Quarkxman QuarkXPress

QuarkXPress is a flagship desktop publishing software launched in 1987 by Quark, Inc. Initially founded in Denver, Colorado by Tim Gill and Mark Pope, the brand revolutionized the printing industry alongside Aldus PageMaker. It provides a robust set of tools for layout design, typography, and digital publishing used by professional designers and publishing houses worldwide.

Over the decades, the ownership of the brand has transitioned as the software market evolved. After being a family-owned entity for many years, Quark was eventually acquired by private equity firms to modernize its tech stack and distribution models. Today, the brand is owned by the American software company Rocket Software, which acquired Quark in 2024 to bolster its digital transformation and content automation portfolio.
