More importantly this looks to be a feature-packed update and it’s clear that Quark realises exactly what needs to be done.
With today’s announcement of QuarkXPress 9 coming only a few months after 8.5, it’s clear that Quark is very aware of the need for speed. Firstly it offered almost no new power, second it implied that the launch of version 9 was some way off, and third it looked like Quark was squandering a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to get back at market leader, InDesign.īased on a press briefing introducing the new QuarkXPress 9, my main concerns have been answered – at least partly. When Quark announced the launch of the free QuarkXPress 8.5 release, I was seriously unimpressed.
