Digital Print Artworker / Graphics Production Operative

Job description

Digital Print Artworker / Graphics Production Operative

Leyland, Lancashire

Salary: up to £29500 DOE

Full-time, site-based

Do you have experience preparing customer artwork, graphics or logos for print?

Have you worked within signage, large-format printing, reprographics or another print-production environment?

Are you confident checking files, making technical adjustments and sending artwork through to digital printing machinery?

We are recruiting for a Digital Print Artworker / Graphics Production Operative to join an established luxury wallcovering manufacturer based in Leyland.

This role sits between the creative studio and the production floor.

You will receive customer artwork, check that it is suitable for print, make any necessary technical amendments and prepare the files using specialist production software. Once the artwork has been approved, you will send it through to the digital printing machinery and check that the finished result meets the required standard.

This is not necessarily a role for somebody creating new brands, logos or marketing campaigns from scratch.

It is more likely to suit somebody who has worked within signage, large-format printing, graphics production, reprographics or pre-press and understands how to take customer-supplied artwork and make it ready for production.

The Role

Your responsibilities will include:

• Receiving and checking customer artwork, logos and graphics
• Making sure files are the correct size, resolution and format for production
• Identifying problems that could affect the finished print
• Amending, resizing or cleaning up artwork where required
• Preparing and setting up files using AVA or similar graphics and print-production software
• Using RIP or production software to send approved files to the printers
• Checking layouts, repeats, scale and positioning before production
• Monitoring colour and print quality
• Making adjustments where the finished output does not match the approved artwork
• Inspecting completed prints and identifying any quality issues
• Working closely with the studio and production teams
• Supporting the operation of digital printing equipment
• Carrying out basic cleaning and routine maintenance where required

What We Are Looking For

You may currently be working as a:

• Digital Print Artworker
• Graphics Production Operative
• Signage Artworker
• Large Format Artworker
• Pre-Press Artworker
• Reprographics Operator
• Print Production Technician
• Mac Operator
• Digital Print Operator

Experience within signage would be particularly relevant, especially if you are used to taking customer logos and artwork, preparing them for production and sending the finished files to large-format printing equipment.

You will ideally have:

• Experience preparing graphics or artwork for print
• Strong Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop skills
• Experience working with customer-supplied logos or artwork
• An understanding of resolution, sizing, file formats and print setup
• Knowledge of RIP or print-production software
• A good understanding of colour management
• Strong attention to detail
• The ability to identify and correct artwork problems
• Confidence working within a production environment
• A practical and methodical approach

Experience using AVA software would be beneficial, but training can be provided.

Previous wallpaper or textile experience is not essential. Candidates from signage, graphics, large-format printing, packaging, reprographics and other digital print environments will be considered.

This is an excellent opportunity for somebody with strong graphics and print-production experience to move into a specialist luxury manufacturing environment.
