Prepress Specialist Jobs in Missouri

A Prepress Specialist is a crucial player in the Printing industry, responsible for ensuring the seamless conversion of text and images into a format that is ready for printing. They handle the initial processing of the source files, including color correction, photo retouching, and page layout. Their main goal is to make sure that the final output will be printed without any errors or quality issues. They are also tasked with creating proof copies for clients to review before the final print run. Their role is a blend of technical expertise and keen attention to detail.

For this role, certain skills and certifications are required. They should have strong computer skills, specifically in using design software such as Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator, and InDesign. Knowledge in handling digital files and understanding printing processes are also crucial. Some employers prefer candidates with a degree in Graphic Design or a related field, while others prioritize industry experience. Certifications like the Certified Graphic Communications Manager (CGCM) or Adobe Certified Expert (ACE) can increase employability. Prior roles that a Prepress Specialist may have include Graphic Designer, Digital Print Operator, or Print Production Assistant.
