The article focuses on Denver, Colorado-based Quark Inc., which is learning in the face of tough competition from Adobe Systems Inc. in the $2.7 billion desktop publishing software market. Since the early 1990s, QuarkXPress has been an essential tool for design professionals, advertising agencies, and publishing companies, which use the software to create graphic layouts. By 1998, QuarkXPress enjoyed an 80 percent market share and a virtual monopoly among designers at firms such as Condé Nast, McCann Erickson, and Time Inc. Today, however San Jose, California-based Adobe has Quark on the defensive as high-profile customers in publishing, advertising, and architecture have dumped Quark in favor of Adobe's InDesign. Users contend that after QuarkXPress 4.1 was released in 1999, the software remained virtually unchanged for the next four years. This created an opportunity for Adobe, whose Photoshop photo-imaging and Illustrator graphic design programs are also industry standards. Quark's inertia became even more apparent when Apple Computer moved to OS X in 2002.
