Find & Apply For Pre-Press Technician Jobs in Corvallis, Oregon

An established local printing and marketing business is seeking an experienced, hands-on Prepress Manager to coordinate file preparation and digital print production. We're looking for someone who is comfortable both at the computer and on the production floor—preparing customer files, operating printing equipment, troubleshooting production issues, and keeping jobs moving efficiently. Practical experience in a commercial print, quick-print, or print-and-copy environment is a priority. This is a full-time position offering competitive pay and benefits, with opportunities for additional responsibility as you grow with the business. Responsibilities Manage day-to-day prepress workflow and coordinate digital print production. Review and prepare customer-supplied files for accurate, efficient printing. Check layouts, fonts, image resolution, bleeds, color settings, and other production requirements. Use Adobe Acrobat, InDesign, Illustrator, and Photoshop to prepare, correct, and modify print-ready files. Set up and manage print jobs using Fiery Command WorkStation or a comparable print workflow system. Operate digital color and black-and-white printing equipment, including job setup, paper selection, and production checks. Coordinate with the design and customer service teams to clarify specifications, resolve file issues, and meet deadlines. Monitor print quality, troubleshoot production problems, and minimize waste and rework. Operate bindery and finishing equipment as appropriate to experience and training. Perform routine equipment care and coordinate service when needed. Monitor paper, toner, and other production supplies. Maintain a safe, organized, and efficient production area. Qualifications Prior hands-on experience in commercial printing, quick printing, or digital print production. Experience operating production printing equipment—not solely preparing artwork or sending files to an outside printer. Strong prepress skills and the ability to identify and correct file problems before production. Proficiency with Adobe Creative Suite, particularly InDesign, Illustrator, and Photoshop. Experience with Adobe Acrobat and PDF-based print workflows. Familiarity with Fiery Command WorkStation or a comparable system preferred. Understanding of paper stocks, print specifications, color consistency, and finishing requirements. Excellent attention to detail, organizational skills, and problem-solving ability. Ability to manage multiple jobs and changing priorities while maintaining quality. Clear communication skills and a collaborative approach. Equipment Experience Please identify the equipment you have personally operated.

Relevant experience may include:

Digital production presses and high-volume color or black-and-white copiers. Paper cutters. Folders and creasing/scoring equipment. Booklet-making and other binding equipment. Laminators. Wide-format printers. Experience across multiple areas of print production is valued. Please distinguish equipment you can independently set up and operate from equipment you have only assisted with. Compensation and Benefits Full-time employment. Competitive pay based on relevant experience and qualifications. Benefits. Opportunity for growth and expanded responsibility. How to Apply Please submit your résumé and a brief summary of your prepress and print-production experience. Include the equipment and software you have used, your level of operating responsibility, and any experience coordinating production workflow. A portfolio is welcome but not required. Hands-on production experience is a priority for this position.
