Full Job Description

Position Summary

We are seeking an experienced Prepress Operator to prepare customer files for digital printing, signs, banners, apparel, and related production.

This is not an entry-level position, and on-the-job prepress training is not provided. Applicants must have previous hands-on prepress experience in a commercial printing, sign, or comparable production environment.

This is a production-prepress position, not a graphic design position. The primary responsibility is correcting, preparing, and processing existing customer artwork for production.

Responsibilities

Review and preflight customer-supplied files.
Prepare files for digital printing, signs, banners, and screen-printed apparel.
Check file dimensions, resolution, bleeds, fonts, transparency, color modes, and image quality.
Make production-related corrections to customer artwork when necessary.
Set up files according to equipment and production specifications.
Prepare imposed files, cut files, and other production-ready output.
Perform color corrections, and maintain consistent output quality.
Identify and resolve file problems before production.
Communicate clearly with production staff and customer-service personnel regarding file issues.
Organize and prioritize work to meet daily production deadlines.
Maintain accurate file naming, job records, and production workflow.
Perform routine maintenance and troubleshooting on assigned equipment.

Required Qualifications

Previous professional experience as a Prepress Operator in commercial printing, digital printing, sign production, or a closely related field.
Working knowledge of Adobe Illustrator, Adobe Photoshop, and Adobe Acrobat.
Strong understanding of PDF files, vector and raster graphics, fonts, bleeds, resolution, color modes, and print-production requirements.
Experience preparing files for wide-format signs and banners.
Experience preparing files for digital print production.
Ability to identify and correct production problems without extensive supervision.
Strong attention to detail.
Ability to manage multiple jobs in a deadline-driven production environment.
Clear verbal and written communication skills.
Reliable attendance, and the ability to work on site Monday through Friday.

Preferred Experience

Screen-printing prepress for apparel.
RIP software and wide-format production workflows.
Variable-data printing.
Digital cutting or contour-cut file preparation.
Color management and output calibration.

Position Details

Job type: Full-time
Schedule: Eight-hour shift, Monday through Friday
Work location: In person
Benefits: Paid time off

Job Type: Full-time

Pay: $18.00 - $25.00 per hour
