QuarkXPress 9 now shipping

The wait to join the Digital Publishing Revolution is over! QuarkXPress 9 lets users publish to print, Web, iPad, ePUB and other interactive formats from one familiar application without writing a single line of code. QuarkXPress 9 is now in stock and available for immediate delivery.

QuarkXPress—the most reliable print design and publishing tool—is now the easiest, most powerful tool for digital design and publishing.
