Responsibilities:
Color separations / prepress
- Produce print-ready color separations from customer-supplied and in-house artwork, choosing the right method per job — spot color, simulated process, CMYK process, index, or grayscale.
- Build underbases (white underbase for darks), highlight whites, and apply trapping/choking so the job registers cleanly on press.
- Set halftone parameters — LPI, dot shape, angles — and compensate for dot gain across different mesh counts, inks, and substrates.
- Expose screens via CTS, and run the RIP/separation software for that output.
- Match and spec ink colors to Pantone, build color maps, and flag any colors that won't hold on a given garment.
- QC every separation before it hits film/screen — catch registration problems, channel errors, and art that will fight the press.
- Coordinate with the screen room and press operators on mesh, ink, and sequence so seps are built for how the job will actually print.
Graphic design (the creative half)
- Create, redraw, and clean up artwork in Illustrator and Photoshop — vectorizing low-res customer logos to print quality.
- Build customer mockups and proofs for approval, and turn around revisions.
- Prep art for each decoration method the company offers, screen print, DTG, DTF, embroidery, knowing each has different art requirements and constraints.
- Maintain the art library: file naming, version control, and archiving so jobs can be re-run cleanly.
Workflow / shared
- Work the prepress queue from job tickets and hit the deadlines that feed the production schedule.
- Interface with account managers on art questions, file issues, and what's achievable for a given job.
- Hold company color and quality standards across both design and separations.
Qualifications:
- Bachelor's degree in Graphic Design, Fine Arts, or related field (or equivalent work experience).
- Proficiency in industry-standard design software (Adobe Creative Suite, etc.)
- Experience designing for apparel and tangible marketing products
- Strong portfolio showcasing a range of design work, including print materials, digital assets, and branding projects.
- Ability to manage multiple projects simultaneously in a fast-paced environment.
- High attention to detail
- Knowledge of screen printing processes and techniques is a plus
