Located in Cleveland, OH, AGC is a Design+ Print+ Mail firm serving nonprofits, private education, healthcare, religious and arts/culture organizations. We provide graphic design, commercial printing, and direct mail services that help mission-driven organizations communicate and thrive.

If you love solving technical challenges, prepping files for press, and ensuring flawless print quality, this is a great opportunity to grow your skills in a stable, fast‑paced, creative environment.

RIP and plot files for proofing and final output, ensuring correct color profiles and resolution.

Set up layouts and imposition for offset printing (multi‑page and commercial work).

Work closely with our Production Manager, designers, and press/bindery teams to keep jobs moving smoothly.

Coordinate with outside vendors for specialty bindery or finishing services, die‑cutting, and more.

Manage file organization, archiving, and version control.

Troubleshoot design and file issues quickly and effectively.

Assist with paper ordering and communicate production needs as jobs move through the workflow.

What We’re Looking For

3–5 years of experience in prepress or commercial printing (offset experience preferred).

Strong proficiency in Adobe Creative Suite and Mac OS.

Experience with RIP/imposition software; FujiFilm XMF a plus.

Strong understanding of color management, resolution, bleeds, and print production standards.

Detail‑oriented, organized, and able to work in a deadline‑driven environment.

Clear communicator and collaborative team player.

Diploma/degree in Graphic Design or Printing Technology is preferred but not required.

Why You’ll Love Working Here

A well‑established firm with a strong reputation, long‑term clients and meaningful work.
