Venerable software developer GLUON has released a new, enhanced version of its best selling ProPack bundle that is QuarkXPress™ 8 compatible. Like previous versions of ProPack, version 8 has little or no fluff. Users will find nothing but XTensions they’ll use day in and day out. Some of the new tools now included in ProPack have sold separately for more than the cost ProPack, or in some cases, a significant portion of the price. With this new version of ProPack GLUON is offering unprecedented publishing power to XPress 8 users — at a price that’s impossible to pass up.
Summary of new features and XTensions:
* QuarkXPress 8 native
* ProScale — users can now scale drop shadows as an option (along with many other options).
* ImageGrid 8 — users can create “contact sheets” and catalogs of images with folders
* TableMaker 8 — (new to ProPack) users now have a tool to format tables intelligently using tabbed text or table cells.
* QC 8 — (new to ProPack) a serious Quality Control tool that finds and fixes problems. QC 7 even has a “proofreader” module.
* NaviZoom — A zoom and navigation tool that also allows uncluttered, clean previews of pages or spreads and can also show document as slide show
Along with these additions, other ProPack software has been updated to work with QuarkXPress 8 including: Cropster, iDropper, Cloner, Greeker, Linkster, ProGrids & Guides, ProBullets & Numbers, Reporter, ShapeMaker, SpotCheck and Strata for a total of 16 XTensions.

“ProPack represents a major contribution to the landscape of Desktop Publishing,” says Peter McClard, GLUON CTO. “The collective feature set of this bundle XTensions rivals the complexity and richness of QuarkXPress itself, making the combination an order of magnitude more effective for getting work done properly. We also have some ‘secret’ free additions coming that will please owners of ProPack.”
GLUON ProPack costs $219, Volume discounts and site licenses are available. Upgrades from ProPack 6.x or 7.x are $129 and free to those who’ve bought ProPack 7 since June, 2008.
