The Quark QPS editorial system has been used successfully by some of our clients for nearly 10 years, and our knowledge of the solution is extensive, having been involved with many implementations and subsequent support and development.

In addition to our editorial system experience, we have in-depth knowledge of the newspaper and magazine production workflow, including colour management issues and digital asset management solutions.

Magazine and Book Publishers

We have worked with many of the UK’s leading magazine publishers to help and advise them develop more efficient and economic production workflows. With technology and publishing strategies in a constant state of flux, we are able to offer unbiased advice on these issues.

Our work with one of Europe’s largest book publishers, Porto Editora, led to the successful installation and integration of the Quark DMS solution that now drives their business. You can see the full story in our case study.
