Job Description
Craft the print that clients remember
Great print is no accident—it’s the result of disciplined setup, relentless color control, and thoughtful collaboration. Imagine a tight deadline: you bring up the Heidelberg, lock in registration, correct a subtle color cast with calibrated profiles, and ship a flawless run. That’s the level of craftsmanship we’re after.
Your mission- Own end-to-end press operations across offset (web and sheetfed) and flexographic equipment to deliver exacting results.
- Translate specs into production: audit files, refine layouts and typography, and calibrate color using Adobe Creative Suite.
- Ensure color continuity across multiple jobs with robust color management methodologies.
- Run vigilant quality checks from first sheet to final pallet, verifying density, registration, and spec compliance.
- Maintain, diagnose, and repair issues on presses, CNC-integrated components, and related machining tools.
- Partner with prepress to validate proofs and confirm readiness before plates hit the cylinders.
- Support material movement by safely operating forklifts when required.
- Model clean, safe, compliant work practices and help build a culture of safety.
- Train and support new team members to raise the bar on consistency and throughput.
- Continuously improve processes to boost efficiency, quality, and workflow.
- 5+ years in a commercial or manufacturing print environment; offset lithography background strongly preferred.
- Deep technical fluency with lithographic processes and press setup techniques.
- Broad prepress expertise—imposition, trapping, proofing—and production coordination.
- Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator, and InDesign proficiency for press-ready preparation.
- Mastery of color management systems and standards used in professional print and advertising.
- Command of design principles, layout, typography, and end-to-end production flows.
- Quality control acumen; you identify and correct issues early.
- Analytical, fast-resolving approach to technical problems during live runs.
- Exceptional organization and attention to detail while handling multiple projects.
- Machine setups for production
- Web offset operations
- Sheetfed offset operations
If precision, color excellence, and continuous improvement motivate you, this role offers a dynamic manufacturing environment where your expertise truly matters.
