Who we’re looking for:

The Large Format Digital Color Production Operator is responsible for the setup, operation, and maintenance of large format digital printers and finishing equipment to produce high-quality color graphics. The ideal candidate will have strong technical skills, attention to detail, and experience in digital printing and finishing processes. This role requires multitasking in a fast-paced production environment while maintaining top-tier output quality and meeting strict deadlines. This is a hands-on role that covers a mix of large format, small format, and finishing work. The right candidate will be flexible and willing to jump in where needed — from running printers to prepping files, trimming graphics, or helping with installation prep.

The ideal person is detail-oriented, reliable, and thrives in a fast-paced shop environment where every day can look a little different. Experience is great, but we’re also open to training the right person!

In this role you will:

• Operate large-format digital printers (HP and Canon), including media loading, calibration, and print job execution based on production specifications.
• Ensure color accuracy, print quality, and registration throughout production runs; follow RIP software and color management workflows (Onyx, Fiery).
• Prepare and proof print-ready files using Adobe Creative Suite (Illustrator, Photoshop, Acrobat) or other design tools.
• Verify file resolution, layout, color profiles, and bleed to meet large-format production standards; communicate with customers to resolve file issues.
• Operate finishing equipment including laminators, vinyl cutters, plotters, trimmers, and mounting presses.
• Perform vinyl prep tasks such as weeding, masking, and mounting graphics to substrates like foam board, acrylic, and coroplast.
• Trim, hem, grommet, and prep banners and signage; assist with application or installation prep for wraps and decals.
• Conduct routine machine maintenance and basic troubleshooting to ensure optimal performance.
• Inspect finished products for quality and accuracy; maintain production records and inventory usage.
• Work efficiently to meet tight deadlines while collaborating with team members to ensure high-quality results and customer satisfaction.

Requirements:

• High School Diploma or GED equivalent required.
• 1–3 years of experience in large format digital printing or sign production.
• Strong understanding of digital color theory and file formats (CMYK, RGB, Pantone).
• Proficiency with Adobe Creative Suite (Illustrator, Photoshop, Acrobat) and RIP software (e.g., Onyx, Fiery).
• Physically able to lift 50+ lbs and stand for extended periods.
• Detail-oriented with a strong eye for color accuracy, layout, and design.
• Solid technical problem-solving skills and ability to troubleshoot equipment or file issues.
• Excellent multitasking, time management, and organizational abilities.
• Clear and effective communication skills with internal teams and customers.
• Preferred: Experience with vinyl installation, vehicle wraps, or environmental graphics; familiarity with CNC routers and sign fabrication techniques.

What We offer:

• Excellent Company support and resources.
• Excellent Company Reputation because we consistently receive 5-star customer reviews.
• Comprehensive Employee benefits that include full health, dental, vision, and life insurance as well as a 401-K Plan with company matching.
