Printing Press Operator information
What is a printing press operator?
A printing press operator uses printing machines to create newspaper, graphic art, and advertising prints. Traditionally, the printing press operator would have been called a pressman and would use printing plates of metal to create work by hand to print materials and adjust pieces as needed. With modern technology, prints can be made with digital equipment, though knowing how the machines and tools work helps the production run smoothly. Printing press operators should be familiar with print layout programs such as Adobe InDesign.
