Quark Inc will showcase the Unicode and Open Type support that will be available in QuarkXPress 7 at Typo Technica.
Designmerge is a suite of software modules that is claimed to allow users to create variable-data output from QuarkXPress projects.
Each copy of a printed document can be personalised - changing items such as name, address and graphics - and the process is database-driven.
The XTensions module is touted by designers for its production-oriented features, including the Copyfit feature, which automatically fits text in to the space allotted for it and the Designmerge Rules feature, which provides the ability to perform specific layout actions based on the contents of one or more database fields, said Quark.
Users can publish QuarkXPress projects created with Designmerge directly to any PostScript device and, to achieve high-performance output, users can apply the new Personalised Print Markup Language (PPML) formatting feature in QuarkXPress 7, added the company.
John Kriho, president of Meadows Publishing Solutions, said: "We are eager to develop our tools to take advantage of the innovative features built in to QuarkXPress 7.
Variable-data publishing is becoming increasingly popular with publishers and marketers.
The Designmerge tools provide value for data-publishing professionals across all of Quark's markets, including the catalogue, retail and corporate publishing segments." Richard Pasewark, senior vice president of sales and marketing for the Americas at Quark, commented: "Working with Meadows to ensure the timely release of XTensions modules for QuarkXPress 7 is very important to Quark.
It is imperative that our XTensions partners develop their software so that QuarkXPress 7 users can fully utilise their suite of productivity-enhancing products and we are thrilled that the first Meadows tool is out of the gate.".
