)

I know nothing about QuarkXpress or InDesign as I haven't ever even started up either application. I don't know anything about Photoshop either (shocking, no? I don't mean my ignorance, since I am sure you have all grown accustomed to that, rather I am speaking of the fact that I have never used a ...

QuarkXPpress 7 released, but not as a Universal

by David Chartier (May 23rd, 2006)

QuarkXPress 7 has hit the streets, but it oddly isn't a Universal Binary (Steve Jobs, if you remember, announced at January's Macworld event that Quark had a beta UB version available). A UB update to version 7 is reportedly going to be made available later this summer (I guess Adobe isn't the only ...

Quark rebrands, again

by Scott McNulty (Mar 20th, 2006)

I figure someone out there is still using Quark, so this may be of interest. Quark has changed their logo yet again. A little while ago they launched a large rebranding effort, only to find that someone else was already using the logo they had just adopted. Talk about awkward. Since Quark isn't a ...
