BIRMINGHAM (Ipex 2006) - April 10, 2006
Quark Inc. today announced that Techno Design, a Dutch development company specialising in software solutions for the print, publishing, and document-creation industry, has migrated its Information Publishing Management (IPM) web-to-print solution to run on the Quark® Dynamic Document Server (QuarkDDS®) technology platform. QuarkDDS is a server-composition engine based on QuarkXPress® that enables users to build dynamic, richly designed documents and create, edit, and view native QuarkXPress documents in a Web browser.

"QuarkDDS continues to gain a wide adoption in a range of industries, from global brand-management in advertising agencies to personalisation in the direct-marketing space," said Serena Brinkman, Quark partner manager, Northern Europe. "Techno Design is another strong partner with a focused product for printers. We look forward to supporting them as they look to bring IPM Entry to printers across Europe."

"We're delighted with the move to QuarkDDS," said Frank Lambour, sales manager at Techno Design. "QuarkDDS gives us significantly improved performance for previewing, rendering documents, and creating PDFs. The fact that the composition engine is based on QuarkXPress means that our customers can take all of their existing QuarkXPress documents, as well as years of investment and experience, and leverage this in IPM."

IPM Entry, the entry-level version of IPM, is the latest development in digital-printing technology. It enables print service providers to optimise workflows so that customers use a simple Web-browser interface to create, edit, preview, and order print materials directly from a printer. This out-of-the-box solution improves the efficiency of creating and ordering printed documents and has the potential to enable printers to attract new business and expand offerings to existing clients.
