From July 4, Scholastic took over distribution of the complete range of QuarkXpress retail, education and volume license products for both Mac OS and Windows platforms.

Quark vice president of sales for the Asia, Middle East and Africa regions, Gyan Prakash, says Scholastic’s strength in the Australian education channel is important to Quark.

“Getting QuarkXpress into classrooms throughout Australia, with the help of Scholastic, means that QuarkXpress will be widely used and will also give Quark insight into what the designers of the future want and need in their tools,” says Prakash.

Scholastic will work closely with Quark to provide complete distribution services to the reseller channels serving the professional, retail and education markets. The distribution services will include licensing support through customer services and account management contact with resellers nationally.

Scholastic will also provide resources to aid Quark in the development of marketing communications and customer programmes, the co-ordination of training and seminars, and the development of school and tertiary and education channels.
Advertising and promotional support will be provided through Scholastic’s MDF programme.
