Job description

Prepress Production Artist - Commercial Printing

Full-time, hourly with overtime pay · Monday-Friday, 8:00 am-5:00 pm · Euless, TX

Every job we print passes through prepress, and you're the reason it runs right the first time. If you can spot a missing bleed from across the room and know your way around a prepress workflow, read on.

Why prepress at AC Printing?

• Every kind of job: files bound for sheetfed, web, digital and large format, so no two days are the same.
• Hourly, with overtime: long days are paid, not absorbed.
• Established and family-owned: printing in Euless since 1989, in a plant small enough that you work directly with account managers and the pressroom, and see your files on press.

What you'll do

• Preflight customer files, and fix fonts, images, bleeds and color
• Impose jobs for sheetfed, web and digital presses
• Make color corrections, and build proofs for customer approval
• Output plates on our platesetter and keep it running
• Work through changes with account managers, and attend press checks

What you need

• 3+ years preparing files for commercial print, in prepress or as a production artist
• A prepress workflow such as Trueflow, Prinergy, Prinect or XMF; we'll train you on ours
• Strong InDesign, Illustrator, Photoshop and Acrobat; PitStop a plus
• A careful proofing eye, and color correction skills
• You may not have every one of these. If you're close, apply.

Schedule

Monday-Friday, 8:00 am-5:00 pm, with a 1-hour lunch, half of it paid. Overtime when the work calls for it.

A person reviews every application. AC Printing is an equal opportunity employer.
