#QUARKXPRESS TECHNICAL SUPPORT FOR MAC#

We can't wait to take a look at it compared to InDesign. We should be using Quark in a minute or two now.

We download the software which takes a while.At the successful purchase page we're given a link to download the QuarkXPress 9 installers (this is actually Quark 9.5.0.0, ~850MB in size).To buy something you need to create a user account (#1) so we create this and make the purchase (this part, the part where the company takes your money, is unsurprisingly really easy).Quark currently has a special offer on at the moment where you can upgrade from any previous version of QuarkXPress but it's only available online from the Quark store so we click on the offer link which redirects us to the Quark UK online store (as we're in the UK).And now they are atrocious… The Quark Saga This really happened - it's so bad we're not sure you'll believe us…Ģ0 years ago Quark were bad. This journey was so awful we just had to document it hence this blog post.

We dug out our legitimate copy of QuarkXPress 4 and started on our journey.

#QUARKXPRESS TECHNICAL SUPPORT FOR MAC#

With the need to look at and test alternatives we attempted to buy, install and update QuarkXPress 9 for Mac taking advantage of a Quark offer to upgrade from any previous version. We have many clients using Adobe products and many of those will abandon Adobe. One of the alternatives to InDesign is QuarkXPress. However, in the light of recent Adobe shenanigans with their move to subscription only software many people will be looking at alternative software products. When Adobe finally killed PageMaker and introduced InDesign it was so bad it was painful but it was less pain then Quark so almost everyone jumped ship (as usual, Quark didn't help themselves by not having an OS X version of Quark available for ages). Quark have been around for a long time and back in the 90s they were the king of Desktop Publishing (DTP) software albeit they were a nightmare company to deal with and they abused their users in so many ways.
