• Control critical screen printing variables such as squeegee angle, pressure, and off-contact distance to guarantee sharp dots and uniform ink deposition.
• Conduct continuous visual and instrumental inspections to verify registration accuracy, color consistency, opacity, and compliance with industrial durability standards.
• Execute routine first-line machine maintenance, thoroughly clean components per EHS guidelines, and accurately record production parameters within the ERP/MES system.

Required

• Vocational degree or certified technical training in Graphic Media, Print Technology, or an equivalent discipline, with proven hands-on experience operating Sakurai cylinder presses (or equivalent stop-cylinder equipment).
• Strong technical command of screen printing parameters, including mesh counts, emulsion types, squeegee dynamics, and ink chemistry.
• Good proficiency in English (and/or Dutch) with the ability to accurately interpret technical specifications and document operations.

Skills you need to succeed

• Superior color differentiation capabilities for Pantone matching and meticulous attention to micro-details in print registration and surface finishes.
• Autonomous, quality-focused work ethic capable of maintaining high standards, applying 5S principles, and contributing to continuous improvement under production pressures.
