Presstek (Nashua, NH), a leading provider of eco-friendly printing solutions, has appointed James Boyden to its Zahara Chemistry-Free Plates Division. Boyden brings to Presstek over 20 years of experience in print production and sales leadership, and will work directly with printers of all sizes to provide expert advice and guidance for their waterless offset presses and plate requirements.
