A Printing Machine Operator, also known as a printing machine technician or pressman, is responsible for operating, preparing, and maintaining printing machines used in various printing processes. These operators work with different types of presses, including offset lithographs, flexographic, and letterset presses, across multiple industries. The job typically requires physical stamina, strong communication skills, and the ability to troubleshoot mechanical issues quickly to meet production deadlines. Operators usually collaborate closely with coworkers and supervisors in a fast-paced, assembly-line environment, often in large, noisy printing rooms. Duties and Responsibilities. During the day, an operator will collaborate heavily with coworkers and supervisors to ensure that printing jobs are done correctly. When something malfunctions on a press, an operator must perform maintenance quickly and accurately to ensure that deadlines are not jeopardized. The day's duties vary by the type of printing machine being used, but there are some basic tasks that every printing machine operator goes through, regardless of the press. Before any printing can begin, a printing machine operator must first prepare the printing plate. Printing plates are the devices that transfer the text or images to be printed. Plates are applied directly to the paper via the press or through an intermediate image carrier, such as a print blanket used in offset printing or offset lithography. Regardless of the printing process being used, an operator must constantly monitor the process. They will handle any paper jams and pressure problems, clean the press, and refill any inkwells running low.
