What is a prepress manager?

As a prepress manager, you work at a printing press where you oversee the development of a printing project before it enters large-scale printing. Your responsibilities are specifically to ensure that the graphics or other designs are properly prepared and that the technical specifications are clear to the press operator. You also proofread material and format the project according to the specifications provided to you by the clients. As a manager, you also hire and train new prepress technicians and teach them how to operate prepress equipment and perform other duties for the department.
