Narrow‑Web Flexographic Press Specialist (Mark Andy P4)

Own Your Shift on the Mark Andy P4

Picture your next shift: you arrive, review the job ticket, build your plan, and bring a Mark Andy Performance Series P4 flexographic press to life. Plates are mounted, anilox rolls and inks are dialed in, dies and substrates are queued, and the first pass locks into tight registration with rich, consistent color. When a print variable shifts, you troubleshoot fast—correcting misregistration, ink coverage, or dot gain—keeping uptime high and waste low. You collaborate with Scheduling, Prepress, Quality, Finishing, and Maintenance to deliver pressure-sensitive labels and packaging that meet exacting customer specs, production timelines, and quality standards—safely, efficiently, and with pride.
