Quark, Inc. (founded 1981 in Denver, Colorado) is a privately-owned software company best known for QuarkXPress. Quark's attempts to diversify into other related areas have so far failed (multimedia development, photo/image editing), the only other success so far is QPS, an editorial system based on QuarkXPress. It is called Quark because the company's goal is to "create software that would be the platform for publishing", just as quarks are the basis for all matter.

However, in 2004 Meryl Lynch estimates the market share of QuarkXPress is still eight times higher than Adobe InDesign.
