Quark, Inc.

Quark introduced its flagship software — QuarkXPress® — in 1987, delivering precision typography, layout, and color control to the desktop computer to change the way people publish around the world. By 1990, QuarkXPress 3 had become the software of choice for publishers worldwide. With the 1997 release of QuarkXPress 4, QuarkXPress quickly became the world’s most widely used professional page-layout software. More than five billion pages have been produced using QuarkXPress, and more than three million QuarkXPress users worldwide are benefiting from a new generation of rich design capabilities for print, Web, and interactive media.

Quark expanded on its publishing foundation in 1992 with Quark Publishing System®, introducing client/server-based publishing software to connect designers, writers, editors, and other contributors to the publishing process through collaborative workflows. The 2001 release of QuarkXPress Server ushered in a high-performance publishing engine that fused automation with professional design, helping organizations produce compelling communications across the Web and in automated publishing processes to produce high-impact catalogs, on-demand custom sales literature, localized advertisements, design-rich database publishing, personalized direct mail, and more.
