Vancouver, BC, Jun 27, 2002 - ArtQuest International Alliances has launched a new forum to help stimulate information exchange between the members of its user community. Elaborated in partnership with PrintPlanet (www.printplanet.com), the standard for discussion forums in the printing industry, the user group will allow the various users and distributors of ArtQuest products to exchange information and ideas regarding the Crescendo workflow, and the prepress and graphic arts industry in general. The ArtQuest User Group answers a pressing need for industry members. "With the introduction of the new Crescendo version 2, users want more than ever to be able to exchange knowledge, not only regarding ArtQuest products, but also about processes and methods that have been implemented in different production environments..." says Francis Peuch, Kaleidos, France. Colin Taylor, from CT & Line Distribution (U.K.), adds: "This discussion group will give our growing (U.K.) ArtQuest community the opportunity to interact with other local ArtQuest users, but also with users in France and Canada...". The ArtQuest User Group will be up and running before mid-July. Users and distributors can join the ranks of the ArtQuest User Group through ArtQuest's Website: www.artquest.ca.
