Pressman Jobs

A Pressman, also known as a Printing Press Operator, is an essential professional in the printing industry tasked with the responsibility of managing the printing press. Their main duties involve setting up and operating the printing press, making necessary adjustments to ensure quality, carrying out regular maintenance activities, and troubleshooting any mechanical issues that may arise. They are also responsible for loading paper, mixing inks and ensuring the correct color balance. Pressman often work in fast-paced environments and should possess strong attention to detail, problem-solving abilities, mechanical skills, and the ability to perform manual labor.

To qualify for the role of a Pressman, a high school diploma or equivalent is typically required, although some employers prefer candidates with post-secondary training in Graphic Communications or a related field. Further, certification such as the PrintEd Certification by the Graphic Arts Education and Research Foundation can prove beneficial. Prior to becoming a Pressman, an individual may have held positions such as a Bindery Operator, where they would gain experience with assembling, binding, and trimming printed materials, a Prepress Technician, handling the setting up of printing presses for operation, or an Ink Mixer, where they would gain expertise in color theory and ink mixing.
