Quark Publishing System Classic

Manage workflow and streamline overall creative processes
from start to finish

How can you keep track of your workflow and all the elements — text, pictures, graphics, diagrams, and spreadsheets — that are used in the documents you generate? You can control and manage the creative process of your production environment, enhance communication, and ensure successful collaboration with Quark Publishing System® (QPS®) Classic. And don’t let the word “publishing” mislead you — every company in any industry — not just publishing — can benefit from having control over documents, files, information, and workflows.

“Quark Publishing System provides the power we need to streamline our workflow. Our editorial staff is able to use QuarkCopyDesk to correct and edit copy concurrent with our layout staff using QuarkXPress to create our layouts. QPS has helped our newspaper reduce production time while proving to be a package we can rely on during our deadlines.”

Brian Linden, Central Florida Future, Florida


Manage, control, and track all the files in your system

QuarkDispatch® is the database server component of QPS. This core module manages and maintains information about your unique environment, including metadata, workflow, preferences, users, privileges, versions, revisions, and more.

Streamline, track, and define demanding, collaborative workflows

QuarkDispatch Administrator is a core module that walks you through a step-by-step process to map your workgroup specifications. QuarkDispatch Administrator includes tools to configure the workflow, define users, specify privileges, establish revision control, implement routing procedures, and more.

Archive, delete, transfer, assign, and track files, projects, and assignments

QuarkDispatch Manager is a core module that helps administrators, production managers, traffic managers, and managing editors juggle everything from archiving, replicating, and transferring files to project monitoring, tracking, and management. You can manage users, monitor workloads, make new assignments, re-assign projects, re-route files, and more.

Enable true simultaneous collaboration with QuarkXPress users

QuarkDispatch® XTensions® software provides advanced management, control, monitoring, tracking, and collaboration with QuarkXPress® users. This core XTensions module makes it easy to track and assign page elements and assign text to editorial teams using QuarkXPress. Multiple people can work on different components of a QuarkXPress layout space or project at the same time, which means that designers can make changes while writers and editors fine-tune the copy.

See exactly how text displays within a read-only rendition of a layout or Web page

QuarkCopyDesk® provides precise information on how your copy fits in the layout. Writers and editors can use this core module to write-to-fit the first time and see exactly how text displays using multiple views — Galley, Full-screen, or WYSIWYG — for viewing line counts, line breaks, and column breaks. QuarkCopyDesk continuously displays underset or overset amounts, word and line counts, and column depths.

Work from anywhere using industry-standard applications and file formats

QuarkConnect™ provides remote capabilities and support for third-party, industry-standard applications and file formats. Workgroup members can work from anywhere using familiar applications such as Microsoft® Word, Microsoft Excel®, Adobe® Photoshop®, Adobe Illustrator®, Macromedia® Freehand®, CorelDraw®, and more.

Keep software license and administrative costs in step with the peaks and valleys of business

Quark® License Administrator (QLA) ensures that there is not a moment lost because vital software is not available, even when business heats up and the demand for software is high. Give employees access to the Quark products they need, when they need them, with no lost time and no workflow snags, so that you don't pay for more software licenses than you are using.
