About us Minuteman Press Rancho Cucamonga is a locally owned commercial print and signage shop serving businesses, schools, and organizations throughout the Inland Empire. Our work includes business printing, marketing materials, wide-format signage, and promotional products. You'll work with a small team and collaborate directly with the people producing your designs. Projects move quickly, and you'll often see your work go from screen to press to customer the same day. The role Your time will be split between original design and production preparation. One project might involve developing a logo or brochure from a customer brief; the next might involve repairing supplied artwork or preparing graphics for a window, vehicle, or building.

Prepare production files with correct bleed, safe areas, CMYK and spot colors, imposition, and PDF/X export settings. Set up wide-format artwork, including scale, tiling, contour cut paths, and allowances for finishing, lamination, and mounting. Create accurate proofs, manage revisions, and keep job files and versions organized. Check spelling, specifications, and consistency; flag missing information or production concerns before files move forward. What you'll bring Confident daily use of Adobe Illustrator, InDesign, and Photoshop. A portfolio showing original design work, strong typography, and effective layouts for print. Practical knowledge of print preparation and the ability to troubleshoot common file problems. The ability to manage several active jobs, meet deadlines, and maintain accuracy as priorities change. Clear communication with customers and coworkers, and the ability to turn feedback into thoughtful revisions. Availability to work on-site in Rancho Cucamonga during the schedule listed above. Strong print fundamentals are essential. We can train you on wide-format specifics. Helpful additional experience Commercial printing, signage, or vehicle graphics. RIP software, color management, or production workflows. Variable data printing or direct mail setup. Pay and benefits $24-$35 per hour, based on experience and demonstrated skills.
