Print Production Associate - Large Format

About the Role

We're hiring a Print Production Associate to run jobs on our large-format production floor. You'll operate our printers, prep and finish output, and keep work moving through the queue on schedule and to spec. You'll be trained on our RIP environment and our production standards, and you'll work alongside the Print Manager and the rest of the production team.

We need someone who already understands the print floor, print terminology, and print workflow, and who's ready to be trained on our specific tools and standards from there.

What You'll Do

Set up, run, and monitor large-format print jobs across multiple devices and substrates
Load and manage media, inks, and consumables
Operate RIP software (Caldera and Onyx) to queue, nest, and output files
Run routine calibration and linearization checks to keep output within color tolerance
Inspect output for color accuracy, banding, registration, and defects before it moves downstream
Handle finishing as needed: trimming, laminating, mounting, packing
Work the daily production schedule and flag delays, misprints, or material shortages early
Perform daily and weekly printer maintenance: head checks, cleanings, wipe downs
Keep the work area, media inventory, and job tickets organized and accurate

What We Need You to Bring on Day One

Hands-on experience in a print production environment (large-format, commercial, sign shop, or similar; tell us where)
Working knowledge of print terminology and workflow, from file to finished piece
Comfort with software-driven workflows. You don't need Caldera or Onyx specifically, but you should pick up new systems without hand-holding
Strong attention to detail, since color and print quality tolerances leave little room for error
Reliability and follow-through
Ability to stand for a full shift and lift up to 50 lbs, including rolled media and mounted panels

Nice to Have (not required)

Caldera or Onyx RIP experience

Color profiling, calibration, or G7 exposure
Finishing equipment experience (laminator, flatbed cutter, CNC router)
Forklift or pallet jack certification
