Quark announced today that anyone purchasing or upgrading to QuarkXPress 9 between May 31 and June 30, 2012 will receive Gluon’s newest ProPack 9, worth $219, free of charge. Gluon’s ProPack 9 contains 14 Mac XTensions (9 Windows XTensions) and adds features, functionality, and value to QuarkXPress by automating and eliminating repetitive steps.

The offer is valid for anyone purchasing a copy of QuarkXPress, including education, non-profit, and government organizations. All existing QuarkXPress customers, including those using versions of QuarkXPress dating back to version 3, can upgrade to QuarkXPress 9 for $349.

“Quark has a track record of giving its customers feature-rich updates to QuarkXPress at no extra cost, such as the new Kindle export features in QuarkXPress 9.3 that were just released today. Now with Gluon’s ProPack, designers can boost their productivity even further and get more value from their investment – all the more if they have an old copy of QuarkXPress and wish to catch-up with the current version,” said Gavin Drake, Vice President of Marketing for Quark.

Gluon’s ProPack includes:

-- ColuMaker: Control column spans of selected text. You can span multiple columns, break one column into sub-columns, or convert multi-column boxes into multiple linked boxes.
-- iDropper: Get colors from placed pictures and create instant harmonized color palettes or copy box attributes between boxes with an eyedropper tool added to Quark’s tool palette.
-- Greeker: Toggle live copy from readable text to unreadable Greeking in printouts while maintaining all paragraph formatting. Fantastic for ad designers who want to keep the client’s mind on the design and not the copy.
