Job description

A Dry-Offset Printing Pressman is a specialized printing press operator who sets up, operates, and maintains printing machines - typically offset presses adapted for waterless (dry) offset printing on products like plastic containers. In practice, this role entails preparing printing plates, adjusting ink and presssure settings, running test prints, and monitoring the press to ensure high-quality output. A pressman must control color quality, registration, and make mechanical adjustments to keep the press running smoothly. Given the dry-offset specialization, these press operators often print multi-color designs on three dimensional plastic products (e.g. cups, tubes, lids) by using plates and inks in a process similar to conventional offet lithography but without water.

You should be proficient in:

  • Quality Inspection Experience
  • Machine Setups for Production Runs
  • Offset Lithography

Machines & technologies you'll use:

  • Flexographic Printing Press
