What is a press feeder?

A press feeder, also called a press operator, loads paper into the feeding tray of a printing press. As a press feeder, your duties also include verifying job specifications, inspecting the ink and other mechanisms of the machine to ensure they are ready for the project, and monitoring the paper as it runs through the press. When the press is running, you make adjustments to the operations to prevent paper jams. You report the status of the projects and any issues of the machinery to the head press operator.
