Job description

Digital Print & Pre-Press Production Operator

Job Overview

Ardens Print is looking for an experienced Digital Print & Pre-Press Production Operator to join our production team.

We are looking for a professional with hands-on experience in commercial digital printing who can manage the complete production process from A to Z — including graphic design, pre-press, file preparation, digital printing, cutting, finishing, and quality control.

Our work includes business cards, flyers, postcards, note cards, envelopes, brochures, posters, invitations, and other custom printed products.

Experience with a Konica Minolta AccurioPress C7000/C7000 series, or a similar commercial production printer, is highly preferred.

Responsibilities

  • Operate commercial digital production printers, preferably Konica Minolta C7000/C7000 series or similar equipment.
  • Prepare customer artwork and create professional, print-ready files.
  • Use Adobe Illustrator, Photoshop, and InDesign for design and production.
  • Perform pre-press, including sizing, bleeds, margins, resolution, color, layout, and imposition.
  • Set up jobs based on paper type, size, weight, and production requirements.
  • Monitor print quality, color consistency, registration, and overall production.
  • Troubleshoot common printing, paper-feeding, registration, and print-quality issues.
  • Operate cutting and finishing equipment.
  • Cut, trim, laminate, fold, and finish printed products as required.
  • Perform final quality control and prepare completed orders.
  • Maintain an organized and efficient production area.

Required Qualifications

  • 2+ years of professional commercial digital printing experience.
  • Hands-on experience operating a Konica Minolta C7000/C7000 series or similar production digital press.
  • Strong knowledge of pre-press and commercial print production.
  • Professional experience with Adobe Illustrator, Photoshop, and InDesign.
  • Ability to prepare files and operate production equipment independently.
  • Strong understanding of CMYK/RGB, resolution, bleeds, crop marks, sizing, color correction, and print-ready files.
  • Experience with cutting and finishing printed materials.
  • Excellent attention to detail and ability to meet production deadlines.

Important — Please Read Before Applying

This is an experienced production position, not an entry-level role.

We are looking for someone who can independently handle:

Design → Pre-Press → File Preparation → Digital Printing → Cutting/Finishing → Quality Control

Please include the exact commercial printer models you have operated in your application.

Applicants with only heat-press, screen-printing, sublimation, vinyl, hobby-printer, or warehouse experience will not meet the requirements for this position.

Benefits

  • Employee discount
  • Flexible schedule
  • Professional development assistance
  • Referral program

Experience

  • Commercial Digital Printing: 2 years (Required)
  • Konica Minolta C7000 or Similar Production Press: 1 year (Required)
  • Pre-Press / Print File Preparation: 2 years (Required)
  • Adobe Illustrator: 2 years (Required)
  • Adobe Photoshop: 2 years (Required)
  • Adobe InDesign: 2 years (Required)
  • Digital Print Finishing: 1 year (Preferred)

Work Location: In person
