Well after a few emails to Cyndie at Quark I got it all straighten out.

I think Adobe should retract the closure of the Adobe Print Service Provider Program. If they wanted to improve the program, change it to the Adobe Service Provider Program. This would allow all service providers, not just printers, into the program.

Interesting both articles mention worldwide and premium membership, but in truth the premium membership was not available outside the US. Also being part of an amarican printers association is tricky from sweden? Or are they opening up to support worldwide comunity of printers?

Nice read Cory. Looks like Quark is taking the ball and running. Although designers can't be to happy about the new promote program.

Might be a question already answered but I did not find it....does Adobe have any other program that print vendors can use in getting a cheaper price on their creative suite software? I have 2 designers that have licensed copies of CS4. I am hiring a third designer and am wondering if there is any other program that Adobe has where I can get a copy of CS4 without having to spend $1600.
