Quark Launches Web-to-Print Service

[hansman]

ah yes Quark where oh where do I start.
In the early 90s I used them exclusively for type, in fact they were it in the 90's.
Then I remember when they insisted you buy a full working version back in the day.
They kind of had a pay up or forget it attitude.
At the time Adobe had Pagemaker, if you wanted to get anywhere you had to have quark.
Then came Photoshop layers, InDesign, PDF's
At this point the thinking with most Prepress professionals was lets try InDesign how bad can it be.
Some started to actually like it after version ID2 it just worked.
If Quark wanted to try and get back in with the Print pros (the ones that are left) they could maybe...................
Oh wait it looks like quark is leaning to the windows platform?
Does it say it is a partner with Microsoft?
ah never mind

God I love this business, no wonder I have a giant, sinking feeling that's only growing daily.

Yes!!! more than you think: do you know "USB wine" system?
It's like iTune and iTune music store, but for wines: an USB tap and a dedicated download site...

... you simply plug the tap on an USB port of your computer (not behind the computer, it's easier!!!), then you are automatically connected to the site, you choose your wine, you pay, you download the wine, you put a glass or a bottle under the USB tap, you open the tap and the downloaded wine flows from the tap to the glass or the bottle.. easy, isn't it?
(here is the ad & demo video... with sub-titles, for those how do not understand french...)

This device makes Quark completely obsolete (as usual) in its delivery system!!! Does Quark really believes that the customers would accept to have to wait for a delivery by mail or to have to go themself pick-up the cards by the printer??? stupid! obsolete! out of age! dynosaur!
Why does not Quark made such an "USB-card" to deliver the cards by internet? that would be a real revolution!
