Mr. Cook brings significant financial leadership to Presstek, which he joined in February 2007 as Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer. He was appointed Executive Vice President in February 2008. Previously, Mr. Cook held financial leadership roles at various General Electric businesses, Moore Inc., and Kodak Polychrome Graphics, a joint venture between Kodak and Sun Chemical Corp., where he was Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer.

"We are very pleased to welcome Stan and Jeff to our Board," said Presstek President, Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board, Jeffrey Jacobson. "Stan brings a wealth of knowledge and industry experience to Presstek's Board and will make a tremendous contribution toward shaping Presstek's digital and international growth strategy. Jeff is a seasoned financial executive who has already significantly contributed to making Presstek a stronger company financially. His strategic leadership and financial expertise will be invaluable at the Board level."

"Presstek is an innovative company with a highly accomplished management team," said Freimuth. "I am excited to join Presstek's Board and look forward to actively contributing to shaping the company's vision and helping drive future growth."

The Company also announced that Frank D. Steenburgh has resigned from the Board so that he can devote more time to new business activities that will prevent him from dedicating the time necessary to fully perform his duties as a member of the Board.

"On behalf of the entire Board of Directors and management team, I would like to thank Frank for his service to our Board," said Jacobson. "Frank's leadership and experience in the graphic arts industry have helped advance Presstek's digital growth business and we will miss his vision and guidance. We wish him all the best."

"As excited as I was to join the Presstek Board of Directors, I now reluctantly step down as I will be focusing primarily on my full-time responsibilities as the Chief Marketing Officer of ColorCentric Corp.," said Steenburgh. "I am excited about Presstek's future and I have told Jeff and his team that I am always available to them."
