Print Associate information

What is a print associate?

Print Associates are professionals who work in print shops, copy centers, or retail environments to assist customers with printing, copying, scanning, and related services. They operate printing equipment, ensure the quality of printed materials, and help customers select the best products for their needs. Print Associates may also handle finishing tasks like binding, laminating, and cutting, while maintaining a clean and organized workspace. Strong customer service skills and attention to detail are important qualities for this role.

What skills and qualifications are needed to be a print associate?

To thrive as a Print Associate, you need attention to detail, basic graphic design knowledge, and familiarity with print production processes, often supported by a high school diploma or equivalent. Proficiency in operating digital and offset printing equipment, as well as familiarity with design software like Adobe Creative Suite, is typically required. Strong customer service, time management, and problem-solving skills help you excel in a fast-paced, client-focused environment. These abilities are crucial for ensuring high-quality print results, meeting deadlines, and maintaining customer satisfaction.

What challenges do print associates face and how can they be managed?

Print Associates often encounter challenges such as tight project deadlines, managing multiple print jobs simultaneously, and ensuring high-quality output while minimizing errors. Effective time management, attention to detail, and clear communication with team members are key to overcoming these obstacles. Additionally, staying familiar with print production equipment and software helps in quickly troubleshooting issues, leading to smoother workflows and satisfied clients.

Whether you have experience or you're new to print, we provide training and also cross train in different functions of our Digital Print Facility.

As a Print Production Associate, you will be collaborative and inclusive in helping our customers meet their copy and print needs while being part of a fun, team-oriented culture.

Help both your print facility, local stores and your customers win.
  • Follow production workflow to produce high volume of work
  • Operate a variety of finishing equipment including cutters, drills and bindery
  • Prepare and troubleshoot various file formats and change to PDF print-ready status
  • Ensure that all work produced in accordance with the job ticket and customer's quality expectations
  • Properly use and care for all equipment. Comply with operating instructions and maintenance schedules
  • Partner with the Production Facility Lead for the timely processing of projects
  • Be flexible to perform other duties as assigned; may also serve as back up driver

Preferred Skills
  • Experience working in a print environment
  • Experience using and editing PDF files in a digital print manufacturing environment
