Quark announced yesterday that Techno Design has migrated its Information Publishing Management (IPM) web-to-print system to run on the Quark Dynamic Document Server (QuarkDDS).

Techno Design is a Dutch development company specialising in software for the print, publishing and document-creation industry.

QuarkDDS is a server-composition engine based on QuarkXPress that enables users to build documents and create, edit and view native QuarkXPress documents in a web browser.

Serena Brinkman, Quark partner manager, for northern Europe, said: "QuarkDDS continues to gain a wide adoption in a range of industries, from global brand-management in advertising agencies to personalisation in direct-marketing.

Techno Design is another strong partner with a focused product for printers.

We look forward to supporting it as it looks to bring IPM Entry to printers across Europe." Frank Lambour, sales manager at Techno Design, commented: "We're delighted with the move to QuarkDDS.

QuarkDDS gives us significantly improved performance for previewing, rendering documents, and creating PDFs.

The fact that the composition engine is based on QuarkXPress means that our customers can take all of their existing QuarkXPress documents, as well as years of investment and experience, and maximise it in IPM." IPM Entry, the entry-level version of IPM, is the latest development in digital-printing technology.

It enables print service providers to optimise workflows so that customers use a web-browser interface to create, edit, preview and order print materials directly from a printer, said Quark.

The software is claimed to improve the efficiency of creating and ordering printed documents and has the potential to enable printers to attract new business and expand products to existing clients.
