Charlotte, N.C. – Josh Kiser, a skilled laboratory analyst the past three years for global anilox supplier Harper Corporation of America, is assuming new duties at the company's Harper GraphicSolutions division.

Kiser has been promoted to Supervisor of the lab operation. In his new position, he will coordinate processing of Anilox Roll Audits and oversee the lab's technical assistance in the field.

"Josh's enthusiasm for technical support on behalf of customers has been evident since he joined our company in 2006," said Alexander James, Technical Graphics Manager at Harper GraphicSolutions. "His thoroughness and overall professionalism make him an ideal choice for greater responsibilities. We're glad he's here."

In the Harper GraphicSolutions lab, Kiser and colleagues perform detailed analyses of images generated by Echocheks -- a tool for viewing the structure of microscopic anilox roll surfaces. The lab team also prepares Anilox Roll Audits of customer operations. The audits yield insights on the condition of anilox rolls, the quality of anilox engravings and how appropriate the anilox process is for customers' tasks.
