"All you have to do is purchase your new QuarkXPress 8 license from any Quark Authorised Reseller or direct from Quark and then follow the redemption process to receive your additional free license," explains Quark.

The offer expires 31 January 2010 and only applies to valid products purchased between 19 November 2009 and 31 January 2010.

QuarkXPress 8 currently costs £779.00 plus VAT for the electronic download or £790.99 plus VAT for the CD-ROM Disc from the Quark store.

"We’re delighted to give our customers and potential customers an additional reason to purchase new QuarkXPress 8 full products this Christmas" said Gavin Drake, Marketing Director, Quark in a press release.

"Whether it’s an organisation looking to invest in desktop publishing for the first time, an existing customer that needs to add more licenses, or a lapsed user looking to learn QuarkXPress again, there’s truly never been a better time to buy a new QuarkXPress 8 full product".

Quark insists the deal represents a major saving for customers, especially when combined with the substantial return on investment of QuarkXPress 8 highlighted in the Pfeiffer report available here.

For further information on the promotion, answers to frequently asked questions, terms and conditions and product eligibility customers can visit http://8.quark.com/en/2for1.

System requirements are Mac OS X 10.4.6 (Tiger), Mac OS X 10.5.x (Leopard), Mac OS X 10.6.2 (Snow Leopard) or later, Intel or PowerPC based Mac.

In August, Quark introduced the QuarkXPress 8.1 update, which improves PDF output capabilities and introduces features that make the page layout process even more intuitive and productive insists the company.

QuarkXPress 8.1 also introduced a 'Native Transparency' mode for creating PDFs, which can offer designers faster and more flexible PDF output support and provide greater control over the PDF workflow process.

The mode allows objects to which transparency has been applied within QuarkXPress to remain unflattened in the final PDF output says Quark.

QuarkXPress 8.1 also addresses outstanding issues reported by users and introduced improved design features that enable faster and more precise page creation.

A new keyboard modifier makes picture drag and drop more precise and predictable promise Quark.

Item Styles and Item Find/Change now fully integrate drop shadows, and users can update Item Styles with a single click to reflect changes they make in the layout.

QuarkXPress spell checking is now carried out with a new palette that enables users to save time by more easily adjusting their text as necessary while in the middle of the spell-checking process.

QuarkXPress is also the only layout application that gives layer-by-layer controls in its output options, offering the ability to send content with multiple variants to an output provider within a single PDF.
