• Preflight incoming artwork and resolve technical file issues
• Manage color profiles and maintain print consistency
• Operate, monitor, and maintain roll-to-roll wide format printers
• Perform routine printer maintenance and basic troubleshooting
• Work closely with production and installation teams to ensure accuracy and efficiency
• Maintain quality control standards in a fast-paced environment

Required Qualifications

• Proven experience in wide format pre-press production
• Strong experience setting up files for vehicle wraps (required)
• Proficiency in Adobe Illustrator (required)
• Experience with paneling large wall wraps and vehicle graphics
• Solid understanding of bleed, overlap, scaling, and installation-ready layouts
• Experience operating and maintaining roll-to-roll printers
• Strong attention to detail and ability to work efficiently under deadlines

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience with RIP software (Onyx, Caldera, or similar)
• Knowledge of color calibration and color management workflows
• Experience in high-volume print environments
• Familiarity with laminating and finishing processes
• Experience collaborating directly with installers

What We Offer

• Full-time, stable position
• Fast-paced, team-oriented work environment
• Opportunity to work on large-scale and creative projects
