As announced in Gofer It!, the CPrint® weekly newsletter, CPrinters should take advantage of the program to get a free copy of QuarkXpress and the additional support.
Quark has lost a great deal of market share over the years because of poor customer service and problems with PDF support. The special program should allow printers to take another look at the page layout software. Most printers should have a copy of QuarkXpress on hand to help provide support of designers who use the program.
There is a June deadline for joining the program. For more information and to apply, visit http://www.quarkalliance.com/
