Charlotte, N.C., June 24, 2008 – Harper GraphicSolutions, the technical service arm of global anilox supplier Harper Corporation of America, is pleased to announce that Jeff Leazer has joined its team.

A graduate of Central Piedmont Community College's graphics program at the Harper National Flexographic Center, Leazer has accepted the position of Technical Graphics Specialist.

"We're very excited to welcome Jeff. He has received two PICA awards for flexography, and has demonstrated a real aptitude and zeal for this industry," said Alexander James, Technical Graphics Manager, Eastern Division of Harper GraphicSolutions. "His primary function will be working with graphic files related to Xtreme Digital Imaging (XDI) technology, as well as other applications."

The XDI family of digitally laser-engraved cylinders offers a durable, long-lasting surface that withstands the rigors of phosphorescent inks, mixed metal oxide inks, and titanium inks. Additionally, due to the durability of this proven ceramic cylinder, the XDI engravings are ideal for cold seal adhesive applications. Xtreme Digital Imaging tolerates the engraving of graphics, logos and patterns directly into ceramic cylinders for flexographic or gravure rolls.

"I feel very fortunate to be starting my career with the industry leader," Leazer said. "This is such a great opportunity, and I look forward to serving Harper Corporation's customers."
