The launch of Atomik XML Publisher breaks new ground in XML Publishing for QuarkXPress 7

London – 2nd June 2006 – Easypress Technologies, the leading developer of XML products for QuarkXPress, today announced the launch of a new product, Atomik XML Publisher, which will be the first XML product globally to work alongside QuarkXPress 7.

“This launch marks a massive step forward in the development of our Atomik XML range of products”, said James Macfarlane, the Founder and CTO of Easypress Technologies. “The launch of QuarkXPress 7 is a milestone for Quark in confirming their position in the global Desktop Publishing market. We are proud to launch a new product based on our market-leading XML technology as part of that initiative.”

Charles Delamain, the CEO for Easypress Technologies stated, “The launch of Atomik XML Publisher is exciting and we are pleased to do that as part of a global distribution agreement with Quark.” Elaborating further he said, “A bundled version of Atomik XML Publisher will be shipped, first in Europe and then in the US, to work in conjunction with QuarkXPress 7. This will enable customers to access our complementary XML technology and apply it to their environment.” Commenting further, Delamain said that, “This is a truly exciting step forward for our business and secures a bright, long-term future for our customers.”

James Macfarlane, Founder and CTO agreed by saying, “In agreement with Quark, we have produced an entry level XML product which includes many of the best features found in our existing Atomik technology. Easypress has ported its Atomik XML technology to work exclusively on the new QuarkXPress 7 platform for both MAC OSX and Windows XP clients. For the first time, the product will support multi-language capability supporting International English, French, German, Spanish, Italian and Dutch.” Macfarlane continued that, “Never before has Easypress Technologies bundled both XML import and export technology together for its clients in a single product. Together, any user of Atomik XML Publisher would have all the tools they need to simply import and export XML to and from QuarkXPress 7.”

Matthew Wallis, senior vice president for sales and marketing for Quark Europe and Asia, summed up the announcement by saying, “Easypress Technologies has a long –standing reputation for providing leading edge XML products for our QuarkXPress users. As part of Quark’s approach to the market, we are seeking out companies with best-of-breed technology, such as Easypress Technologies, and are working closely with them to bring customers the level of technology they need to succeed.”
