| Aspect | Custom Embroidery | Embroidery Machine Operator |
|---|---|---|
| Credentials | Design skills, embroidery software knowledge | Machine operation certifications, technical skills |
| Work Environment | Design studios, print shops, custom shops | Manufacturing facilities, production lines |
| Industry Usage | Creating custom designs, personalized items | Running embroidery machines for mass or custom production |
Custom Embroidery involves designing and creating personalized embroidery patterns, often requiring artistic skills and software knowledge. Embroidery Machine Operators focus on operating and maintaining embroidery machines to produce embroidered products. While both roles work within the embroidery industry, Custom Embroidery emphasizes design and customization, whereas Embroidery Machine Operators concentrate on machine operation and production efficiency.
Lion DTF Transfers is a fast-growing DTF (Direct-to-Film) transfer supplier serving screen printers, embroidery shops, print brokers, and apparel brands across the country. We're known for vibrant color, fast turnaround, and a team that treats every order like it matters — because it does. As we expand (including our new Nashville, TN location), we're looking for a hands-on Printer Operator to help us keep up with demand without sacrificing the quality our customers count on.
What You'll Do
-Operate and maintain DTF printers to produce high-quality, full-color transfers on film
-Apply adhesive powder and manage curing to spec for consistent, durable results
-Monitor print runs for color accuracy, resolution, and registration — catching issues before they leave the floor
-Perform routine printer maintenance and troubleshoot common print issues (banding, misfeeds, ink clogs, etc.)
-Keep your station clean, organized, and stocked with film and ink
-Work closely with our QC/shipping team to make sure every order ships accurately and on time
-Help us hit our 1-business-day turnaround standard on print-ready orders
What We're Looking For
-Experience operating inkjet, DTF, DTG, or similar large-format printers (DTF experience a big plus, but not required — we'll train the right person)
-A sharp eye for color, detail, and quality control
-Comfort working in a fast-paced, deadline-driven production environment
-Reliable, on-time, and able to work well as part of a small, tight-knit team
-Basic mechanical aptitude for equipment troubleshooting
-Ability to stand for extended periods and lift up to 20-30 lbs (film rolls, supplies, etc.)
Nice to Have
Familiarity with Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop
Familiarity with heat press application and garment decoration
Experience with gang sheet layout or RIP software
