Zusammenfassung

SpeedPro Windy City is seeking a skilled production specialist to operate wide-format inkjet printers and manage prepress to press readiness. You will preflight files, set up RIP workflows, manage HP Latex and Canon Colorado printers, and ensure color accuracy and output quality.

You will also handle finishing, packaging, and updating job status, while maintaining safety and efficiency in a fast-paced sign and graphics environment.

Qualifikationen

• 2+ years operating wide-format inkjet in a commercial print or sign environment.
• Hands-on experience with HP Latex, Canon Colorado, or comparable roll-to-roll printers (Roland, Mimaki, Epson SureColor).
• Working knowledge of RIP software (ONYX, Caldera, Versaworks, Fiery XF, or similar).
• Prepress and preflight skills in Adobe Illustrator, Photoshop, and Acrobat.

Aufgaben

• Preflight incoming customer and designer files for resolution, bleed, color mode, fonts, dimensions, and overprint before anything goes to press.
• Set up and run jobs through the RIP (ONYX): profiles, nesting, tiling, cut paths, and color management.
• Operate and maintain HP Latex, Canon Colorado, Esko XN24 and similar wide-format printers, plus laminators and plotters, including daily checks, media loading, calibration, and routine maintenance.
• Print, laminate, contour cut, weed, mount, and finish vehicle, wall, window, floor, and rigid signage jobs to spec.
• Match color to brand standards and prior runs; own reprints when output is not right.
• Check every finished piece against the work order before it leaves production.
• Track ink and media, flag reorders, and minimize waste.
• Install smaller graphics such as wall decals and window films as needed.
• Pack, label, and prep completed orders for pickup, shipping, or delivery.
• Update job status in CoreBridge so the front desk always knows where a job stands.
