Printing Equipment Operators

Individuals who are involved in one of the three stages of the printing process which includes prepress, press and binding and postpress tasks. In small print shops, job printers may be responsible for all three stages including the composition and page layout of the material received from the customer, checking proofs for errors and print clarity and correcting mistakes, printing the job, and attaching each copy's pages together. In most printing firms, however, each of the stages is the responsibility of a specialized group of workers.
