They use specialized software to arrange texts, graphics, and images into a format that is ready for printing. This role requires a strong knowledge of digital file formats, printing processes and color management. They also need to understand the concept of layouts and design principles to create visually appealing and effective materials. A keen attention to detail is essential, as they need to ensure the accuracy and quality of all print materials.
