Generation 3, Inc. is looking for a hands-on print production operator to run digital printing, booklet making, and finishing for our athletic programs and media guides. This is a production floor role for someone who takes pride in clean, accurate work and hitting deadlines.
What You'll Do
Run Ricoh digital presses for color and black-and-white production work, including loading jobs, matching color, managing paper stock, and keeping runs on schedule. Use Fiery RIP software to preflight files, impose jobs, manage color output, and drive the presses efficiently. Operate the Duplo booklet maker to collate, fold, saddle-stitch, and face-trim finished booklets. Run the guillotine cutter to trim product to final size accurately and safely. Inspect output at every stage for print quality, registration, and finishing defects, and pull anything that does not meet standard. Perform routine cleaning, blade changes, and basic maintenance to keep equipment running. Track jobs through production and communicate status so nothing slips. Keep the production area organized, stocked, and safe.
What We're Looking For
Experience running digital presses and bindery equipment is strongly preferred, especially Ricoh presses and Duplo or similar booklet-making systems. Hands-on experience with Fiery RIP software for imposition, color management, and job workflow is a strong plus. If you have run comparable equipment and learn fast, we want to hear from you. Solid mechanical aptitude and comfort troubleshooting jams and minor issues. A sharp eye for detail and color. The ability to stand for a full shift and lift cartons of paper and stock, up to about 50 pounds. Dependability and steady attendance. Basic computer skills for managing print queues and job files.
The Schedule
This is a full-time, year-round position. Our workload stays steady throughout the year and runs heaviest from August through May, so reliability and a willingness to push through deadline weeks are important.
Pay: $20.00 - $30.00 per hour
