Quark and Image Source, an independent producer for creative royalty-free stock photography, have announced a new relationship as Image Source joins the global Quark Alliance programme.

The relationship enables members of the Quark Alliance to purchase Image Source photography directly from Image Source's website and receive special benefits based on their membership plans.

For the first month before generally releasing new images through its worldwide distributor network, Image Source offers its material exclusively from its website.

With the Quark Alliance relationship, Quark Alliance members will now have access to Image Source photography before it is released through the network.

Image Source said it is one of only two stock providers currently offering such benefits in partnership with the Quark Alliance programme.

Duncan Grossart, the chief executive officer of Image Source, said: "Our new partnership with Quark allows us to offer Image Source's exceptional collection through the Quark Alliance programme, providing value for its customers, as well as easier access to Image Source's market-leading royalty-free photography." The Quark Alliance promotes members' visibility within the Quark community and provides product discounts amongst the partners involved in the programme.

Quark said that its goal is to connect developers, consultants, resellers, and related companies to build a community that provides Quark customers with additional and valuable products and services.

Cyndie Shafstall, the director of Quark Alliance, said: "The Quark Alliance programme is designed to offer Quark partners and customers - some of the world's largest publishing, design and media companies - special benefits and support based on their level of membership and usage of Quark software, including QuarkXPress.

Image Source is a premier provider of professional stock imagery and we are thrilled to provide the benefits of its service through Quark Alliance.".
